Abstract

This study explores entrepreneurial success among female entrepreneurs, a topic that is poorly investigated in the global South. After a literature review on the concept of women’s entrepreneurial success and on the institutional, economic socio-cultural and familial context of Moroccan female entrepreneurs, results of a qualitative study involving female entrepreneurs based in urban areas, working across diverse industries, are described. Findings indicate that entrepreneurial success is defined by Moroccan female entrepreneurs through four different viewpoints: (1) entrepreneurial success through a company’s financial standing, (2) self-assessed entrepreneurial achievements, (3) societal recognition of entrepreneurial success and (4) the evaluation of entrepreneurial success based on the benefits provided to others. The definition of entrepreneurial success is explored in line with the evolution of women’s priorities and the evolution of Moroccan society. The findings and implications provide policy makers, practitioners and academics with a better understanding of female entrepreneurship and on how to enhance and support these entrepreneurs to increase economic growth.

摩洛哥妇女的创业成功：转型与父权制阻力之间

本研究探讨了女企业家的创业成功问题，而这一问题在全球南方国家的研究很少。在对妇女创业成功的概念以及摩洛哥女企业家的制度、经济、社会文化和家庭背景进行文献综述后，介绍了一项定性研究的结果，该研究涉及在城市地区从事不同行业的女企业家。研究结果表明，摩洛哥女企业家通过四种不同的观点来定义创业成功：(1) 通过公司的财务状况来定义创业成功；(2) 自我评估创业成就；(3) 社会对创业成功的认可；(4) 根据为他人提供的利益来评估创业成功。根据妇女优先事项的演变和摩洛哥社会的演变，探讨了创业成功的定义。研究结果和影响使政策制定者、从业人员和学术界更好地了解女性创业以及如何加强和支持这些创业者以促进经济增长。
