However, little research has been carried out on the factors that motivate women to start a business. Therefore, the objective of this study is to determine the motivation factors that influence women to start their businesses. Four factors which are the desire for self realisation, status, financial success and autonomy were used. Data was collected from 89 women entrepreneurs in Kota Kinabalu. The findings indicate that there was significant relationship between starting a business with the desire for autonomy. However, desire for self realisation, financial success and status were not significant for women to start their businesses. 2015-01-20T05:10:30Z 2015-01-20T05:10:30Z 2011-02 Article International Journal of Business and Technopreneurship, vol.1 (Issue 1), 2011, pages 123-136 2231-7090 http://ijbt.unimap.edu.my/ http://dspace.unimap.edu.my:80/xmlui/handle/123456789/38602 en School of Business Innovation and Technopreneurship, Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP)
