“…From a social competence perspective, Chandler and Hanks (1994) performed a meta-analysis of 800 companies and discovered that higher levels and wider varieties of resource-based capabilities were remarkably related to venture performance, giving credence to the resource-based argument that business performance is mainly a result of the firm’s ability to exploit a market and not of market attractiveness. More recent studies among Generation Y entrepreneurs in Malaysia and also, among entrepreneurs with other categories of entrepreneurs underscore the importance of social competence to the growth and survival of businesses (Agarwal et al , 2020; Lloret and Bañon, 2019; Sadik et al , 2018; Tocher et al , 2012).

“…There is thus a connection between social competence and performance of business enterprises as evidenced in the extant literature (Lloret and Bañon, 2019; Sadik et al , 2018), which increasingly points to the need for business owners to develop entrepreneurial skills to give their ventures a competitive edge (Hashim et al , 2018). Agarwal and Lenka (2017) and Asare et al (2015) advocate the need for policy reforms and a concerted effort aimed at developing the skill set and capabilities of women entrepreneurs.…”

Purpose This paper aims to investigate the moderating dynamics of social competence in the relationship between intangible resources and the performance of women businesses from an emerging market context. Developed economy literature provides ample evidence of a positive relationship between intangible resources and the performance of women business ventures. Little is known of the complexity of this orthodoxy in developing markets such as Ghana. In particular, this paper investigates the moderating role of social competence in the relationship between intangible resources available to women entrepreneurs and performance. Design methodology approach An exploratory sequential mixed method research design was used. First phase involved qualitative data collected through interviews, and the second phase was quantitative data collected from 264 participants. Content analysis and multiple regression analysis were used. Findings Social competence is important to the success of women businesses as it influences the outcome of entrepreneurial interactions and communications. Also, it positively moderated the relationship between organisational reputational capital (RC) and women business growth. On the flip side, it negatively moderated the relationship between human capital, social capital, individual RC and women business growth. Practical implications To sustainably grow their businesses, women entrepreneurs must ascertain the right level of social competence needed. The utilization of social competence at higher rather than lower levels could mean more costs and more training for which the business may not have immediate use. Originality value This paper advocates the need to improve the content of entrepreneurial training packages to include the reinforcement of social competency skills in terms of relationship management as this may be the key to the facilitation of access to resources for innovation and growth.
