    Entrepreneurial resources and the well-being of women entrepreneurs in the hospitality industry of Uganda
    (Asia Pacific Journal of Innovation and Entrepreneurship, 2024-09-23) Najjinda, Shamirah; Akileng, Godfrey; Bagire, Vincent; Turyakira, Peter
    Purpose – The purpose of this study is to establish whether all the dimensions of entrepreneurial resources matter in fostering the well-being of women entrepreneurs. Design/methodology/approach – An explanatory research design was used to collect data through a questionnaire survey of 283 women entrepreneurs who benefited from the Uganda Women Entrepreneurship Programme (UWEP). This study used Statistical Package for Social Sciences to analyze the data. Findings – Study results show that social and human capital matter unlike financial capital in boosting the well-being of women entrepreneurs. Originality/value – This study provides maiden empirical evidence on contribution of entrepreneurial resource dimensions in fostering the well-being of women entrepreneurs, unlike extant studies that mostly focused on entrepreneurial resources as a global variable. This was done using evidence from Uganda, a developing context where the government and other stakeholders are still grappling with improving the wellbeing of women as a pathway for social-economic development.
