Finally, self-motivation also has a significant positive influence on marketing performance. Conclusion: This study illuminates the pivotal roles of innovation orientation, self-motivation, and marketing communication in bolstering the marketing performance of women entrepreneurs in micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs).
