Abstract
Indonesia faces challenges in prosperity, particularly regarding gender gaps, despite increasing female entrepreneurship. Many women own businesses, but their potential remains underutilized. This study aims to explore the performance of women micro-business owners in Bandung from an Islamic perspective, focusing on the impact of competence, Islamic work ethic, family support, and the actualization of managerial roles. The research is grounded in Albert Bandura's Social Learning Theory, which emphasizes learning through observation, imitation, and modeling. A quantitative descriptive approach was used, employing Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) for analysis. The study sampled 236 women micro-business owners in Bandung. The findings reveal that Islamic competence and work ethic positively and significantly influence performance, while family support does not have a positive impact. Furthermore, the actualization of managerial roles significantly moderates the relationship between competence, family support, and Islamic work ethic with business performance. This suggests that while Islamic values play a crucial role in enhancing business performance, the role of family support is less impactful unless coupled with effective managerial practices. Overall, the study provides valuable insights into how Islamic principles and managerial roles can contribute to the success of women entrepreneurs in Indonesia.
