Abstract

Purpose: The study aims to examine the influence of both advantageous and inadequate entrepreneurial policies on the motivation of female entrepreneurs across three regions in China. It will provide insights into how specific policies like tax relief impact entrepreneurial motivation. The research seeks to inform more effective policy recommendations to support female entrepreneurs better. Design/ Methodology/Approach: 180 female entrepreneurs from the Eastern Coastal, Central, and Western Regions of China were interviewed. The research explores female entrepreneurs’ perceptions of existing policies and identifies the benefits and challenges these policies pose to their motivation and success. Conclusion: This study sheds light on the specific policy needs of female entrepreneurs and highlights the critical areas for improvement in policy formulation, service support, and execution. By understanding these motivations and policy impacts, the findings can guide the development of more effective, targeted policies to support female entrepreneurship in China.
