“…It has emerged as one of the most commonly recognized firm-level constructs in the literature on entrepreneurship and one of the key topics in entrepreneurship studies [28]. Most previous studies have agreed on one thing, that is, to suggest that EO should be viewed as a phenomenon at the firm level [29][30][31]. In fact, EO is seen as an organizational tool that helps companies differentiate themselves from their rivals [29,32].…”

This study attempts to fill the gap in the literature between self-efficacy and entrepreneurial orientation (EO). The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of self-efficacy and EO mediated by moral intelligence. Data collection was carried out from a population of 17,603 Muslim entrepreneurs in the city of Semarang who are engaged in the Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) sector. The data collected from the online survey was applied to structural equation modeling (SEM). From this study, it was found that self-efficacy has a significant effect on EO and moral intelligence, while moral intelligence affects EO. This study contributes to the literature on the role of self-efficacy and moral intelligence in increasing EO. The originality of this study is to offer the concept of moral intelligence which plays a central role in the relationship between self-efficacy and EO. Thus, no studies have investigated this causality.

“…There is numerous evidence proving the positive impact of EO on firm performance (e.g., Hughes & Morgan 2007). Additionally, firm-level entrepreneurship is perceived as a tool of strategic development of an organization (Bednarczyk, 1996) as well as internationalization (Narayanan, 2017). EO is also linked with innovation intensity (Benazzouz, 2019).…”

The aim of the paper is to examine relational capabilities of an organization in the context of entrepreneurial orientation and to identify potential interconnection between them. Research Design & Methods: The sample consists of 363 small-and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) representing both service and manufacturing (high-and low tech) industries. The correlation analysis was employed to test the associations among variables. The variables were dimensions of entrepreneurial orientation (i.e., risk-taking, innovativeness, and proactiveness), dimensions of relational capability (i.e., the intensity of inter-organizational relations, resources involved in inter-organizational relations, and management of inter-organizational relations), and firm's performance. Findings: The findings show that all dimensions of relational capabilities are associated strongly with risk-taking, while their associations with innovativeness and proactiveness are weak, however statistically significant. The access to external resources, their utilization, and sharing their resources are the most important aspects of relational capabilities. All variables are significantly correlated with performance. Contribution & Value Added: The study's results imply that relational capabilities may play an important role in pursuing entrepreneurial opportunities. The findings confirm the importance of behaviours focused on sharing resources (including knowledge). This observation has a practical implication for entrepreneurs. Article type: research paper
