Entrepreneurial mothers (mompreneurs) fulfill domestic responsibilities while managing micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) to support household finances. Dual-role demands may strain psychological well-being and are associated with business performance. This study examined the relationship between psychological well-being (PWB) and entrepreneurial performance (EP) among mothers who run MSMEs in Bandung City, Indonesia. A quantitative cross-sectional correlational design was applied to 86 mompreneurs recruited through convenience sampling. PWB was measured with the 42-item Ryff’s Psychological Well-Being Scale ( ) and EP with the 12-item Entrepreneurial Performance Questionnaire ( ). Both variables were normally distributed. Pearson correlation indicated a significant positive association between PWB and EP ( , p < 0.01). Comparative analyses showed PWB differences by educational attainment and differences in both PWB and EP by monthly business income. The findings are associational and indicate that higher psychological well-being is related to better entrepreneurial performance. MSME mentoring for women should treat psychological health as part of a strategy to improve business performance.
