“…The government in Saudi Arabia should also work to provide the necessary compensation funds to affected people so that they might rebuild their level of self-confidence, allowing them to either continue with their existing businesses or develop new innovative ones. Educational institutions should also work on introducing skills development topics-such as personal traits and entrepreneurial education [7,73,74]-into their syllabi. This would ensure that potential entrepreneurs who join as regular students receive skills development courses or programmes, while interested non-students could also benefit from such programmes.…”

This study’s objective is to examine the influence of entrepreneurial self-efficacy and internal locus of control on the entrepreneurial intention of small Saudi entrepreneurs during adverse times, with entrepreneurial resilience as a moderator. The study, which targeted a sample of 207 small entrepreneurs working in various sectors in Saudi Arabia, gathered data through an online questionnaire sent to respondents and analysed the results using PLS-SEM. The study revealed intriguing findings, such as the existence of a positive significant relationship between entrepreneurial self-efficacy, internal locus of control and entrepreneurial intention amongst small Saudi entrepreneurs. It also demonstrated that in times of adversity, such as during the COVID-19 pandemic and other environmental challenges, entrepreneurial resilience can act as a moderator between entrepreneurial intention and entrepreneurial self-efficacy. Entrepreneurial resilience, in particular, has the potential to strengthen the relationship between entrepreneurial self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intention. Accordingly, the government, along with other sectors and stakeholders in Saudi Arabia, should continue to support the psychological characteristics of small Saudi entrepreneurs, notably their internal locus of control, entrepreneurial self-efficacy, and entrepreneurial resilience to ensure greater sustainability and the continuity of their small businesses.

The aim of this study is to contribute to the indigenous female entrepreneurship literature by investigating the factors contributing to the unique constraints, currently facing indigenous entrepreneurs in Australia and to articulate the corresponding consequences for the sustainable economic development of their communities. Design/methodology/approachDue to the social ties embedded in the indigenous communities by the indigenous entrepreneurs, a triangulation research design was used. Ten purposely selected informants added to the data from the secondary sources and a self-administered questionnaire via an online platform. FindingsThe results suggest that there are a unique constraints facing Australia indigenous women including racial and gender discrimination. These indigenous entrepreneurs faces challenges which include: perceived racial discrimination; the limited amount of government and institutional support to these indigenous women; lack of entrepreneurial skills and management capability and experience; absence of technological skills and assimilation to the mainstream economy; lack of self-confidence by these women; pressures of work-life balance; lack of role models in the community and personal motivation; and lack sustainable markets and distribution channels of their products. Research limitations/implicationsThe paper acknowledges the limitations of the study on other areas outside the contextual and scope of the study. However the implications are pertinent in providing the current status of the challenges affecting indigenous, women entrepreneurs in South Australia. It adds to the few contemporary studies taken into the context of women entrepreneurship -especially in the indigenous community of South Australia. A much needed discourse was needed in women entrepreneurship and the context of racial, gender and political bias and its implications in their business sustainability. Originality/valueIn turn, this research findings should be given attention and provide a model for the development of policy and infrastructure to support contemporary indigenous female entrepreneurs in their contextual implications. On a crucial and wider basis, the implications of this study are pertinent in efforts towards ensuring sustainability of start-ups and livelihoods in the indigenous communities.

PurposeThis study investigates the antecedents of women entrepreneurs’ performance in an emerging economy. Based on the review of extant literature, six antecedents of women entrepreneurs’ performance, namely, motivation, networking, socio-cultural, business environment, training and development, and financials were proposed and subsequently empirically examined.Design/methodology/approachGaps in the literature were identified, based on which the theoretical background of the study was formulated. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were applied to confirm the factor-item structure. The impact of explanatory variables was investigated using the structural equation modeling (SEM) based path analysis.FindingsThe study concludes that motivation, networking, socio-cultural, business environment, training and development, and financials have a significant positive influence on the performance of the women entrepreneurs.Originality/valueThere is a dearth of quality research that holistically investigates the key antecedents of performance among women entrepreneurs. Most existing studies have not considered the possible antecedents of performance concomitantly. Additionally, the relationships have been measured individually rather than at the construct level. Further, a majority of the existing studies investigating the performance of women entrepreneurs have been confined to settings within developed countries. By providing insight into the antecedents of women entrepreneurs’ performance elsewhere, the present study attempts to bridge these identified gaps. This study is expected to advance the knowledge about the factors influencing the performance of women entrepreneurs in emerging economies such as India. These insights will likely be valuable when creating policies related to this crucial aspect of economic development.
