dc.description.abstractThe topic of women entrepreneurs is of increasing interest to educators, businesspeople and government officials. Research findings have shown a high positive correlation between the level of national women's entrepreneurial activity and growth in GDP, suggesting that countries that are successful in promoting entrepreneurship among women could experience a positive impact on economic growth rates. Moreover, research shows that the unique background factors, personality traits and resource acquisition and management skills of women entrepreneurs play a major role in the success and growth of their ventures. The aim of the present study was to determine whether or not the background, personality traits and resource acquisition and management abilities of the Lebanese women entrepreneurs affect the growth of their business and contribute to the growth of the economy. For this purpose, 100 women entrepreneurs were selected mainly from Beirut area and surveyed through the administration of a questionnaire (See Appendix A). The analysis of data was made using statistical techniques such as factor analysis, independent samples T-test, one way ANOVA and regression analysis. The results revealed that some background factors had an effect on business and economic growth and some did not. Moreover, personality traits and the ability to acquire and manage resources have significant impact on both business and economic growth.
