Political Aspects and the Entrepreneurial Success of Women

Abstract

This research investigates the impact of the prevailing political climate in Pakistan on the entrepreneurial achievements of women. The critical importance of a stable political environment in facilitating successful business ventures has also been noted. To accomplish this, the research method utilized self-administered questionnaires to collect data from two cohorts of Pakistani women entrepreneurs: those who were registered and those who were not. The registered members of the organization were selected through a stratified random sampling method from the seven women's chambers of commerce and industry in Pakistan. In contrast, the non-registered members were drawn from Facebook groups. Utilizing a quantitative research methodology, 506 samples were collected. Multiple regression models indicate that political variables influence the entrepreneurial performance of women across the board. Additionally, the results illustrate that female entrepreneurs perceive a lack of support from the government in regards to the responsibilities essential for the operation of their businesses.
