Hubungan Budaya Bugis Terhadap Akses Finansial Dan Pelatihan Pada Perempuan Wirausaha Di Sulawesi Selatan

Local culture is expected to be related to women entrepreneurs, including access to finance and training activities. Bugis is one of the Indonesian ethnicities that have cultural values related to women's entrepreneurship. This paper aims to: (1) explain the characteristics of women entrepreneurs and Bugis cultural values: reso (hard work), macca (smart and skilled), passibijaang (kinship), and barani (courage to take risks) in women entrepreneurs; and (2) measure the correlations between Bugis cultural values (reso, macca, passibijaang, and barani) and access to finance and training. Primary data were obtained from online surveys and surveys by face-to-face interviews. The sampling technique used simple random sampling with a sample size of 205 respondents. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and correlation with Person's rank. The results show that (1) The reso and macca cultures of entrepreneurial women tend to be high, while the passibijaang and barani cultures of women entrepreneurs tend to be medium; (2) Macca and barani cultures are positively correlated with access to finance. Macca culture is weakly correlated with financial access, while Barani culture is pretty strongly correlated with access to finance. Passibijaang culture is weakly positively correlated with access to training. The paper recommends establishing a community that helps rural women entrepreneurs enhance entrepreneurship knowledge and skills.
