Abstract: The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of locus of control, the social environment, and the university environment on the entrepreneurial self-efficacy of female university students in Latin America. Hypotheses were tested using a sample of students on business administration, computing, and engineering programs taken from the Global University entrepreneurial spirit students' survey, 2018. Deductive triangulation sequential analysis (QUAN → qual) was performed using Stata 12 Software and interviews. The analyses show a positive effect of locus of control, the university environment, and the social environment on the entrepreneurial self-efficacy of female university students, with locus of control having the most significant effect. These findings corroborate those arguments supporting the effect of these variables as predictors of entrepreneurial self-efficacy in female university students.
