When Enrichment Isn't Enough: Structural Challenges Hindering Malaysian Women Entrepreneurs Abstract: Women's entrepreneurship plays an important role in driving Malaysia's economic growth; however, female business owners face unique barriers to achieving business stability and navigating cultural role expectations. Based on the COR model, this research examines how Work-to-Family enrichment (WFE) and Family-to-Work enrichment (FWT) affect MSME owner success, focusing on growth intentions and business viability. The analysis uses PLS-SEM to examine a dataset from women entrepreneurs across several categories of MSME business in Malaysia. This analysis demonstrated that neither Work-to-Family enrichment nor Family-to-Work enrichment is a predictive factor of growth intent, due to numerous obstacles and barriers to the continued learning and development of women entrepreneurs. In the next section, these obstacles and recommendations for action will help support women and all other stakeholders (government and NGOs) in creating resources and support systems that can assist women entrepreneurs in sustaining their businesses into the future.
