Abstract

This study examines the effect of self-efficacy on women's entrepreneurial interest with the mediating role of entrepreneurial knowledge in Kairatu Village, West Seram Regency. Using SEM-PLS with 45 female entrepreneur respondents, the results show that self-efficacy significantly influences both entrepreneurial interest and entrepreneurial knowledge. Entrepreneurial knowledge also significantly affects entrepreneurial interest and serves as a full mediator between self-efficacy and entrepreneurial interest. These findings suggest that enhancing women's entrepreneurial interest in rural areas requires a holistic approach integrating self-confidence strengthening, entrepreneurial knowledge development, and local context-based empowerment.
