between social capital and women’s micro-enterprise performance is also assessed. The study employed
a cross-sectional survey design, with simple random sampling, to collect data from 385 women
entrepreneurs in Kelantan. The study spanned from 2014 to 2015 and data were collected between
February and May, 2015. Descriptive statistics, t-test, and Smart PLS were used to analyze the data.
The result of the study, among others, indicates that social capital has a significant positive effect on
