Abstract

The aim of the article is the quantification of the effect size of business risks in the context of small and medium-sized enterprises’ (SMEs) sustainability according to gender. Data collection was carried out in the period 12/2022–01/2023 using the CAWI methodology. 1,090 owners and managers from the business environment of the SME segment participated in the research in the Visegrad group countries. Structural equation modelling (SEM) was implemented on the evaluation of the hypotheses of research. The statistical software IBM SPSS Statistics and AMOS vs. 28 were used in the data analytics. The management of business risks, just like market, financial and personnel risks, has a strong positive impact on the sustainable development of SMEs. Personnel risk management is the most important determinant which has a strong positive impact on the sustainable development of SMEs with male entrepreneurs. Financial risk management has a medium positive effect on the sustainable development of SMEs for female entrepreneurs. The research findings illustrate the important role for key individuals in national development and for strategic documents dealing with how to help the SME segment.

所有者和管理者对中小企业可持续发展的商业风险的看法：性别是否重要？

本文旨在根据性别对中小型企业（SMEs）可持续性背景下的商业风险影响大小进行量化。采用 CAWI 方法，在 2022 年 12 月至 2023 年 1 月期间进行了数据收集。来自维舍格勒集团国家中小企业经营环境的 1,090 名所有者和管理者参与了研究。对研究假设的评估采用了结构方程模型（SEM）。数据分析使用了 IBM SPSS Statistics 和 AMOS vs. 28 统计软件。企业风险管理，就像市场、财务和人事风险一样，对中小企业的可持续发展有很大的积极影响。人事风险管理是最重要的决定因素，对有男性创业者的中小企业的可持续发展有很大的积极影响。财务风险管理对女性创业者的中小企业可持续发展具有中等程度的积极影响。研究结果说明了关键人物在国家发展中的重要作用，也说明了有关如何帮助中小企业的战略文件的重要作用。
