📄 Abstract
This study examines the influence of performance capacity on occupational engagement and business performance among women entrepreneurs. Performance capacity was conceptualized through four dimensions: physical capacity, cognitive capacity, emotional capacity, and communication skills. A descriptive research design was adopted, and primary data were collected from women entrepreneurs using a structured questionnaire. Path analysis was employed to examine the relationships among the study variables. The findings reveal that physical capacity, emotional capacity, and communication skills have significant positive effects on occupational engagement, while cognitive capacity also exerts a significant but comparatively weaker influence. The results further indicate that cognitive capacity has the strongest positive influence on business performance, followed by physical capacity, emotional capacity, and communication skills. In addition, occupational engagement significantly contributes to business performance, demonstrating its mediating role in translating entrepreneurial capabilities into improved business outcomes. The study concludes that strengthening women entrepreneurs' physical endurance, cognitive abilities, emotional resilience, and communication competence enhances occupational engagement, which subsequently improves business performance. These findings provide valuable implications for policymakers, entrepreneurship development institutions, and training organizations in designing capacity-building programs that foster sustainable entrepreneurial success among women entrepreneurs.
