Abstract While women entrepreneurship is slowly, but progressively, growing in high-technology industries, still face considerable constraints many dimensions of the entrepreneurial process. We theorize that these are not related to women’s lack capabilities and attitudes rather a perceived congruity with role. propose role affects relationship between woman entrepreneur internal stakeholders (e.g., employees), only external ones, thereby dampening orientation women-led firms. suggest entrepreneurs address perception incongruity by taking actions aimed at improving reducing importance role-congruity assessment. The former type action involves adoption an bricolage strategic posture, while latter support from organizations (ESOs). Through regression analysis on sample 463 Italian firms, we find lower ventures behaviors reduces this gender-related penalty; however, do any effect part ESOs.
