Reliability analysis was conducted using Cronbach Alpha to analyse the data, and validity test was carried. T-test was used to measure the relationship between variables Findings: There is no relationship between ventures success and family/network support to males in both urban and rural areas. A positive relationship between family support and the venture success for female entrepreneurs in urban areas. A negative relationship between network support and venture success for female entrepreneurs in rural areas. A positive relationship between self-efficacy and venture success for female entrepreneurs, positive relationship between need for achievement and venture success for male entrepreneurs and no relationship between risk-taking, innovation, locus of control and the venture success Contribution: A solution for the high unemployment rate can be found in increasing the number of entrepreneurs.
