Abstract

Studies on women entrepreneurs remain limited as compared to their men counterparts. Furthermore, existing literature mainly emphasizes on the conventional issue of business performance measured through financial indicators. To advance, this research embarks to examine the well-being and ethical values of women entrepreneurs in Malaysia. Drawing on data from the World Values Survey wave 7 (2017-2020), I also compare the condition of in Malaysia with five other ASEAN countries. In general, I found that women entrepreneurs in Malaysia exhibit low level of well-being particularly in term of happiness, and life and financial satisfaction. Also, they are perceived moderately ethical towards cheating on taxes and accepting a bribe. Overall, this research contributes to shed light on a novel perspective of entrepreneurship particularly among women.
