Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris
This research aims to investigate the factors leading to the success of Emirati women entrepreneurs. It also investigates the drivers, enablers and barriers toward their success helping further to design a framework for successful women entrepreneurs. This study adopted a qualitative approach using purposive sampling to select thirty successful Emirati women entrepreneurs from different sectors. The study utilized the face-to-face in-depth interview using semi-structured questions and thematic analysis was used to analyze the data collected from the interviews. Several themes emerged from the findings to represent the drivers, enablers and barriers faced by the women entrepreneurs. The women entrepreneurs regard women entrepreneurs’ motivation, the unsatisfied work conditions and the benefits seen from being entrepreneur, as the main driver of their success. The findings also unveiled that the entrepreneurs’ personal characteristics, the family support and the Government support are the main enablers leading the Emirati women entrepreneurs to their success. While the male-dominant culture, the lack of awareness and the lack of training are the major barriers to their success. In conclusion, this research has created a framework that represents a roadmap for the success of women entrepreneurs. The main pillars of this framework consist on the coordination between external factors such as culture, awareness and Government institutions; and internal factors such as personal characteristics, entrepreneurs’ skills, family role and financial availability. This study can be adopted by policy makers and financial institutions in UAE and other Middle Eastern countries to provide a guideline for women entrepreneurs to succeed in their business.
