Abstract

Earnest isimportant among entrepreneurs due to increasing the business performance. Nevertheless, previous literature showed that there are no current study which focused on the earnest nature among entrepreneurs. Thus, this study was aimed; 1) to measure the effectiveness of HRV Biofeedback in increasing the profile of earnest among entrepreneurs and 2) to improve the HRV score among participants through increased the HF coherence. A total of 35 respondents were recruited in this study. The changing nature of Heart Rate variability (HRV) of HF, LF and VLF frequencies was measured through Biofeedback Emwave training techniques. The HRV Biofeedback techniques were usedto determine the emotional state and the balance ability between individual Sympathetic and Parasympathetic systems. The study showed that the technique is able to improve the characteristics of HRV to increase the profile of earnest among women entrepreneurs. Result showed that there was a positive correlation (0.80–1.00) between all the business and HRV. The results indicated that there is a very strong correlation between business data and HRV among the participants. This ensure that EmwaveBiofeedback was effective to be used as an intervention program to improve the nature of earnest among the participants.
