Abstract

ABSTRACT As global migration continues to define and reshape nations, immigrant entrepreneurs have begun to be increasingly focused. Immigrant entrepreneurs are individuals who set up and run businesses outside their home countries. Little is known about their involvement in small business, as discussions on their business issues, business success, and business prospects in the host countries are not readily available. The extent to which business issues affect immigrant entrepreneurs’ business success and hence their business prospects has not been researched much. The purpose of this research is to assess the mediating effects of business success on the relationship between business issues and business prospects of immigrant entrepreneurs in Malaysia. A quantitative method was used to investigate 316 immigrant entrepreneurs in small retail enterprises in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The findings showed that immigrant entrepreneurs are well prepared for business and have sufficient experience before initiating a business. The analysis of structural paths showed a significant indirect effect of the business success on the relationship between business issues and business prospects. A significant positive direct effect on the business issues and business prospects also emerged. The findings indicated that immigrant entrepreneurs and their business activities can be a source of employment generation and future impetus for economic growth. The study concluded relevant development authorities in Malaysia should integrate necessary supports for immigrant entrepreneurs into the mainstream entrepreneurial development programs.

商业成功对马来西亚移民企业家商业问题和商业前景之间关系的中介作用。

摘要随着全球移民不断定义和重塑国家，移民企业家开始越来越关注移民。移民企业家是指在本国以外建立和经营企业的个人。人们对他们参与小企业的情况知之甚少，因为他们在东道国的商业问题、商业成功和商业前景的讨论并不容易。商业问题在多大程度上影响移民企业家的商业成功，从而影响他们的商业前景，还没有得到太多研究。本研究的目的是评估商业成功对马来西亚移民企业家商业问题和商业前景之间关系的中介作用。采用定量方法对马来西亚吉隆坡316名小型零售企业的移民企业家进行了调查。调查结果表明，移民企业家在创业前已经做好了充分的商业准备，并有足够的经验。对结构路径的分析表明，商业成功对商业问题和商业前景之间的关系具有显著的间接影响。对商业问题和商业前景也产生了重大的积极直接影响。研究结果表明，移民企业家及其商业活动可以成为创造就业机会和未来经济增长动力的来源。该研究得出结论，马来西亚相关发展当局应将对移民企业家的必要支持纳入主流创业发展计划。关键词：移民创业、商业成功和商业前景引用本文件：Pieter Nel和Moha Asri Abdullah，“商业成功对马来西亚移民企业家商业问题和商业前景之间关系的中介作用”，《当代管理研究》，第13卷，第1期，2017年第3-18页。本文件的永久链接：http://dx.doi.org/10.7903/cmr.16380
