Abstract

Strategic entrepreneurship behaviors enhance business performance and sustainability in Turkish SMEs by fostering innovation and leveraging competitive intensity for sustained growth. Employing strategic leadership theory, this study examines the effect of strategic entrepreneurial behaviors on business performance through the mediation role of business model innovation (BMI) and the moderation effect of competitive intensity. A quantitative approach was used, and data from 313 managers and business owners in Turkish small and medium enterprises (SMEs) were collected using a structured questionnaire. The results have shown that strategic entrepreneurial behavior significantly and positively impacts business performance and business model innovation. Business model innovation, in turn, positively affects business performance. Competitive intensity moderates the relationship between strategic entrepreneurial behavior and business model innovation, strengthening it under higher competitive pressure levels. However, competitive intensity does not moderate the direct link between strategic entrepreneurial behavior and business performance. At higher levels of competitive intensity, the conditional indirect effect of strategic entrepreneurial behavior on business performance through business model innovation becomes more prominent. The findings of this study offer actionable insights for enhancing SME performance through strategic entrepreneurship, innovative business models, and competitive strategy adaptation.

战略性创业行为对土耳其中小企业经营业绩的影响：商业模式创新和竞争强度的作用

战略创业行为可通过促进创新和利用竞争强度实现持续增长，从而提高土耳其中小企业的业务绩效和可持续性。本研究运用战略领导力理论，通过商业模式创新（BMI）的中介作用和竞争强度的调节作用，探讨战略创业行为对企业绩效的影响。研究采用定量方法，通过结构化问卷收集了 313 名土耳其中小企业经理和企业主的数据。结果表明，战略性创业行为对企业绩效和商业模式创新有显著的积极影响。反过来，商业模式创新也会对企业绩效产生积极影响。竞争强度调节了战略创业行为与商业模式创新之间的关系，在较高的竞争压力水平下加强了这种关系。然而，竞争强度并不能调节战略创业行为与企业绩效之间的直接联系。在竞争强度较高的情况下，战略创业行为通过商业模式创新对企业绩效的有条件间接影响变得更加突出。本研究的结论为通过战略创业、创新商业模式和竞争战略调整提高中小企业绩效提供了可操作的见解。
