Abstract

ABSTRACT Micro-entrepreneurship literature underscores the role of individual perceptual factors in structuring the social inclusion of women while considering the social systems which shape it. However, untangling the way individual perceptual factors relate to the entrepreneurial outcome, remains a challenge, due to the social systems of women. Based on responses of 459 women micro-entrepreneurs operating in Madina, Nungua, and Tema, this paper examines the influence of women micro-entrepreneurship on social inclusion with entrepreneurial self-efficacy, fear of failure and resilience as moderators. The value of this study lies in providing significant insights on micro-entrepreneurship increasing the probability of women’s social inclusion with a better strengthening of the relationship based on fear of failure and resilience. The study provides some useful academic insights and offers some practical suggestions for improving policy aimed at using women micro-entrepreneurship as a strategy for social inclusion.

女性微观创业与社会包容：个体感知因素的调节作用

摘要：微观创业文献强调了个体感知因素在构建女性社会包容中的作用，同时考虑了形成这种包容的社会制度。然而，由于女性的社会制度，解开个体感知因素与创业结果的关系仍然是一个挑战。基于在麦地那、努瓜和特马运营的459名女性微型企业家的回答，本文以创业自我效能感、对失败的恐惧和韧性为调节因素，考察了女性微型企业家对社会包容的影响。这项研究的价值在于提供了关于微观创业的重要见解，通过更好地加强基于对失败的恐惧和韧性的关系，提高了女性融入社会的可能性。该研究提供了一些有用的学术见解，并为改进旨在将妇女微型创业作为社会包容战略的政策提供了一些实际建议。
