Abstract

The Problem In Malaysia, women entrepreneurs are underrepresented, and little is known about their development of self-leadership. Official statistics indicate that approximately half of the businesses run by women remain underperforming. This shows that women entrepreneurs’ self-leadership is an issue that should be addressed. The Solution This study aims to explore self-leadership development of Malaysian women entrepreneurs. Qualitative interviews with seven women entrepreneurs were conducted. The study findings indicated that self-leadership is a process that can be developed and mastered by women entrepreneurs so that they have better chances of success in their business start-ups. This study provides a model of the self-leadership process that illustrates a range of influences that are likely to contribute to women entrepreneurs’ self-leadership development. The Stakeholders The model developed would be beneficial to human resource development (HRD) practitioners and Malaysian government agencies (e.g., SME Corporation Malaysia) that design and deliver interventions (e.g., incubator programs and training workshops) focusing on women entrepreneurs’ self-leadership development.
探索马来西亚女企业家的自我领导能力发展
问题在马来西亚,女性企业家的代表性不足,对她们的自我领导力发展知之甚少。官方统计数据显示,大约一半由妇女经营的企业仍然表现不佳。这表明女企业家的自我领导能力是一个需要解决的问题。解决方案本研究旨在探讨马来西亚女企业家的自我领导能力发展。对7名女企业家进行了定性访谈。研究结果表明,女性企业家可以发展和掌握自我领导能力,这样她们在创业中就有更好的成功机会。本研究提供了一个自我领导过程的模型,说明了可能有助于女企业家自我领导发展的一系列影响。利益相关者所开发的模式将有利于人力资源开发(HRD)从业者和马来西亚政府机构(如马来西亚中小企业公司),这些机构设计和提供干预措施(如孵化器计划和培训研讨会),重点关注女企业家的自我领导力发展。
