women empowerment, women entrepreneurship, economic growth of India, problems facing by women entrepreneurs, government schemes for women entrepreneurs,The women consist of around 49.6% (Source: UN, World Population Prospects: The 2017 Revision. New York: United Nations) of global population. Women Entrepreneurship plays a very important role in the development of any nation. The Women entrepreneurship leads to the creation of capital as well led to the generation of many social benefits. However, entrepreneurship is not so popular and common in the developing nations like India. Women entrepreneurs create new jobs for themselves and others and by being different also provide society with different solutions to management, organization and business problems as well as to the exploitation of entrepreneurial opportunities Therefore, sometime will be spent on what needs to be done in order to attain improved and more reliable estimates on the impact of entrepreneurship and in particular women’s entrepreneurship, on economic development. However, they still represent a minority of all entrepreneurs. Through this study, we have tried to throw some lights on problems and opportunities for women in the area of entrepreneurship.

The Psychology of the Successful EntrepreneurIJOAEM
The entrepreneurship development is mainly due to the entrepreneurial motivation. The motivation of entrepreneurs is influenced by the external as well as internal environmental factors. Though there is no research study which reveals the extent to which the entrepreneurs are motivated by these two environments it is found that the entrepreneurial motivation is due to the influence of both the external and internal environmental factors. The psychological behaviors of the entrepreneurs are also equal playing its role while motivating the entrepreneurs, which are also discussed here. This paper also helps entrepreneurs to identify the different business opportunities and growth of the existing business. A real entrepreneur is a person who generally motivated by intrinsic psychological and also economic rewards. He indigenously tries an entrepreneurial venture for his personal satisfaction in work, ego or status. This paper reviews the psychological literature on entrepreneurs. Assessment and generalizations for the entrepreneurs are risky since there is no specific population of entrepreneurs. Psychological characteristics: In the modem days a suitable entrepreneurial culture must be created by developing healthy work environment and modem attitude towards work giving social recognition etc. These factors will provide the psychological stimulus which in turn promotes innovation, inspiration, ethics and values which are essential for successful entrepreneurs. The irrational behaviors of the entrepreneurs are also playing a vital role while motivating the entrepreneurs.

Employees who are highly engaged are the best asset for an organization. Engaged employees are fully committed to their work, interested, and able to focus their attention and inspiration on doing their best. In today's competitive global business environment, companies must compete internationally and focus on creativity and innovation to be leaders in their industries. Both human and non-human assets are crucial for companies to continue operating successfully in the long run, but human capital is becoming more important because employees generate ideas and drive companies forward through their work. There are different types of employee engagement, including attitudinal, behavioral, and trait-based engagement, and engagement is determined by both individual employee characteristics and the organizational environment.

pertinent to re-examine the mechanism of interaction
between environment and personality in entrepreneurial
ecosystem to understand its impact on entrepreneurial
development on MSME perspectives. Perfect interaction of
personality characteristics with institutional variables can
lead towards sustainable development. Significant personality

many folds. An attempt has been made in this paper to

research is of a dynamic and multiregional structure and was
conducted on the target sample based on the longitudinal
study of GEDI (Global Entrepreneurship Development
Institute report) report 2012-2016. The study confirms that
interaction within ecosystem is complex as well as different in
nature for different stage of business. The present study also
explores the intricate situation and developed a suitable
model for each stage of business development. The most
notable part of this study is considering the heteroscedasticity
and autocorrelation of the data. Panel Corrected Standard
Error (PCSE) model has been used in our paper. The analysis
of the present study indicates the positive and negative
interaction variables for each stage of business development
that can be used for policy making considering the present
situation of the country.
