“…The social norms in a given society that views entrepreneurship positively and endorses entrepreneurs lead to the positive perceptions of individuals that they will become accepted, in which case they become more entrepreneurially oriented. Specifically, we suggest that favorable social norms motivate individuals to become entrepreneurs (Karim et al 2022 ; Wennekers et al 2002 ). Scholars maintain that the degree to which the normative pillar is developed reflects directly on individuals’ entrepreneurial intentions (Welter and Smallbone 2009 ; Dehghanpour Farashah 2015 ; Stephan and Pathak 2016 ; Ayob and Sayied 2020 ; Guerrero and Marozau 2022 ).…”

This study aims to examine the effect of institutions on entrepreneurial intentions, the mediation of individual motives in this relationship, and the moderating effect of the country. We tested a sample of 678 questionnaires using quantitative research methods. We used confirmatory factor, correlation, multiple regression, mediation, and moderated mediation analyses to analyze the data. Findings show that normative institutions affect entrepreneurial intentions in Turkey and Kosovo. They also reveal that the personal attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, and need for achievement have a full mediation relationship between regulatory institutions and entrepreneurial intentions and a partial mediation relationship between normative and cultural-cognitive institutions and entrepreneurial intentions. Finally, we found no moderating effect of the country in the relationship between institutions and entrepreneurial intentions. The study contributes to the literature and provides policy and managerial implications on the macro and micro factors that affect entrepreneurial intentions in developing and transition economies.

“…An entrepreneur's ability to get support and acceptance from their circle of friends, relatives, and former acquaintances is directly correlated to the success and expansion of their company (Purwati et al, 2021). There is a positive correlation between the support system and the performance of the business (Karim et al, 2022).…”

A fundamental requirement for a competent and successful entrepreneur is knowledge and practice of entrepreneurial skills, particularly in the commercial context. This study investigates the impact of several entrepreneurial skill development programs in Pakistan, including the Benazir Bhutto Shaheed Human Resource Research Development Board (BBSHRRDB) and the National Vocational and Technical Training Commission (NAVTTC). The population of this study consists of 255 entrepreneurs. The broad objective of the study is to examine the impact ofthe Skill Development Program on producing Women Entrepreneurs in Pakistan. The sample size of this study is 280 female entrepreneurs. A systematic random sampling technique was used to analyse the data. Using Araoye’s (2004) sampling procedure, a sample of female business owners is selected for the study. The data were received by distributing a questionnaire to all respondents. For analysing the data, descriptive statistics were used, and the regression test was performed to test the hypotheses. It was determined that BBSHRRDB and NAVTTC have animpact on the development and performance of female entrepreneurs across all evaluated metrics. The study also concluded that social factors such as formal/ business networks, informal networks, and social acceptance have a significant impact on the success of women entrepreneurs in Pakistan.

“…Therefore, the argument prevalent in published research is that people who own microbusinesses in an emerging economy, especially females who work remotely or in the informal sector, are primarily driven by financial necessity to start their businesses (Gimenez-Jimenez et al, 2020). There are research gaps on the relationship between entrepreneurial attitudes (EA) and entrepreneurial start-ups (Karim et al, 2022). Insufficient emphasis has been paid to the interaction between the psychological aspects of individual entrepreneurs and the social and institutional contexts.…”

Purpose Female entrepreneurs have made increasing contributions to entrepreneurial activity and economic development worldwide, especially in emerging economies. It is well acknowledged that Bangladesh is one such South Asian emerging economy with many institutional and sociocultural challenges. This study aims to examine the effect of the institutional environment (formal and informal institutional factors) that influences female entrepreneurs in an emerging country, namely, Bangladesh. Design/methodology/approach The authors used a quantitative research method using a questionnaire. The authors established the conceptual framework reflecting a model so that they could test their assumptions among female entrepreneurs from an institutional perspective. The conceptual framework was empirically tested and validated. Consequently, this study comprised 324 usable survey responses. To analyse the quantitative data, partial least squares-structural equation modelling was used. Findings The findings highlight that social networks, access to finance and non-economic support have negative and insignificant effects on informal female entrepreneurs. Conversely, entrepreneurial attitudes, cultural context, institutional policy, family roles and education were positive and significant and found to be more important for female entrepreneurship in Bangladesh. Originality/value The results of this study offer empirical evidence of institutional factors as well as focus on three dimensions, women’s experiences from an institutional perspective, Asian culture and the operation of female entrepreneurial activity in an emerging economy (contextual perspective).
