INTRODUCTION Is Entrepreneurship a choice or a compulsion? This query has raised serious attention among entrepreneurship researchers. In the previous two decades, female business people have pulled in a lot of consideration because of the tremendous effect they have on the economy of each nation, particularly in their capacity to make employments for themselves as well as other people, mitigate neediness, and being major drivers of financial development and improvement (Mari, Poggesi and De Vita, 2016; Kimanzi, 2016). Likewise, the 2015 Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM, 2015) on womenpreneurs set up that ladies business visionaries had limited the gender gap (proportion of female to men taking an interest in enterprise) by 6% since 2012 and Total Early-Stage Entrepreneurship Activity (TEA) rates had expanded by 7%. These insights delineate that there has been an expansion in the quantity of female wandering into business enterprise. Worldwide around one-third of the total entrepreneurs population square measure Women Entrepreneurs. An associate businessperson may be a one who organizes associated manages an enterprise, particularly a business, typically with wide initiative and risk. The quantity of freelance ladies has steady augmented over the past 3 decades. Entrepreneurship as a profession helps people to strengthen the positive impact by dedicating psychological, social control and money independence to entrepreneurs. The results enumerates that through continuous growth and upsurge in understanding the role that psychological method of humans’ plays in action of a goal/ deciding are often solved . Within the context of entrepreneurial behavior, intention of people helps to demonstrate the longer term projections of human behavior which might predict the attainable course of action. Entrepreneurship as a technique to push enterprise may well be prosperous given that an equivalent is punctually imparted and carefully iatrogenic or instigated. Role conflict and motivation are like the two sides of a coin in the daily life of womenpreneurs / women entrepreneurs. Role conflict happens once there square measure incompatible demands placed upon someone specified compliance with each would be tough. Persons expertise role conflict after they notice themselves force in numerous directions as they struggle to reply to the numerous statuses they hold. Interpersonal relations can cause conflict because they are by definition "having an association between two or more people that may range from fleeting to enduring, which can cause that conflict." “Motivation as defined by Fred Luthans, is a process that starts with a physiological or psychological deficiency or need that activates behavior or a drive that is aimed at a goal or incentive.” The definition of motivation by Stephen P. Robbins (2010) is “the willingness to exert high levels of effort toward organizational goals, conditioned by the effort and ability to satisfy some individual need.” “Motivation is the result of processes, internal or external to the individual that arouses enthusiasm and persistence to pursue a certain course of action as defined by Gray and Starke.” Inferred from the definitions, currently motivation is also outlined as one’s disposition to exert high level of efforts towards the accomplishment of goal or fulfillment of would like. This http://www.iaeme.com/IJCIET/index.asp 45 editor@iaeme.com Dr. Ipseeta Satpathy, Dr. B.C.M. Patnaik, Devesh Rath article highlights the different aspects of Role Conflict and Motivational factors in Womenpreneurs / Women Entrepreneurs which intends towards an imbalance work life balance between professional and personal life owing to prospects and the future challenges. The paper is sorted out as pursues: a refreshed writing audit is first introduced; the technique of the exact investigation and the outcomes are then represented; at long last, the ramifications of the discoveries just as the restrictions of the examination are talked about and headings for further research are recommended. 2. OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY • To examine the challenges and motivating factors among civil, construction, real estate, architect womenpreneurs. • To examine the factors impacting role conflict and work life balance in womenpreneurs. • To examine the performance and motivational factors in womenpreneurs. 3. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY The study is predicated on the secondary information. During this regard numerous libraries visited and a few on-line journals were conjointly reviewed during this direction. 3.1. Literature Related to Challenges and Motivating Factors in Civil, Construction, Real Estate, Architect Womenpreneurs Ignasi Brunet Icart and Alejandro Pizzi et al (2013) in their study on Spain has inferred about the gender differences based on social imagination owing to natural and biological conditions. Moreover, they have also emphasized on the multiple role sand role conflicts among women which reduces their chances to enter into construction and real estate sectors as women entrepreneurs and in return this sector dominates as a male oriented sector. The four intangible resources of a women entrepreneur in any field like construction, real estate, chemical etc which leads to business success among them were studied by Crystal X. Jiang, Monica A. Zimmerman, Grace Chun Guo et al (2012). The parameters are human, social competence, reputational factor. Souha R. Ezzedeen and Jelena Zikic (2012) concentrates found female business folks / women entrepreneurs tough multi-layered tested, starting from a couple of sources in their Entrepreneurial girls in high innovation condition, and coming back from verifiable personal identity affiliations that compare enterprise and innovation with men and manfulness. At the hierarchal dimension, females’ tough restriction from male subordinates and also faces hindrances with male and feminine colleagues. At the business level, girls were tested by differentials in male-female execution measures, an absence of feminine smart examples, and solid challenge with male-possessed organizations. They to boot tough obstruction with relevancy totally different trade partners as well as customers, money lenders, and companions. The social dimension is battled by them with weights to regulate to their personal identity character and to commit themselves to either work or family. The same issues are encountered in the real estate, construction and civil engineering field by Canadian women entrepreneurs. Prof. Dr. S.W.J. Lamberts (2005) investigation is non randomized empirical study which utilizes a few example in Dutch real estate association. The investigation does anyway point at the presence of gender contrasts, specifically concerning the inspiration for startup, experience, the utilization of a guide, way to enterprise, development introduction and initiative. An intriguing finding between male and female depicts male business people every now and again were associated with the overtaking of the land business they recently worked for, feminine business visionaries were guaranteed to go in business. It seems that male enterprise within the land business is opportunity-driven, as they do not become severally utilized at their terribly http://www.iaeme.com/IJCIET/index.asp 46 editor@iaeme.com Challenges and Motivational Factors among Womenpreneurs in Construction and Architecture Sectors – An Empirical Study own drive, whereas feminine commerce is a lot of want driven as girls don't seem to be offered the prospect to assume management over a group up business and go in business. The expansion system of male land operators may likewise be (incompletely) clarified by the bigger normal size of their organizations. While female business visionaries appear to concentrate more on coherence than on development, male business visionaries appear to be progressively proactive concerning development, concentrating on (future) chances of development. The motivation behind the exploratory examination by Leslie Patricia Roberts (1998) was to research the affiliation between six mentalities toward enterprise: 1) accomplishment in business, 2) seen individual control of business results, 3) confidence in business, 4) inclination for development in business, 5) inclination for business development in work and 6) inclination for business development in income; and four sorts of pioneering conduct I) full-time locally established business enterprise, ii) low maintenance locally situated business, iii) non-locally situated (business) business enterprise, and iv) non-business (clerical, non-the board work). Golshan Javadian and Robert P. Singh (2012) analyzed the impact of sexual orientations generalizations, social conventions, self-efficacy and hazard taking area unit among the usually looked into subjects in ladies' business / girls entrepreneurs. It gives the idea that negative generalizations and social obstructions negatively affect effective Iranian business people. In any case, individual inward factors, with hazard adverseness and low self-efficacy being ordinarily viewed as hindrances for ladies in the Western world which may not be obstructions for Iranian ladies regarding enterprise. Iranian ladies' abnormal state of self-efficacy and their hazard taking capacities makes it conceivable components for progress for the business people. In addition the social and the customary limits are the negative generalizations are the primary boundaries these ladies need to survive. However, it’s conjointly inferred that because of the on top of factors the participation of ladies entrepreneurs in engineering science sector is restricted and limiting it majorly as male dominated sectors. A Romanian societal study on entrepreneurship mentality, female entrepreneurs' personal characteristics /competences and motivation was done by Violeta Sima, Ileana Georgiana Gheorghe, Augustin Mitu et al (2017). The main challenges in LIMO implementation in Romania with regards to female mentality and work based on Romanian labour market, female employment, management and women entrepreneurs was observed. In all sectors like construction, civil, real estate, manufacturing, tourism, service etc the efficiency of decision making of women in comparison to male is low. The women entrepreneurs are found to be hard working, open mentality to challenges, team work, better environmental conditions, good negotiators etc. The principle difficulties of the task were found to be drawing ladies of all age groups, fortifying women business acumen, tech savvy with well versed in social media, reinforcing their self assurance. Federico Pablo, Antonio Garcia and Jose Luis Crespo et al (2014) attempted to comprehend issues on ladies' practices in innovative movement, business acumen, recognizing the distinctions in contrast with men. The primary points broke down show comparative findings in connection to attributes and inspirations, initiative style, key decision, deterrents and results. Innovative ladies studies results an assortment of segments reflecting the economy's normal; and customarily female oriented business like selected services and informal sectors rather listing out a least possibility of existence in core sectors like civil, construction, real estate, manufacturing etc. Male and female purposes behind progress and survival are observed to be significantly the equivalent, however close to home qualities and inspirations were observed to appear as something else. Among the distinctions discovered, it merits featuring the measure of time given by enterprising ladies to family tasks, the higher extent of ladies in the staff they utilize, and their pledge to item and administration advancement. It moreover recommends new methodologies in approaches went for advancing the section of ladies in pioneering move promise to advancement in merchandise and enterprises. Joseph Farhat & Naranchimeg http://www.iaeme.com/IJCIET/index.asp 47 editor@iaeme.com Dr. Ipseeta Satpathy, Dr. B.C.M. Patnaik, Devesh Rath Mijid et al (2018) studies enumerates an unmistakable probability that the execution estimates utilized in these examinations have neglected to control for the dimension of heterogeneity that might be inalienable in the organizations which depends on past research proposing the less achievement rate of female-claimed firms in contrast with male possessed firms. Likewise, it's determined that female-had firms have a comparative rate of survival as their men-asserted accomplices and that the advancement rate appeared ladies-guaranteed associations with respect to components, for instance, total assets, work, advantage, and arrangements, is the thing that could be contrasted with men-possessed firms. There is nonattendance of any gender gaps as far as business execution. Moreover, the outcomes showed that, while the organizations that are begun by ladies begin littler and remain littler, they don't fall behind those begun by guys as far as business execution. Be that as it may, it spreads a message for giving better chances, inspiration, and self-assurance among ladies to assemble a superior endeavor in contrast with their male partners. In addition study also shows less women entrepreneurs’ involvement in civil, construction, real estate sector of business. Valerie Caven and Ani Raiden (2010) studies relates to research the degree extent of job life balance activities work in the design calling along with requirements addressable of utilization. The information uncovers critical worries over keeping up a tasteful work-life balance inside the calling. Most workers inviting work-life balance was seen inside nearby expert utilized modelers however this included some significant pitfalls of a less innovative and littler occupations. The examination depends on a two-crease investigation: (i) if the current discussions on job life balance induces to a great extent overlooked the business setting this is a critical variable in building up and keeping up work-life balance inside [some] proficient occupations, for example, design (ii) based on an industrial cultural seismic move required to be a timely addressable to issues related to the board, and in context to the business work profile it’s hard to accomplish the set goals. 3.2. Literature Related To Role Conflict and Work Life Balance in Womenpreneurs Sara Poggesi & Michela Mari & Luisa De Vita et al (2017) studied that in light of the bidimensional conceptualization of work-family conflict (WFC), recognizing work family impedance and family obstruction with work, examination checks an all-encompassing model of the WFC which considers either within region impacts or the cross-space effects of work and family stressors on work family impedance and family obstruction with work experienced by womenpreneurs. In addition, throughout late years (20 years), academic thought towards workfamily struggle (WFS) issues has been continually getting to be because of the money related changes occurring in the open eye. Neneh Brownhilder Ngek et al (2018) describes the outcomes affirmed the negative effect of family-work conflict (FWC) on the execution of ladies possessed organizations. A quantitative research method with a descriptive research design by Olawale Fatoki et al (2017) demonstrated that migrant business visionaries have an abnormal state of WLC. Ladies business visionaries have a more elevated amount of WLC contrasted with male business visionaries. Moreover, migrant business people should set objectives that consolidate both work and life exercises to diminish WLC. The booking of work and life exercises by business visionaries is imperative and it should set practical desires for what can be accomplished in multi day particularly at work. Thus, this will empower business visionaries not to make irrational requests on themselves rather appoint the work to representatives with the basic goal that business people can possess the energy for different exercises. In spite of the fact that there is a solid assortment of existing exploration on ladies' vocation life advancement and on ladies' business enterprise/ women entrepreneurs, there is an absence of comprehension of the particular encounters of mother business people/ mother entrepreneurs as described by Rebecca E. Hudson Breen, Susan L. Tasker, Bryan Hiebert et al (2017). The center http://www.iaeme.com/IJCIET/index.asp 48 editor@iaeme.com Challenges and Motivational Factors among Womenpreneurs in Construction and Architecture Sectors – An Empirical Study classification "Continuing onward" delineates a recursive fuelled seven essential influential parameters as an essential social procedure namely feeling upheld, settling on decisions, adjusting innovatively, recalling the push, recollecting the draw, imagining the future, and living my qualities. The way toward propping up is a versatile and recursive procedure of settling on decisions and adjusting imaginatively, which is bolstered and continued through inclination upheld and having a feeling of living one's qualities. Emma Hagqvist, Susanna Toivanen, Claudia Bernhard-Oettel (2018) expounds on the association with work meddling with personal life and personal life meddling with work among autonomously utilized individuals across over European countries. Sexual orientation is an imperative hazard parameter in encountering payment of work meddling to personal life, personal life meddling with work payment, and how obstruction identifies with prosperity, on both an individual and a logical dimension. Gender equality contrasts to first delineated reasons for periodical requests and homely youngsters’ identification with impedance, which moreover, explains the reasons for obstruction identification with prosperity. In the idea of doing gender, these outcomes propose that manliness and womanliness appear to be increasingly express among independently employed people. Meltem Ince Yenilmez (2018) examined the looks at female entrepreneurs who run and work organizations and new businesses in two unique urban areas in Turkey; Istanbul and Izmir. In outline women entrepreneurs in these two urban areas, start their organizations all alone. At long last, on the rundown, lower dimensions of family-work clashes in this investigation uncovers that female business people normally have a solid family emotionally supportive network and they had practical house help available to help. Different contemplations ought to be given to the distinction in economies. This correlation is required by the way that the contrasts among people, as their unmistakable styles of the executives, or the way that men will in general last longer as business visionaries than ladies may be. In addition the social issues that either debilitates or empowers women entrepreneurs / female business visionaries, should be tended to as culture varies starting with one society then onto the next among created or creating nations of the world. Sucheta Agarwal and Usha Lenka et al (2015) studied the work-life parity of ladies business people/ women entrepreneurs. Business enterprise has risen as a worldwide idea and contributed for financial improvement of the nation based on skills of business visionaries for accomplishment enterprise creation or entrepreneurship considering as an unmistakable field in the aggressive business world. Absence of appropriate direction, government preparing, specialized learning, family backing, and poor system are obstructions in their enterprising endeavor. Ladies endeavor to keep up work-life balance through their innovative aptitudes like powerful correspondence, sorting out, arranging, driving and assigning abilities. Anil Boz Semerci, Thierry Volery et al (2017) described the child rearing worry of business visionaries / entrepreneurs. The outcomes uncover that social help is a solid indicator of child rearing pressure and that there is an immediate impact between child rearing pressure and family obstruction to work. In context to difficulties on child rearing, numerous business visionaries face consistent strain accomplishes a positive business outcome adventure also buckle down, for extended periods of time. In this manner, a superior comprehension of business visionaries' child rearing jobs and stress can reveal some insight into the difficulties looked without anyone else utilized people and adds to the professional conduct and vocation improvement writing and useful encounters. Aizzat Mohd. Nasurdin, Noor Hazlina Ahmad, Siti Rohaida Mohamed Zainal et al (2013), examination tried for gender equality contrasts among Malaysian entrepreneurs with respect to the four elements of work-family balance a) characterize work-family balance, (b) audit early and contemporary models of work-family balance, (c) survey the significant causes and results of work-family parity, and (d) investigate procedures for advancing work-family balance among Malaysian entrepreneurs. It gives the idea that encounters of contention and assistance did not http://www.iaeme.com/IJCIET/index.asp 49 editor@iaeme.com Dr. Ipseeta Satpathy, Dr. B.C.M. Patnaik, Devesh Rath fit in with the conventional gender role viewpoint as theorized. Despite the fact that the encounters related with work-family issues have been speculated to be diverse for hitched male and female business people inside the Malaysian setting, the outcomes demonstrated no dissimilarities. 3.3. Literature Related to Performance and Motivational Factors in Womenpreneurs Lois M. Shelton et al (2006) studied that the existing hypothesis is reached out to anticipate the adequacy of procedures for fundamentally lessening work to family strife through controlling jobs, provides remarkable quality related to work and family jobs which assets accessible to women business visionary. A calculated casing work dependent on the builds of job inclusion and job strife is utilized to analyze whether high-development female business people pick increasingly proper procedures for lessening work– family struggle than their less fruitful partners. The possible suggestive measures catering to the three fundamental procedures for controlling roles likely (1) job disposal; (2) job decrease; and (3) job sharing has been identified. Consequently, the high inescapability of gathering building and participative organization practices found in women had associations may be driven by the prerequisite for female business visionaries to manage work– family conflicts similarly as innate characteristics or socialization. Rincy V. Mathew and N. Panchanatham et al (2011) studies elaborates that in India, business has customarily been viewed as a male privilege. This examination revealed that activity over-load, subordinate thought issues, nature of prosperity, issues in time the load up and nonattendance of fitting social help are the main issue affecting the adjusting work and life of women agents in India. Also, regardless of the way that most by a long shot of the representatives dissected in this examination encounters adjusting work and life issues, there are tremendous differences in the element of adjusting work and life issues looked by the changed classes of women businessmen. Michela Mari and Sara Poggesi et al (2015) illustrated a study within Italy, based on influence of family setting by ladies firms' execution in contextualizing of examination. By utilizing ordinal relapses, the impact of three elements of the family setting on female firms' execution, to be specific: the inspirations to begin and enterprise by the help from the family for enterprise set up; components accomplishing a reasonable harmony among life in relation to work and family has been illustrated. By and large, the outcomes offer significant help for the supposition that female entrepreneurs profit by being maneuvered through undertaking, via explicit family connections or networking also furthermore through chose instruments adjusting life in work and family, accordingly the addition demonstrated the logic behind a solid the connection among company's exhibition and the home setting for ladies. The studies on gender gap enterprises in Poland by Paweł Ziemiański (2018) focuses on the investigation to break down whether the experience of working in a relative's business is connected diversely to the surveyed probabilities of people beginning their own new pursuit. Ladies who have helped in a family-possessed business evaluate their likelihood of going into business as higher than ladies without such experience do yet it doesn't impact them as much as it impacts men. This implies probably a portion of the components that can be required to can possibly influence the pioneering choices of individuals who gain experience when working in a privately-owned company may lesser affect ladies than men. A study in Bosnia and Herzegovina by Munira Sestic, Sabina Ibrahimagic (2015) illustrated through the financial strengthening of ladies can prompt better development, more prominent intensity and better human advancement. Financial strengthening of ladies through enterprise and private company offers an enormous space for the presentation genuine changes in their lives. Thus, independent work has moved toward becoming for some ladies this is their solitary possibility for paid work. In the meantime, ladies who undergone up against with fewer chances to go into business because of explicit gender boundaries in access to data, encouraging http://www.iaeme.com/IJCIET/index.asp 50 editor@iaeme.com Challenges and Motivational Factors among Womenpreneurs in Construction and Architecture Sectors – An Empirical Study groups of people and insurance. An Israeli entrepreneurs study by Dafna Kariv et al (2008) described this examination which builds up an imaginative standpoint for an examination of the connection between business people's pressure evaluated as constructive or pessimistic and their business' money related execution, which turnover of businesses owned by men and businesses owned by women. In light of duo overwhelming speculations, the resource oriented sight in context to pressure examination hypothesis, which guesses that proprietors' pressure speaks to the capabilities they have and use to deal with their organizations for elite. A various leveled relapse developed optimistic pressure towards positivity which helps in business' trigger to turnover thereby blocking the negative pressure gender based communications through societal help with job hustle and tussle compounded to the basic impacts of stress factor for achieving enterprise turnover solely. Taking everything into account, the ramifications of the investigations on businesses owned by men and businesses owned by women money related execution analyzes; the outcomes to be reevaluated which demonstrates the board idea of highperforming businesses owned by men in respect to businesses owned by women. 4. SCOPE FOR FUTURE STUDY • A study on the different challenges and motivation factors among civil, construction, real estate, architect womenpreneurs. • A study on prospects leading towards encouragement of more womenpreneurs in the field of civil, construction, real estate, architect narrowing the gap of male intensive factor related to the sector. • A comparative study on role conflict, work life balance and performance can be done between menpreneurs (male entrepreneurs) & womenpreneurs (female entrepreneurs) in the state of Odisha. • A detailed study on impact of different government schemes, facilities, support from financial institutions leading towards better performance and motivation among entrepreneurs. • A complete examination on the effects of social inclusion towards entrepreneurship (male and female). 5. CONCLUSIONS Thus from the following literature review its seen that there are numerous elements which urges ladies to enter in this field of entrepreneurship uniquely to gain cash, monetary help to family, freedom and so forth yet at the same time there are numerous obstacles before them like continuing in market, capital, gender biasness, and role conflict, work life balance. As she plays a multiple roles like existing scenario of venture, personal life, professional life, family life, child parenting life. This leads to psychological stress and different health hazards. Normally they begin their business after their begin achieving school. Ladies face more role conflict then men entrepreneurs as social desire is more prominent for them. Life partner's along with family, in-laws, friends and relatives help is an incredible quality for them. Dependency in organizing capital is major ordeal for another business person. Also, to maintain a business she should have a decent systems administration. Next to bunches of imperatives on the off chance that she get support from her family and particularly from her mate it will assist her parcel with maintaining her work life balance. However, the different motivating factors of independent life style, own identity, extra financial benefit, ecosystem creation, self motivation leads to pursue womenpreneurship. In addition different future steps should be incorporated to encourage more womenpreneurs in the field of civil, construction, real estate; architect thereby narrowing the gap of mindset related male intensive factor related to the sector. http://www.iaeme.com/IJCIET/index.asp 51 editor@iaeme.com Dr. Ipseeta Satpathy, Dr. B.C.M.
