摘要
在2019冠状病毒病的独特背景下,本文旨在分析巴基斯坦政府(GoP)如何为巴基斯坦女企业家提供金融和非金融支持。利用创业资源基础理论(resource-based theory of entrepreneurship, RBTE),本研究推进了对GoP为女企业家提供的资源和资助的理解,以帮助她们在商业中生存。设计/方法/方法本研究采用定性研究方法来解决以下问题:巴基斯坦政府如何应对2019冠状病毒病大流行期间女企业家面临的问题,巴基斯坦政府实施了哪些援助和举措?对20名与巴基斯坦创业部门有关的在职政府官员进行了半结构化访谈。研究结果表明,在疫情期间,GoP与女性创业代表进行了敏锐的沟通,以了解她们面临的商业挑战。此外,还提供了豁免和奖励,以支持他们的商业活动。共和党还邀请女企业家为政策制定提供知识和建议。独创性/价值进行了大量研究,以确定女企业家在大流行病期间面临的问题。然而,政府为解决这些问题而提供的具体战略、政策和支持往往被忽视。本文通过关注巴基斯坦的理事机构和政策制定者在2019冠状病毒病危机期间对女性创业的关注,填补了这一空白。

Semi-structured interviews were conducted with twenty on-job government officials related to the entrepreneurial sector in Pakistan.FindingsThe paper reveals that during the pandemic, GoP keenly communicated with women entrepreneurial representatives to comprehend their business challenges. In addition, waivers and incentives were provided to support their business activities. GoP further invited women entrepreneurs to contribute their knowledge and give suggestions in policy making.Originality/valueLots of research have been conducted to identify the issues faced by women entrepreneurs during the pandemic. However, the specific strategies, policies, and support provided by the governments to address these issues have often been overlooked.
