“…Both of these two combines together to give rise to intentions towards a certain activity, so its highly likely that factors affecting motivation will have a direct influence on both EA and EI. Push factor and balance factor showed a non-significant effect on entrepreneurial motivations (Choukir et al, 2013). Moreover, decision making towards entrepreneurship requires a background of EA and EI.…”

Entrepreneurship is strongly affected by the intentions and attitude of an entrepreneur. Women entrepreneurs are the most important elements of success in all communities, but they are most often neglected by society which leads to a different attitude and intention of women towards entrepreneurship as compared to men. Both societal and familial factors are responsible for the development of the entrepreneurial attitude and intentions of an individual. Tunisian society is more rigid towards women’s entrepreneurship due to the presence of patriarchal nature which causes a lower interest of women in business activities. This review provides insight into the factors responsible for the attenuation of entrepreneurial attitude (EA) and entrepreneurial intentions (EI) among rural women of Tunisia. We reviewed previous literature for this cause and tried to identify the most prominent effects of societal, cultural and familial factors affecting the EA and EI of women residing in rural Tunisia. Results from the data yield some factors which had a direct or indirect influence on the EA and EI of rural Tunisian women which included social capital, family support (Husband and parents), entrepreneurial education, entrepreneurial training, regional context (Culture), self-efficacy, pull factor, an emotional factor, lack of managerial skills, risk-taking, role model (Parental and organizational) and reference groups.

“…Moreover, while family‐related factors are important for both genders worldwide (Verheul et al., 2012), they have also been recognized as critical for women's entrepreneurship (De Bruin et al., 2007; Patrick et al., 2016). Other studies focus on factors of recent attention such as the importance of emancipation as a driver of female entrepreneurship (Sutter et al., 2019) or emotional factors such as work engagement and the need for social networking (Choukir and Hentati, 2013). Other authors have focused on the importance of empowerment as an outcome of female entrepreneurship (Digan et al., 2019), while in the last decade some authors have argued that the barriers women face in their careers might push them into entrepreneurship (Knörr, 2011; Patterson and Mavin, 2009).…”

The literature on entrepreneurship has developed a huge body of fruitful research to explain why women do not engage in business as often as men. However, relatively little is known about the role that different business models may play in driving women's entrepreneurial activity, which is examined in this study.In this paper we develop a model to empirically test the relationship between women's motivations to become entrepreneurs and their willingness to embark on business through cooperatives, a particular organizational model. We find that the fit between women's needs and expectations and the guiding principles of cooperatives is decisive for the materialization of female entrepreneurship. Furthermore, we explore the role that institutions can play in fostering this link. In doing so, we extend the literature on women's entrepreneurship by highlighting key factors to better channel the development of this potential resource for economic development. Our confirmatory model highlights the role of cooperatives as a type of organization particularly suited to the interests and needs of women entrepreneurs. Thus, the promotion of this business model can be useful to improve the number of women entrepreneurs and, in turn, enhance economic development.

Hal ini karena kegiatan kewirausahaan menciptakan dan menambah nilai dari suatu sumber daya.…”

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and community development initiatives grow rapidly in recent years. It's an act of a business ethics by taking part in efforts to achieve sustainable development goals (SDGs). It does not have economic value per se, but also social, cultural and political by involving local agent and existing cultural institutions which in turn catalyse the emergence and the redefinition of local social-political movement. This study discusses the emergence of local agent and their significant roles as social entrepreneur in the community development program initiated by Kaltim Prima Coal (KPC) in East Kalimantan province. This study employs qualitative method. Primary data were gathered from interviews and participant-observations, while secondary data were gathered from company reports and company internal presentation materials. The main qualitative data are short stories of three social entrepreneurs live in the mining areas who network with CSR and community development program of PT. Kaltim Prima Coal. This study suggests that social entrepreneurs are the key success of community development program, because they have the capability to foster members of their community to be innovative and creative, as well seize their opportunity for empowerment and to increase community members participation in development. The social entrepreneur have a strong bonding with local culture even though they are not native of their locality. In some cases, social entrepreneurs initiate the local socio-political movement and they do not merely play their role as social broker.
