Abstract
Purpose
The study aims to investigate the effect of entrepreneurial leadership (EL), competencies (ECs) and intentions (EIs) on enterprise performance (EP) via entrepreneurial resilience (ER) and risk-taking propensity (RTP).
Design/methodology/approach
Data were collected from 403 early-stage small and medium enterprise (SME) owners in Pakistan at two-time intervals and were analyzed using AMOS 22.
Findings
All predictors (i.e. EIs, EL and ECs) positively affected EP and ER, except for EL and ER. Furthermore, RTP and ER were serially mediated in linking EIs and ECs with EP but could not establish a link between EL and EP.
Research limitations/implications
The findings reveal that the Pakistani government and business owners must focus on SMEs’ sustained development and prioritize ECs.
Originality/value
This paper is unique in nature, as understanding EIs, EL and ECs in a holistic framework has never been tested before in relation to EP.
