Abstract

This study explores the impact of social, financial, and institutional factors on women's entrepreneurship in Vietnam, emphasising motivation's role in addressing challenges. Women's entrepreneurship holds economic significance, driving local economies and creating opportunities. Government efforts to support women entrepreneurs have increased, but research on this in developing economies, especially in Vietnam, is limited. To address this gap, our qualitative approach involves in-depth interviews with 28 Vietnamese female entrepreneurs, analysed through thematic analysis and a five-step coding process. Findings reveal key motivations like financial incentives, self-achievement, and social impact. These motivations empower women to overcome financial constraints, skill gaps, limited support, and societal perceptions. This research guides women entrepreneurs to enhance success through learning, persistence, skill development, and self-awareness.
