The influence of financial service factors on entrepreneurial competencies and business success among women entrepreneurs: a case study of Sahabat Amanah Ikhtiar Malaysia. ASEAN Entrepreneurship Journal, 4 (1): 7. pp. 72-89. ISSN 2637-0301 (2018)
Abstract
Malaysian government is currently pushing for and encouraging women involvement in entrepreneurship, which will ultimately stimulate the country’s economy. Furthermore, concerns regarding the survival and sustainability of business and women entrepreneurs have been brought up by the leadership, despite governmental recognition. The journey towards business success among these women entrepreneurs, especially those from developing countries, may be further complicated by the lack of competencies and the need for continuous assistance. Thus, the present study is aiming to propose a model for women business success, aligning with the role of microfinance as a provider of financial service and entrepreneurial competencies. A total of 392 women entrepreneurs under the Amanah Ikhtiar Malaysia (AIM) scheme have been involved in this study. It has utilised 6 dimensions of entrepreneurial competencies, which are: strategic competencies, commitment competencies, organizing competencies, relationship competencies, commitment competencies, opportunity competencies and conceptual competencies.
