“…The phenomenon of entrepreneurship is reported to lead to psychological empowerment and well-being of entrepreneurs (Chakraborty & Biswal, 2021; Haq et al, 2021). It offers autonomy to an entrepreneur who organises the factors of production, undertakes risk and provides employment to others (Haq et al, 2021; Rajesh et al, 2019). Ndunda et al (2020) define psychological well-being as ‘the individual’s evaluation of their universal human needs and effective functioning psychologically’, which conforms with the description of the concept ‘which the individual realizes his or her abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and can make a contribution to his or her community’ (Heun et al, 2001).…”

This research study aims to explore the role of psychological empowerment of female entrepreneurs in the sociocultural context of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. Psychological empowerment and well-being are considered under-researched from the perspective of a female entrepreneur. The study employs the qualitative methodology to generate an understanding of the phenomenon of female entrepreneurship leading to the psychological empowerment of women in Pakistan. Data were collected from Pakistani female entrepreneurs using in-depth interviews. A grounded theory framework was employed to generate the emergent findings. Emerging themes revolve around personality characteristics, gender development, sociocultural support and religion shaping the psychological empowerment of Pakistan female entrepreneurs. The females were also reported to have appreciable competence in managing their businesses. In addition, the findings showed that the females had a greater level of autonomy, independence and freedom to run their businesses. The findings present preliminary evidence that females engaged in entrepreneurial activities feel psychologically empowered. These outcomes provided valuable insight into using entrepreneurship as a strategic tool to empower Pakistani female entrepreneurs. This should contribute to a critical and more distinct understanding of the psychological empowerment of female entrepreneurship in developing economies.

This study explores the effect of dispositional optimism bias on entrepreneurial success. By reviewing a mixture of previous studies from different disciplines: psychology, business and economics, we predict that this bias can positively affect entrepreneurial success. Based on a sample of 255 entrepreneurs in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and using the LOT-R psychometric test to measure the level of dispositional optimism among entrepreneurs, the effect of this variable on entrepreneurial success was tested, and the results show that this bias positively affects entrepreneurial success. Entrepreneurial success was also measured through three different proxies: the level of entrepreneurs’ satisfaction with what has been achieved from their entrepreneurial projects, the variation in the number of employees, and sales growth and the results were stable. We also find that entrepreneurs’ experience, age, and gender can influence entrepreneurial success. Finally, we should view entrepreneurial success not only as a function of traditional variables but also as a function of psychological biases.
