Business and entrepreneurship are certainly not a monopoly on men. As inhabitants of half the world, women also have the right to engage in the business world. In line with the ideals of emancipation, many women currently have the opportunity to become business partners of men. This research aims to clarify the role of absorptive capacity and entrepreneurial competencies in strengthening women's leadership toward success. This research was conducted in 3 provinces in Indonesia involving 114 women entrepreneurs in the MSME (micro, small, and medium enterprises) category. This research used a structural equation model with the SmartPLS software tool. The results of this research showed that absorptive capacity and entrepreneurial competencies were able to increase women's leadership toward successful entrepreneurship. City and age moderation failed to moderate the effect of women's leadership on successful entrepreneurship. The government on a macro scale needs to pay attention to providing understanding or special training for women MSME business actors who are trying to build their business from scratch. Business challenges for women entrepreneurs are heavier than for men because there are several social, value, and cultural barriers that require special treatment and strategies in developing the potential of women entrepreneurs in Indonesia.
商业和创业当然不是男性的专利。作为世界另一半的人口，女性也有权参与商业世界。符合解放理想的是，许多女性目前有机会成为男性的商业伙伴。本研究旨在阐明吸收能力和创业能力在增强女性领导力以实现成功方面的作用。本研究在印度尼西亚的3个省份进行，涉及114名中小微企业（微型、小型和中型企业）类别的女企业家。本研究使用了带有SmartPLS软件工具的结构方程模型。本研究结果表明，吸收能力和创业能力能够增强女性在成功创业方面的领导力。城市和年龄调节未能调节女性领导力对成功创业的影响。从宏观层面来看，政府需要关注为那些试图白手起家创业的女性中小微企业经营主体提供认知或专项培训。女企业家面临的商业挑战比男性更严峻，因为存在一些社会、价值观和文化障碍，在挖掘印度尼西亚女企业家潜力方面需要特殊对待和策略。
