The present study examines whether there is a significant influence in the attribution of success of entrepreneurs across gender and race. The use of survey questionnaire facilitated the data gathering. One hundred and twenty successful entrepreneurs were chosen as respondents for the survey through the chain referral method. These entrepreneurs were divided into four categories namely, Male-Chinese, Male-Filipino, Female-Chinese and Female-Filipino enterepreneurs. The respondents were asked to indicate to what extent the given characteristics contributed to their individual success as entrepreneurs. The study used a descriptive research design and the analysis of data utilized was the Two Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) with an alpha level of 0.05. Results showed that there was a significant influence in the attribution of success of enterpreneurs across gender. However, no significant influence was found across race and that the interaction effect between the 2 variables was found to be not significant.
