“…Just a fraction of 1% of women, in comparison to 21% of men, engage in entrepreneurial activity as an entrepreneur (Kunwar, 2022). Women entrepreneurs have helped to boost the country's economy and promote growth (Banihani, 2020;Feng et al 2023). Despite the important economic function that women entrepreneurs play in Third-World nations, their financial position is minimal (Ekong 2023).…”

Women’s participation and support in the business sector have recently emerged as essential to economic diversification in developing countries such as Pakistan. Women entrepreneurs can help a country progress by expanding trade. The impact of women’s entrepreneurship on economic complexity is still underexplored. The current research aims to fill a lacuna in previous studies by determining the impact of women's entrepreneurship on economic complexity in Pakistan that was less apparent in extant literature in the case of Pakistan, to the best of the researchers' knowledge. Annual time-series data from 1991 to 2021 have been collected for the present research. The Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) bound method has been utilized for analysis. The findings demonstrate that women’s entrepreneurship has positively and significantly impacted economic complexity in the long term. At a 1% significance level, a 1% increase in female entrepreneurship raises economic complexity by 0.269%. The participation of women in employment raises productivity, which in turn raises diversification and innovation, as well as the economic complexity in a country. Thus, it is essential to improve gender equality by offering educational and entrepreneurial possibilities for women. Furthermore, it provides employment-related skills and the fundamental level of business loans.

PurposeThis study develops and tests a model that explores how human capital impacts micro-business performance through the sequential mediation of new technology adoption and entrepreneurial bricolage.Design/methodology/approachA cross-sectional study was conducted on 508 women entrepreneurs engaged in micro-businesses in Malaysia. This study used partial least squares structural equation modeling to test the hypotheses.FindingsThis study demonstrates the significant impact of human capital on micro-business performance. It establishes a sequential mediation model in which technology adoption and entrepreneurial bricolage mediate the nexus of human capital–micro-business performance.Research limitations/implicationsThis study contributes to the theory by innovatively integrating human capital, new technology adoption, entrepreneurial bricolage, and microbusiness performance, drawing on the resource-based view and human capital theory. However, its cross-sectional nature limits causal inference, and focusing solely on women entrepreneurs in Malaysian micro-businesses may constrain novelty. Additionally, the reliance on self-reported data introduces bias, emphasizing the need for future research.Practical implicationsFostering entrepreneurial bricolage and embracing technology adoption can enhance performance. Business managers can optimize strategies by promoting continuous learning, innovative problem-solving, and technological advancements.Social implicationsThis study highlights the potential social and economic impacts of supporting women-owned micro-businesses in Malaysia. Policymakers can promote economic growth, employment, and community well-being by emphasizing innovation, human capital development, and technology adoption in Malaysia’s diverse ethnic contexts.Originality/valueThis study introduces a distinctive serial mediation framework to understand the impact of human capital on micro-business performance. It explores mediation dynamics, extends the knowledge of serial mediation in the human capital-performance relationship of microbusinesses, and contributes to the unexplored roles of technology adoption and entrepreneurial bricolage in Malaysian micro-businesses.
