Abstract This study aims to investigate the effect of fear of failure on entrepreneurship intent. It utilises survey data from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (2015) conducted in Senegal. Analysing a sample of 2364 individuals, the probit model was employed, revealing three key findings. Firstly, fear of failure significantly diminishes entrepreneurship intent. Secondly, individuals who are partially employed demonstrate a heightened inclination towards entrepreneurship. Thirdly, fear of failure consistently impacts entrepreneurship intent regardless of gender. A key policy implication of this research is the necessity to address discrimination in policies designed to support individuals with greater entrepreneurial aspirations.
