شناسایی عوامل مؤثر برگذار کارآفرینان نوپای زن اجبارگرا به کارآفرینی تثبیتشده*

Women play a crucial role in promoting entrepreneurial activities and enhancing the economic status of society. The entry of women into the business space can be motivated by necessity or opportunity. Necessity women's entrepreneurship, considered unproductive, contrasts with opportunity women's entrepreneurship, which is known as productive entrepreneurship. Businesses led by opportunity female entrepreneurs tend to have a longer and more stable life cycle compared to those led by necessity entrepreneurs. This is due to the former's high entrepreneurial capabilities and access to various human, social, and financial capitals, enabling them to reach the stage of established entrepreneurship. Consequently, they make substantial contributions to economic growth and development. On the other hand, necessity entrepreneurs, facing lower entrepreneurial capabilities and limited access to various forms of capital, often struggle to progress to the established entrepreneurship stage and make comparatively less contribution to the economy. The present study aims to identify the factors influencing the transition of necessity female nascent entrepreneurs to established entrepreneurship. This research is applied in terms of its purpose and exploratory in nature. The statistical population of the research consists of 15 necessity female nascent entrepreneurs and entrepreneurship specialists from Poldakhter city, Lorestan province, who were selected purposefully. Data were collected using a semi-structured interview method, and theme analysis was applied for data analysis. The research findings revealed that financial support, appropriate laws and tax systems, access to empowering centers, technical and commercial infrastructure, formal and informal education, social capital, business management competencies, social status, market freedom, traits, and psychological capital are influential in the transition of necessity female nascent entrepreneurs to established entrepreneursh.
