Examining motivational factors and challenges of ethnic female entrepreneurs: Lession learnt from the UK

(Title)

Abstract

Ethnic female entrepreneurship (EFE) has become a popular concept in modern multi-cultural society. This research paper seeks to offer an overview of the factors that motivate ethnic females to start a business in the UK. The present paper addresses the challenges faced by EFE and the strategies used to overcome them. Based on 12 interviews with EFE in the London and Leeds area. The purpose of this research was to identify differences in motivational factors across different female ethnic groups in their decision to start a business, specifically in the UK. Through qualitative thematic analysis several themes were identified as the key motivational factors for these women. The themes were as follows: the desire to help their ethnic community, personal values, self-achievement, financial rewards, market opportunity and societal pressures. Additionally, this paper seeks to identify strategies EFE use in order to overcome and cope with the challenges they face during the start-up process. The main challenges that EFE faced as a minority in the UK were found to be the language barrier and workplace discrimination. It was concluded that women are motivated by both push and pull factors, and that the challenges they faced in the workplace, or as a new arrival in the country contributed to their desire to start a business. This study underscores the need for more research into EFE’ challenges and perhaps a greater insight into how they are able to overcome these. Understanding the motivations and challenges faced by EFE when starting a business in the UK has important ramifications for aspiring female entrepreneurs, academics and policy makers in order to encourage entrepreneurship.
