Entrepreneurship is one of the factors affecting the growth of economies worldwide. Hence, the growth of the entrepreneurship rate will be one of the concerns of policymakers in today’s societies. In order to study the factors affecting the growth of entrepreneurship rate, this fact that the attitude of individuals and the method they consider for launching a business varies from person to person is obvious. Since the opportunity-based and necessity-based entrepreneurial activities are two different attitudes in the business initiation, so, the purpose of this study is to demonstrate the existence of a significant difference in these indicators across developed and underdeveloped societies. Hence, using the dataset gathered by the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) in 2015, this article tried to analyze the difference in the opportunity-based and necessity-based entrepreneurship rates in the factor-driven, efficiency-driven, and innovation-driven economies across the GEM member countries. As well as, with respect to the type and size of samples, the appropriate methods have been applied to reach reliable results. To compare the mean values of different groups, depending on sample size and parametric or nonparametric conditions, the ANOVA methods are being used. To this end, the Least Significant Difference (LSD), and the Wilcoxon method were the statistical ways to demonstrate the significant difference between the subgroups made by the GEM member countries. As a matter of fact, this study methodically showed that the opportunity-based entrepreneurship, as opposed to the necessity-driven entrepreneurship, in innovation-driven economies is more than in factor-driven economies. As a result, this study refers to the importance of motivation in launching efficient businesses.

创业精神是影响全球经济增长的因素之一。因此，企业家率的增长将成为当今社会决策者关注的问题之一。为了研究影响企业家率增长的因素，这一事实很明显，即个人的态度和他们考虑的创业方法因人而异。由于基于机会的创业活动和基于必要性的创业活动是企业创业的两种不同态度，因此，本研究的目的是证明在发达和不发达社会中，这些指标存在显着差异。因此，使用2015年全球创业监测（GEM）收集的数据集，本文试图分析GEM成员国中以要素驱动，效率驱动和创新驱动的经济体中基于机会和基于必要性的创业率的差异。以及就样品的类型和大小而言，已采用适当的方法来获得可靠的结果。为了根据样本量和参数或非参数条件比较不同组的平均值，使用了方差分析方法。为此，最小显着差异（LSD）和Wilcoxon方法是证明GEM成员国所形成的亚组之间的显着差异的统计方法。事实上，这项研究有条不紊地表明，基于机会的企业家精神与以需求为导向的企业家精神相反，在创新驱动型经济体中，它比在因素驱动型经济体中更多。结果，本研究提到了动机在启动高效企业中的重要性。
