Abstract

This chapter proposed a framework for the interactive effect of social capital, locus of control, and institutional support on entrepreneurial orientation (EO) and micro-enterprise performance discourse lacking in a single study. The study used the unidimensional form of EO of women micro-enterprises in developing novel jobs towards narrowing the economic gaps of people. A quantitative approach is utilised with the help of the G-Power to establish the minimum sample size. The chapter provides significant value on the significance of the antecedent variables on women micro-entrepreneurs' perceived performance. The chapter is anchored on the model of strategic entrepreneurship, organisational learning, and learning organisation theories stressing how their adoption by women micro-entrepreneurs could enhance optimal performance. These findings' implications would offer a vital role on women entrepreneurs' performance. Further, the chapter will provide direction for policymakers and future research to enhance the optimal sustainable performance of women micro-entrepreneurs in Malaysia.
