Table 15. Legal and administrative factors that affect the performance of women<br />
entrepreneurs in MSEs<br />
No. Item<br />
1 Legal and administrative factors<br />
Tables 15 above clearly portraits the respondent women entrepreneurs in MSEs have<br />
business assistant and supports from government bodies. The mean score (3.57) and<br />
standard deviations (1.41) shows that these entrepreneurs agree with the issue that they<br />
have business assistants and supports from the concerned government officials.<br />
To the contrary, these women entrepreneurs disagree with the ideas of having network<br />
with administrative bodies and access to policy makers. The mean scores and standard<br />
deviations clearly show their disagreement. That is means of 1.85 and 1.9 and standard<br />
deviations of 1.23 and 1.28 for net work with outsiders and access to policy makers<br />
respectively.<br />
Even though this is the case, agreements are seen among the respondents in relation to the<br />
inexistence of legal, institutional and policy constraints. Similarly they agree on the idea<br />
of borrowing money even without collaterals. The mean (3.53) and (3.6) and the standard<br />
deviations (1.42) and (1.36) for the constraints and collateral matters respectively support<br />
the ideas.<br />
