Overview

AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This study examines the relationship between depression, self-esteem, and self-efficacy among 110 women entrepreneurs in Herat. Using standardized scales and structural equation modeling, the authors found that depression negatively predicts both self-esteem and self-efficacy, with self-esteem partially mediating this relationship. The resource highlights how depressive symptoms can reduce perceived competence and self-worth, suggesting that interventions targeting self-esteem may improve entrepreneurial resilience.
