Abstract
Due to the important contribution of women to economic development, we propose to investigate the factors that affect women entrepreneurs’ success in Saudi Arabia. 271 women in Saudi Arabia participated in the study. A conceptual model is developed, while PLS-SEM software is used for analysis. The findings show a positive association between women’s empowerment as successful entrepreneurs and certain dimensions of entrepreneurial orientation, including economic factors, autonomy, innovativeness, and proactiveness. These findings shed light on the factors that influence women’s ability to become successful entrepreneurs and identify the dimensions and external factors in the entrepreneurial orientation model that are the best predictors of women’s success. This paper contributes to new knowledge on the conditions of women’s entrepreneurship by developing and validating an analytic model for promoting women’s entrepreneurship Saudi Arabia. From a policy perspective, the model can inform the design of training programs to support women’s entrepreneurship in the country. The study has practical implications and suggests future directions for research in this field[Formula: see text]
