Fostering Economic Development Through Women's Leadership and Organizational Ambidexterity: A Path to Superior Business Performance

In the business world, organizational ambidexterity (OA) is becoming more and more
important, particularly in women-led SMEs. The purpose of this study is to ascertain how
organizational ambidexterity mediates the impact of female leadership on the financial
performance of women-led SMEs. The study's population consisted of 190 female SME owners
in Indonesia, and SEM PLS was used to analyze the data. The results of the study demonstrate
that OA can mediate the impact of female leadership on business success, that OA influences
OA, and that both OA and female leadership have an impact on business performance. The
association between female leadership and the business success of female SME actors is
strengthened by organizational ambidexterity, which functions as an intervening variable.
Female SME leaders can boost competitiveness and sustainable business growth by utilizing
current resources and exploring new opportunities. As a result, the creation of OA is one of
the most important tactics for assisting the advancement of women-led SMEs in Indonesia.
