ABSTRACT

This study verifies the mechanism for which the entrepreneurial orientation(EO) of CEOs at small-and-medium enterprises(SMEs) affects directly business performance and indirectly through the mediation of innovative behavior of organizational members. A survey was executed to the employees of various SMEs, and the samples were analyzed by PROCESS macro(Hayes, 2013). Prior to conducting the survey, a preliminary survey was reviewed by 9 HR experts, which improved the validity and reliability of the measurement tools. The common method bias was minimized by executing the survey in two separate parts with an one week interval; the first part of the survey measuring the all variables except the dependent variable, and the second part, only the dependent variable. Firm size, firm industry, and firm age were selected as control variables. The findings verified the positive direct effect of CEO’s EO on business performance. And, the mediating effect of innovative behavior of organizational members between EO and business performance was verified. These findings empirically verify the mechanism that the EO of CEOs at SMEs positively affects on business performance, mediated by innovative behavior of organizational members. The present study expands existing leadership research about sustainable business performance, and presents interesting theoretical and practical implications with the limitation of this research and suggestion for further studies.
