Female Entrepreneurship Challenges in Iran’s Co-Operative Sector

Abstract:

In this study existing studies on entrepreneurial knowledge were reviewed and their limitations were identified. Data were collected through a survey, using a convenience sample of 438 female employees of co-operative sector in Iran. Our questionnaire was containing questions about entrepreneurship barriers that collected from literature review and 40 hours interview with women entrepreneurs in co-operative sector. Research findings indicate that the seven categories of barriers are effective on entrepreneurship of female employees. Also, the results of analysis of variance showed that the effectiveness of the seven categories of barriers to entrepreneurship of female employees is different. So, the use of AHP techniques to determine the significance of each of the barriers showed that infrastructure barriers have the maximum impact and cultural barriers have minimal impact on female employee’s tendency toward entrepreneurship activities.
