Abstract

This study investigated the influence of socio- economic factors on empowerment of women enrolled in table banking in Busia County, Kenya. The study used the following theories in supporting the research variables; social network theory, capital formation theory, human capita theory and Schien theory. Descriptive research design was used in the study. The study targeted 63 officials from 21 women table banking groups in Busia County . The study adopted census thus collect data from the all the 63 respondents. The study used primary data which was collected using structured questionnaires. Pilot test was conducted to test validity and reliability of data collection tools. Descriptive and inferential analysis was done by the use of Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS 23) and presented through percentages, means, standard deviations and frequencies. For variable relationships, inferential analysis was examined and analyzed. Data was presented by use of tables, figures and models. Using Pearson correlation coefficient, the findings established a direct and positive relationship between empowerment of women enrolled in Table banking group and independent variables; fund mobilization, access to finance, social capital and capacity building. Further inference using multiple linear regressions showed the proportionate contribution of socio-economic success factors towards empowerment of women enrolled in table banking. This study observed that fund mobilization showed the greatest positive significant predictive power towards empowerment of women enrolled in table banking while access to finance had least positive significant predictive power. In this regard, the study recommended that table banking groups should as well pursue viable and economical external sources of funding to boost their capital base and support the group investment activities. The study recommended that women enrolled in table banking should enhance social capital through social networking. Further, the study recommended that government should come up with policies that would enhance women accessibility to finance since it has positive effect on women empowerment.

社会经济因素和赋予肯尼亚布西亚县参加餐桌银行的妇女权力
本研究旨在探讨社会经济因素对肯亚布西亚县参与桌银业务的妇女赋权的影响。本研究使用以下理论来支持研究变量:社会网络理论、资本形成理论、人力资本理论和希恩理论。本研究采用描述性研究设计。这项研究的对象是布西亚县21个妇女银行组织的63名官员。本研究采用人口普查的方法,收集了63名受访者的数据。该研究使用了通过结构化问卷收集的原始数据。为检验数据采集工具的效度和信度,进行了先导试验。使用社会科学统计软件包(SPSS 23)进行描述性和推理分析,并通过百分比,平均值,标准差和频率表示。对于变量关系,进行了检验和分析的推理分析。数据采用表格、图形和模型的形式呈现。使用Pearson相关系数,结果表明,表银行组妇女赋权与自变量之间存在直接的正相关关系;筹集资金、获得资金、社会资本和能力建设。使用多元线性回归的进一步推断显示,社会经济成功因素对参与表银行业务的妇女赋权的比例贡献。本研究发现,资金动员对参与桌面银行业务的妇女赋权具有最大的正向显著预测能力,而获得融资的正向显著预测能力最低。在这方面,研究报告建议,桌面银行集团也应寻求可行和经济的外部资金来源,以增加其资本基础并支持集团投资活动。该研究建议,从事桌银业务的女性应通过社交网络增强社会资本。此外,该研究建议政府应制定政策,提高妇女获得融资的机会,因为这对赋予妇女权力具有积极作用。关键词:资金动员,能力建设,社会资本,融资渠道引文:Kesa, s.d., Otinga, H., &;Miroga, J.(2023)。社会经济因素和赋予肯尼亚布西亚县参加餐桌银行的妇女权力。商业战略杂志;变革管理,10(3),420 - 445。
