“…Moreover, business performance has become more successful with the increased use of digital technology within social capital.

Pentagon capital is a term used to describe the five essential forms of capital: human, social, financial, physical, and intellectual. These five forms of capital play a crucial role in improving the performance of women entrepreneurs. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the effect of these five forms of capital on the performance of women entrepreneurs, both directly and indirectly, through the adoption of digital technology. The analysis was conducted in 38 regencies/cities located in East Java Province, Indonesia, and comprised 268 women entrepreneurs from various business sectors. Following this, the primary data source was collected through the distribution of questionnaires, and the partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was utilized to assess both the direct and indirect effects of the observed capitals using SmartPLS 4.0 software. The results showed that only social capital had a direct and significant effect on the performance of women entrepreneurs. However, human, financial, physical, and intellectual capital were found to significantly affect the performance of entrepreneurs indirectly through the mediation of the adoption of digital technology. It is also expedient to acknowledge that among the observed variables, financial capital was found to be the most important (19%). These results offered practical understanding for women entrepreneurs on strategies to increase their business income and access loans from financial institutions and government assistance. AcknowledgmentThe authors are grateful to the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology of Indonesia for funding this research.

This chapter proposed a framework for the interactive effect of social capital, locus of control, and institutional support on entrepreneurial orientation (EO) and micro-enterprise performance discourse lacking in a single study. The study used the unidimensional form of EO of women micro-enterprises in developing novel jobs towards narrowing the economic gaps of people. A quantitative approach is utilised with the help of the G-Power to establish the minimum sample size. The chapter provides significant value on the significance of the antecedent variables on women micro-entrepreneurs' perceived performance. The chapter is anchored on the model of strategic entrepreneurship, organisational learning, and learning organisation theories stressing how their adoption by women micro-entrepreneurs could enhance optimal performance. These findings' implications would offer a vital role on women entrepreneurs' performance. Further, the chapter will provide direction for policymakers and future research to enhance the optimal sustainable performance of women micro-entrepreneurs in Malaysia.
