Capabilities and Opportunities: Linking Knowledge Management Practices of Textile-Based SMEs on Sustainable Entrepreneurship and Organizational Performance in China

Abstract

Most researchers hold the role of dynamic capability (DC) as a key factor of achieving sustainable entrepreneurship performance (SEP) and Organizational Performance (OP) with the competitive advantage of knowledge management practices (KMPs). However, the effects of KMPs with SEP and OP are still under discussion. Moreover, the ambidexterity view, exploring the direct impact of KMPs mediated by dynamic capabilities (DC), gives evidence of sustainable entrepreneurship and organizational performance. Measuring the gathered data of 480 textile-based SME entrepreneurs and organizations through structural equation modeling, the study’s finding shows that KMPs positively and significantly influence sustainable entrepreneurship and organizational performance. Furthermore, this study explores the partial mediation of dynamic capabilities among KMPs with SEP and organization performance. At the same time, opportunity recognition is a moderator that strengthens the relationship between DCs with sustainable entrepreneurship and organizational performance. The study is limited to male textile-based SMEs and can be enhanced by female entrepreneurs. Furthermore, this research contributes to entrepreneurship students by encouraging better research work in current and existing studies, and practically assists government and private policymakers and business practitioners to formulate better strategies for the sustainability and economic growth of a country.

Factors influencing women’s entrepreneurial success: A multi-analytical approach

“…Successful entrepreneurs play an important role in societal development because they help create jobs and promote economic growth ( Epezagne Assamala et al, 2022 ). However, a generally accepted definition of success, specifically for the new enterprise environment, does not exist because no mutual agreement is found among various authors ( Oyeku et al, 2014 ; Chatterjee et al, 2018 ; Qader et al, 2022 ). ES simply refers to tangible elements, such as organizational growth, capital formation, sustainability, revenue turnover, and organizational sustainability ( Dafna, 2008 ; Makhbul and Mohamad Hasun, 2010 ).…”

The Impact of Financial Literacy on Entrepreneurial Intention: The Mediating Role of Saving Behavior

“…It is also the ability to make sound financial and wealth-generation decisions (Mitchell and Lusardi, 2015). Individuals with a high level of financial literacy can easily develop the necessary risk management skills, identify available business opportunities, gain more market knowledge, manage their money more effectively, and make better financial decisions, all of which are critical for the growth of venture creation and entrepreneurship (Hilgert et al, 2003;Klapper et al, 2015;Li and Qian, 2020;Qader et al, 2022). Furthermore, financial literacy can help individuals develop saving habits (Hilgert et al, 2003;Sabri and MacDonald, 2010), leading to the establishment of new businesses or the expansion of existing ones (Rikwentishe et al, 2015b).…”

The Impact of Ethical Leadership on Employees’ Green Innovation Behavior: A Mediating-Moderating Model

“…Ethical leadership (EL) plays a significant role in enterprises. It is the most influential element to which the employees are exposed ( Sherehiy et al, 2007 ; Qader et al, 2022 ) and also influences the employee’s GI behavior. However, the studies about the impact on organizational behavior are few.…”
