摘要：This study aims to examine the performance of single mother cooperatives in Peninsular Malaysia. Specifically, the study investigates challenges and factors that contribute to the success of single mothers in cooperative business. Despite many opportunities in operating cooperative business and many among them can achieve commendable success in the cooperative business through training and cooperative skills, the results show that the performance of single mother cooperatives has not been satisfactory and need attention from the government. The study was conducted by evaluating 23 single mother cooperative groups. The analysis of the cooperatives’ performance was extracted through detailed interviews with the selected single mothers among the cooperative members. This study found that 61% of the total number of cooperatives in Peninsular Malaysia were inactive while only 39% of the cooperatives were still active. The analysis reveals that the higher number of inactive cooperatives was mainly contributed by three main influential factors; which are limited resources, managerial incompetency, and lack of members participation in single mother cooperatives. The results provide additional information and contribution to the involved parties to improve the single mother cooperatives to meet the economic, social, and cultural needs.
