PurposeThe purpose of this study is to conceptualize, develop and validate a scale reflecting performance dimensions of women entrepreneurs. The study intends to address the important aspects of women entrepreneur such as identifying factors influencing performance of women entrepreneur in emerging economies including India, and to develop a reliable and valid scale for measuring performance from women entrepreneurs’ perspective, which will help to explain the phenomena of entrepreneurship among women by using a holistic approach.Design/methodology/approachIn-depth literature reviews were conducted to identify manifest item measuring the latent scale dimensions. Semi-structured interview with women entrepreneurs also contributed toward item generation. A total of 1,032 valid and usable questionnaires were used for the final statistical data analysis.

These dimensions are business environment, motivation (pull/push), training and skill development, networking and market information, socio–cultural and financial. Dimensions are reflecting perception of women entrepreneurs on performance. Psychometrically properties of the proposed scale were tested and the model fitness was established through CFA.Research limitations/implicationsThe proposed scale will be beneficial for both existing and nascent entrepreneurs toward gaining awareness regarding what accounts for their performance enhancement in the respective ventures undertaken. At the same time, the finding carries implications for regulatory bodies and policymakers as well, which are engaged in drafting guidelines catering to the development of women entrepreneurship in respective economies.Originality/valueThe authors believe that the proposed scale offers superior ability to explain factors that affect the performance of women entrepreneurs in emerging economies such as India.

This paper focuses on our work as a performance-enhancement team of three providing services to the USA Women’s National Volleyball Team. We direct our efforts to both coaches and players to achieve systemic, self-sustaining improvements in team performance, with a secondary emphasis on services to individuals. To accomplish these goals we have provided seven primary services: (a) measurement of player and coach behavior, (b) improvement of player skill development activities, (c) enhancement of player performance, (d) enhancement of coach performance, (e) planning and management consultation, and (f) fund raising. We have received exemplary support for and cooperation with our efforts from coaches as well as players and have observed substantial desired changes in player and coach performance over the 1988 quadrennium.
