Micro-, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) play a crucial role in the economic growth of emerging markets. This study examines the effect of entrepreneurial leadership (EL) on the entrepreneurial success (ES) of MSMEs in Malaysia through the mediating effect of entrepreneurial opportunity recognition (EOR) and innovation capability (IC). To examine the proposed mediation model, we utilized a structured questionnaire to collect data for this quantitative research. Partial least square-structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to test the hypothesis on a sample of 401 micro-business owners/managers in Malaysia. The findings reveal that an EL has a significant positive effect on ES but is conditional on the mediating role of EOR and IC. However, the results show that EOR and IC partially mediate the link between EL and ES. Additionally, EOR and IC serially mediated the relationship between EL and ES. This research has valuable contributions to MSMEs by explaining EL, EOR, and IC’s critical role in gaining competitive advantage and achieving success. This research develops a theory-based mediation model to demonstrate how the EL and ES of MSMEs are related. Further, the model in this study adds to the body of knowledge by examining whether or not serial mediation occurs through EOR and IC. Hence, this research sheds new light on the relationship between EL and ES.

“…PP will also affect the energy and mentality of entrepreneurs to deal with emergencies, and their ability to respond varies under different PP levels. Existing researches show that entrepreneurs’ capability and performance are positively and significantly correlated ( Aujirapongpan et al, 2020 ; Qu et al, 2022 ), as those entrepreneurs with better opportunity recognition ( Alim et al, 2022 ) and entrepreneurial ability ( Xia et al, 2020 ) tend to have higher performance. The level of enterprise performance can reflect the capability of entrepreneurs to some extent.…”

The entrepreneurial firms may be more vulnerable to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the entrepreneurs of entrepreneurial firms are also threatened by the revenues decline and business failure, which vehemently affect their well-being. The mental health of the entrepreneur decides whether the entrepreneurial firms can make the right decision, which is related to the healthy development of the entrepreneurial firms. Based on the event system theory and the cognitive appraisal theory, this paper aims to explore the effect of COVID-19 pandemic on the entrepreneur anxiety, and the threat perception and performance pressure are introduced to investigate the mediating mechanism and boundary of this effect. Using the simple random sampling to obtain questionnaire survey data, 168 entrepreneurs of entrepreneurial firms have participated in the empirical study, and the research results are as follows. First, the COVID-19 pandemic significantly positively affects entrepreneur anxiety. Second, the entrepreneur threat perception plays a mediating role between the COVID-19 pandemic and the entrepreneur anxiety, which means the COVID-19 pandemic can enhance the external threat perception of entrepreneurs, and then affect the entrepreneur anxiety. Third, the positive effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the entrepreneur anxiety is strengthened by the entrepreneur performance pressure, while the positive effect of entrepreneur threat perception on entrepreneur anxiety is weakened by the entrepreneur performance pressure. The above findings are helpful to explore the mechanism of the COVID-19 pandemic and other critical crisis events on entrepreneurs’ mental health from the new perspective of cognitive appraisal theory and event system theory, filling the research gaps between the COVID-19 pandemic and entrepreneur anxiety. Besides, this study broadens the applied range of the cognitive appraisal theory and the event system theory in the fields of crisis situations and entrepreneur research, and enriches the research outputs. Furthermore, this study will help provide a new theoretical analysis insight for the related research on how the COVID-19 pandemic affects entrepreneurs’ psychology, and further deepen researchers to understand the mechanism of entrepreneur anxiety under the COVID-19 pandemic, providing theoretical inspirations for reducing entrepreneur anxiety. What’s more, this study finds that individual pressure can affect their cognitive appraisal, which means that future research should take the pressure influential mechanism into consideration in the process of exploring “external stimulus--cognitive appraisal--emotional response,” further expanding the theoretical model of cognitive appraisal proposed from the perspective of pressure.
