Drawing on the social feminism theory and liberal feminism theory, this meta-analysis studied the effects of gender on different performance measures (financial performance, growth, survival, and satisfaction) for new ventures through the mediatory effect of hours worked, human capital levels (education level and experience level), social capital, and debt. The results, based on a meta-analysis of 69 studies with a total sample size of 51,985 new ventures, show that male entrepreneurs invest more hours in their business and have higher level of experience. Moreover, male gender was positively related to financial performance and growth directly and indirectly by influencing hours worked and experience level. Results show that female entrepreneurs are more satisfied with their businesses than male entrepreneurs, and finally our results could not establish an effect for gender on the survival of new ventures.
