“…There is no relationship between risk-taking as one of the EO variables and the internal environment's effectiveness and ability to achieve the organisation's goals. These results are compatible with Van-der Merwe and Malan (2013) and Phelan (2013). The risk-taking factor is almost not existed in the governmental sector, given that organisations in this sector seek sustainability and do not take any decision that might affect working processes.…”

“…Also, Van-der Merwe and Malan (2013) examine five dimensions of EO impact -innovation, autonomy, risk-taking, pro-activeness and competitive aggressiveness -on ability to achieve strategic plans at governmental secondary schools, and the results of the study expose a strong and significant positive relationship between what can be called "EO mentality" of school managers and ability to achieve expressive effect of strategic plan except for risk-taking, which has no explanation among this type of schools. This study is supported by another study proving that EO has a strong impact on the general performance of government schools in New Jersey except for risk-taking (Phelan et al, 2013).…”

The reason of conducting this research is that there is no reliable study measures entrepreneurial orientation (EO) at government entities. EO among commercial organisations is widely addressed in previous research and literature due the intense market competition where this type of organisations should invigorate and accelerate EO to lead markets. Nevertheless, there is quite small number of research works that examine EO among semi-governmental organisations. However, those research works are not sophisticated enough to measure the impact of adopting and implementing EO within governmental organisations. The four principles of EO, which are innovation, autonomy, risk-taking and pro-activeness are applied to examine the extent of implications among governmental sectors and impact of EO on an organisation’s performance. Continually, organisations’ performance is been identified by three elements. These are stimulating internal environmental effectiveness, ability to achieve the organisation’s goals and individual ability for self-development. The research is applied among Saudi governmental sectors in Tabuk City. Measurement items and instruments adopted from previous studies. Then, the exploratory factor analysis performed to determine applicability of EO factors among governmental sectors. Exploratory factor analysis proves that some factors, such as innovation and autonomy have a significant reason to be applied. The research results show that innovation has an impact on the internal environment to stimulate internal environmental effectiveness. However, the research could not find any link between innovation, ability to achieve organisation’s goals and individual ability for self-development. On the other hand, the internal environment’s effectiveness and ability to achieve an organisation’s goals can be increased if there is quite good margin of autonomy. Furthermore, whenever risk-taking attitude is high, individual development ability is clearly high as well. Finally, pro-activeness has a slight link with ability to achieve organisation’s goals.

“…An instrument was developed to measure EO in community colleges based on the work of Phelan et al (), who provided guidance on how to modify the five variable EO scale for an educational context. The Phelan scale was further modified to make sense for a community college audience.…”

“…The Phelan scale was further modified to make sense for a community college audience. As with prior EO studies (Morris et al, , ; Pearce et al, ; Phelan et al, ), the EO variable was constructed from five subscales: innovativeness, proactiveness, risk taking, competitiveness, and autonomy. Each subscale consisted of three items measured using a 7‐point Likert scale.…”

“…For example, Pearce et al () found support for the EO–performance relationship in a study of churches where performance indicators were measured as an increase in church membership and a change in donations from the congregation. In addition, Phelan, Johnson, and Semrau () found support for the EO–performance relationship where performance metrics included both financial and nonfinancial indicators in an education context.…”

The current study uses a sample of community colleges to explore the specific organizational practices that mediate the link between entrepreneurial orientation and performance. The study focuses on a set of practices known as strategic enrollment management and finds that a college's entrepreneurial orientation predicts its enrollment management orientation and the effectiveness of specific enrollment management practices for recruitment and retention. However, none of the constructs were associated with higher admission, graduation, or retention rates. The implications of these findings for theory, practice, and future research are then discussed.

PurposeThis study aims to investigate the multiple entrepreneurial, technology and marketing orientations effects on education service firm performance (FP) and the mediating role of information technology (IT) adoption capability.Design/methodology/approachEmpirical research based on 535 education service small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Indonesia and Singapore. Various validity and reliability tests were carried on before the actual analysis was conducted using structural equation modeling.FindingsThe results conclude that IT adoption capability is crucial for entrepreneurial and technology orientation (TO) to produce higher FP. This finding supports that IT capability is effective at helping firms implement their strategic orientations (SOs). In addition, market orientation (MO) influence on FP is more direct than other orientations under investigation.Practical implicationsThis study suggests that SOs, particularly entrepreneurial and technology, enable managers to improve FP via the development of IT adoption capability. The result shows that firms with multiple SOs would be able to respond to market challenges, utilize new technology and become more innovative, which eventually yields higher performance.Originality/valueThis study extends the understanding of multiple SOs influence on FP using the mechanism of IT adoption capability.
