Abstract

Abstract This study uses entrepreneurial competencies as a mediating element to explore the scope and pattern of influence of entrepreneurial orientation (EO) on micro, small and medium entrepreneur (MSME) business success. The study’s target population was small-scale business owners and employees from Rajasthan, India. A sample of 339 small companies was selected through the purposive sampling method. Data were gathered through a survey instrument designed given an appropriate theoretical context. The survey instrument was tested for its proper validity and reliability. Further, we used the structural equation modeling approach to test the hypotheses. Derived findings indicated that the direct impact of entrepreneurial orientation (EO) on firm performance was significant. Additionally, the relationship between EO and MSME performance was partially mediated by entrepreneurial competencies. The conceptual framework and findings offer the MSME sector entrepreneur new directions for positioning their product in customers’ minds and supporting the growth of an innovative and opportunistic mindset. The current research findings help to outperform the competition and take advantage of market opportunities. The organization must be able to correctly match what it delivers to the consumer with the needs and demands of the customer.

创业导向对中小微企业绩效的影响:创业胜任力的中介作用

摘要本研究以创业能力为中介因素，探讨创业取向对中小微创业者创业成功的影响范围和模式。这项研究的目标人群是来自印度拉贾斯坦邦的小企业主和雇员。采用目的抽样法，选取339家中小企业作为样本。数据是通过一种调查仪器收集的，该仪器的设计给出了适当的理论背景。对该测量仪器进行了有效度和信度测试。进一步，我们使用结构方程建模方法来检验假设。结果表明，创业导向对企业绩效的直接影响显著。此外，创业能力在创业绩效与创业绩效之间起到部分中介作用。概念框架和研究结果为中小微企业部门的企业家提供了新的方向，以定位他们的产品在客户心目中的位置，并支持创新和机会主义思维的增长。目前的研究成果有助于超越竞争对手，并利用市场机会。组织必须能够正确地将其交付给消费者的内容与客户的需要和要求相匹配。

Positioned as the premier new research journal within the field of entrepreneurship, ERJ seeks to encourage a scholarly exchange between researchers from any field of study who focus on entrepreneurs, and will include both theoretical and empirical articles, with priority being given to high quality theoretical and empirical papers that have managerial or public policy orientation as well as ramifications for entrepreneurship research overall. Topics: -Research Modeling, Design, and Methods: entrepreneurship theories and conceptualizations, entrepreneurship research methods. -The Individuals-Opportunities-Resources Nexus: nascent entrepreneurs, opportunity recognition, drivers of value creation, and emergence, innovation and technology entrepreneurs, entrepreneurial risk and reward, entrepreneurial cognition and behavior. -Inclusive of Near Environments: family entrepreneurship, networks, teams and alliances, venture capital and angel investor groups, entrepreneurial communities, hubs, clusters and public policy, social entrepreneurship. -Distinct Entrepreneurial Stage or Setting: entrepreneurial growth and strategy, boards, governance and leadership, corporate entrepreneurship, international and emerging market entrepreneurship.
