“…Constantly scanning the environment for external knowledge and leveraging enables companies to better cope with the dynamic economy and market environment and remain innovative by producing and providing products and services that meet the needs of emerging markets ( Vo, 2016 ). Therefore, this research postulated that absorption capacity leads to improved performance and success of MSMEs, which ultimately leads to better economic growth in Indonesia ( Fahlevi and Alharbi, 2021 ; Fahlevi et al, 2022 ; Hendratmi et al, 2022 ).…”

“…In the context of Indonesia, MSMEs led by women tend to be poorly structured with small-scale business forms. Studies have shown that women entrepreneurs tend to have fewer competencies and thus face various challenges to develop their businesses due to the cultural, social, and economic aspects of their operations ( Hendratmi et al, 2022 ; Kochar et al, 2022 ). However, even when female entrepreneurs have the required competencies, growth outcomes tend to be unpredictable ( Ladge et al, 2019 ).…”

“…There is nothing wrong with adding or helping the family income. This has been conducted by many women today ( Dheer et al, 2019 ; Eger et al, 2022 ; Hendratmi et al, 2022 ). If two people have income in the family it will be better.…”

“…The success of women entrepreneurs is inseparable from the encouragement of economic and family needs as well as opportunities such as self-confidence and strong affection. The indicators in women leadership can have an impact on becoming successful women entrepreneurs ( Ladge et al, 2019 ; Discua Cruz et al, 2022 ; Hendratmi et al, 2022 ). Good leadership behavior and moral leadership are significantly related to employee creativity which indirectly affects the success of an entrepreneur ( Bruce et al, 2022 ; Franczak and Margolis, 2022 ; Sheerin and Garavan, 2022 ).…”

“…In this research, women entrepreneurs are defined as business leaders who are owned and managed by women wholly or in the majority ( Liu et al, 2021 ; Discua Cruz et al, 2022 ). Existing literature suggests that women entrepreneurs tend not to focus on early and rapid growth ( Ladge et al, 2019 ), but prefer in some cases to remain small ( Hendratmi et al, 2022 ). However, the notion of failure of success among women entrepreneurs has been challenged ( Fine and Sojo, 2019 ).…”

Business and entrepreneurship are certainly not a monopoly on men. As inhabitants of half the world, women also have the right to engage in the business world. In line with the ideals of emancipation, many women currently have the opportunity to become business partners of men. This research aims to clarify the role of absorptive capacity and entrepreneurial competencies in strengthening women’s leadership toward success. This research was conducted in 3 provinces in Indonesia involving 114 women entrepreneurs in the MSME (micro, small, and medium enterprises) category. This research used a structural equation model with the SmartPLS software tool. The results of this research showed that absorptive capacity and entrepreneurial competencies were able to increase women’s leadership toward successful entrepreneurship. City and age moderation failed to moderate the effect of women’s leadership on successful entrepreneurship. The government on a macro scale needs to pay attention to providing understanding or special training for women MSME business actors who are trying to build their business from scratch. Business challenges for women entrepreneurs are heavier than for men because there are several social, value, and cultural barriers that require special treatment and strategies in developing the potential of women entrepreneurs in Indonesia.

Because women in Indonesian society gain more experience in the family, one of which is education instilled through family gender culture, women's career aspirations are believed to have their own characteristics. In today's society, the current condition of female students' career expectations is apprehensive. Most of the female students do not have any professional characteristics, such as career aspirations. This research involving 109 female students from various cultural contexts will divide their findings into two categories: patriarchal family education and matriarchal family education. The main objective of this research is to investigate the career expectations of female students in relation to patriarchal and matriarchal family education, and to compare the two household categories. As a result, the majority of female students from societies that place a patriarchal emphasis on gender have expectations of career self-efficacy, whereas those from societies that place a matriarchal emphasis on gender have expectations of outcomes. Parametric analysis of variance (ANOVA) test was used for comparative analysis. The test results show F = 75.011 for career expectations on self-efficacy and F = 145.467 for outcome expectation (OE). 0.000 is a significant value for both variations.
