The growing need for entrepreneurship is considered to be a prominent segment of an economy's evolution, especially female entrepreneurs. This study's motivation is to unleash the critical determinants for female entrepreneurs' evolution in the economy of Bangladesh by following institution and self-leadership theory. The study adopted a quantitative method and a structured questionnaire for data collection from female entrepreneurs in Bangladesh. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was applied to explore the causal effects of access to finance and legal framework. The study revealed that women's entrepreneurial activities are immensely influenced by access to finance, legal constraints, and entrepreneurial skills. The mediating effects of self-leadership behavior also influence women's participation in business activities. Based on the results, it is recommended that the government and other institutions should take the initiative in female entrepreneurship that affect women's self-leading behavior and policymakers should consider the financial aspects relating to women’s business activities. This study is also helpful for empowering women financially and helping them to understand their legal rights by formulating a women-centric strategic plan.

“…The number of female college students from divorced families who want help from others is significantly higher than that of male college students from divorced families, accounting for about 70% of this group (38.46% of male college students from divorced families) ( Saeedikiya et al, 2021b ; Zhan et al, 2021 ; Ajay et al, 2022a ). From the perspective of growth environment, although 43 college students from divorced families living in cities (only 33 in rural areas) hope to get help from others, due to the fact that there are more people from cities in the survey group, the proportion of college students from divorced families living in cities is smaller, 52.44%, as opposed to 67.35% of college students from divorced families living in rural areas ( Ebadi and Shiri Shahraki, 2010 ; Saeedikiya and Aeeni, 2020 ; Saeedikiya et al, 2021a ). The number and proportion of female college students from divorced families are higher than that of male college students from divorced families.…”

In order to analyze the intervention effect of integrating mental health knowledge into ideological and political teaching on college students’ employment and entrepreneurship mentality, this paper proposes a study to predict the effect of integrated intervention. This research mainly investigates the ideological and psychological conditions of college students from divorced families through questionnaires, compares and analyzes the classification and statistical results of the survey data between groups and within groups, and analyzes the reasons for the ideological and psychological problems of college students. The experimental results show that 30% of college students from divorced families and college students from non-divorced families responded that they do not feel comfortable in places with many people, and the difference between the groups is not significant. Regarding the concept of entrepreneurship, 64.63% of college students from divorced families in urban areas believe that entrepreneurship is a form of learning and should be encouraged. 63.27% of college students from divorced families in rural areas believe that learning should be the first priority and that a business should not be started. 20.41% of college students from divorced families in rural areas and 25.61% of college students from divorced families in urban areas believe that because entrepreneurship provides economic income, it can reduce the burden on families, but the difference is not obvious. In short, this study can provide reference for the ideological and psychological status of college students from divorced families.

PurposeThe current research aimed to investigate the external enablement role of Digital Infrastructures (DI) in the interplay of entrepreneurial cognitions and innovation.Design/methodology/approachData from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) and Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI) were used for analyses. This yielded a sample of 8,601 Generation Z entrepreneurs operating in 25 European countries.FindingsApplying hierarchical moderated regressions showed that socio-cognitive components of an entrepreneurial mindset (self-efficacy, risk propensity, opportunity identification) affect innovation among Generation Z entrepreneurs. More importantly, DI plays an external enablement role in the interplay of cognitions and innovation among Generation Z entrepreneurs.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the socio-cognitive theory of entrepreneurship by integrating an external enablement perspective into the study of cognitions and entrepreneurial outcomes (here, innovation). It contributes to the digital technology perspective of entrepreneurship by connecting the conversation about the socio-cognitive perspective of entrepreneurship regarding the role of cognitions in innovation to the conversation in information systems (IS) regarding technology affordances and constraints. This study extends the application of the external enabler framework to the post-entry stage of entrepreneurial activity and integrates a generational perspective into it.
