Abstract

Purpose: As financial stress considerably hinders the success and sustainability of female entrepreneurs in Nigeria, this is exacerbated by financial illiteracy, which leaves many unable to manage their business finances effectively. In view of the above problem, this study examines how financial literacy affects financial stress among female entrepreneurs in Nigeria. Methods: This study used a descriptive survey research design. The sample consisted of 285 female entrepreneurs selected from a population of 994 female entrepreneurs in Ebonyi State. Primary data were collected using a structured questionnaire. Ordinal regression analysis was conducted to test the hypotheses. Results: The use of financial products and services significantly reduces financial stress (?1 = -0.413391; p-value = 0.0261), budgeting significantly reduces financial stress (?2 = -0.080064; p-value = 0.0364), and emergency fund creation significantly reduces financial stress (?3 = -0.226254; p-value = 0.0094). Conclusion: Financial literacy mitigates the challenges of financial stress by empowering women with the knowledge and skills required to make informed financial decisions. Limitations: The study was limited to female entrepreneurs in Ebonyi State, which may not be representative of other regions or genders. Contributions: This study is useful in the fields of entrepreneurship, finance, and gender studies, particularly for policymakers, financial educators, and organizations that support female entrepreneurs. Recommendation: The Nigerian Ministry of Commerce, Industry, and Business Development should initiate entrepreneurial financial literacy programs incorporating practical tools, such aThe s interactive workshops on budget management, digital budgeting applications, and real-life case studies, to enhance budgeting skills among female entrepreneurs.

Abstract

Purpose: The dearth of innovation not only limits operational efficiency, but also exposes firms to heightened risks of obsolescence and market displacement. Thus, this study ascertains the effect of entrepreneurial innovation on the sustainability of listed industrial goods firms in Nigeria. Research Methodology: A sample size of eight out of 13 listed industrial goods firms was selected. Using the ex-post facto research strategy, secondary data were extracted from firms’ annual reports over a ten-year period (2014-2023). Analyses were performed using descriptive test, linearity test, heteroskedasticity test, autocorrelation test, and ordinary least square regression. Results: It was found that entrepreneurial innovation practice significantly enhances firm sustenance (proxy by operating cash flow ratio) among listed Nigerian industrial goods firms (b = 0.352574; p-value = 0.004759). Conclusions: By fostering a culture of innovation, investing in research and development, and leveraging modern technologies, firms can position themselves for long-term success despite prevailing economic challenges. Limitations: One limitation of this study is the small sample size, as only eight of the 13 listed industrial goods firms in Nigeria were included. Contribution:  This study contributes to the literature by addressing the gap in the existing literature on entrepreneurial innovation in industrial goods firms, particularly publicly listed firms in Nigeria, an area largely overlooked in prior research on SMEs and niche industries. Recommendation: This study recommends that company executives establish dedicated innovation departments or strengthen existing ones to drive continuous improvement in the firm.
