Sustainable entrepreneurship has undoubtedly become a burgeoning field of research nowadays. There are limited amount of research on the domain of females entrepreneurship, therefore objective of this study is to investigate the factors affecting female’s intention for sustainable entrepreneurship. Building on Shapero and Sokol’s entrepreneurial events theory, this study investigates how contextual motivating factors including perceived social support, and perceived barriers impact women’s intention towards sustainable entrepreneurship through perceived desirability, and perceived feasibility. This study further determines the role of entrepreneurial attitude as a driver. In addition, the proposed model examines the relationship between sustainable orientation and sustainable entrepreneurship intention. To analyze data collected from 128 female university students in France, this study employs a Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) approach. We found no significant relationship between perceived barriers and perceived desirability. Results illustrate that perceived social support is critical for university students’ overall entrepreneurial initiative.
