Abstract: The purpose of the present study was comparing the profiles of perceived self-efficacy in teamwork and entrepreneurship between men and women university students. A total sample of 2,089 participants, 902 women and 1,187 men, aged 17-20 years participated in this study. All the freshmen university students from each degree offered by the Autonomous University of Chihuahua (Mexico) conformed the sample. In order to carry out the study it was used a quantitative approach with a descriptive and transversal survey design. All the participants completed the Self-efficacy Teamwork and Entrepreneurship Scale. Statistically, the results of the one-way multivariate analysis of variance, followed by the one-way univariate analyses of variance, showed that women have a significant (p < .05) and better perceived self-efficacy in teamwork than men, in the desired self-efficacy and reachable self-efficacy, but statistically in the possibility for improving self-efficacy perceived significant differences were not found (p > .05). Regarding the entrepreneurship factor, females results showed a significant greater desire and reachable self-efficacy than men (p < .05). However, for all the other variables statistically significant, differences were not found (p > .05). Thanks to differences found between men and women in their own perception of self-efficacy, it´s suggested that in order to design an intervention to improve the perceived self-efficacy of the students, the variable gender should be taken into account.

Abstract: The aim of this present study consisted in comparing the profiles of the academic Self-efficacy perceived in ‘Social’ and ‘Health’ Sciences University students. The total sample was 1113 subjects; 524 from Health Sciences and 589 from Social Sciences, with an average age of 18.20 years (DS= 0.72) and 18.24 years (DS=0.74) respectively. The approach adopted in this research was framed into a quantitative approach with a descriptive design, survey type. The results show that the perceived self-efficacy profiles are very similar among ‘Social’ and ‘Health’ Sciences students. And behaviors related to ‘Communication’ factor, represent an opportunity area for University students in their first year. Future studies should replicate these findings with larger samples.
