20.500.12556/RUL-136460 Financial self-efficacy of entrepreneurs and performance In most developing countries, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are an essential segment of the economic composition and crucial players for fostering innovation, growth and prosperity. Despite wide agreement among researchers in entrepreneurship and SME management that entrepreneurial and general self-efficacy can positively impact business formation and growth, one aspect of entrepreneurial self-efficacy, i.e., financial self-efficacy, has not been linked to SME performance in terms of SME profitability and growth, or satisfaction of the entrepreneur with their company. This study fills this research gap by uncovering new knowledge about the relationship between the financial self-efficacy of the entrepreneur and elements of SME performance. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire in one European country. Hypotheses were conceptually developed and checked using regression analysis. The results of this research reveal new knowledge about the relationship between financial self-efficacy and performance. The entrepreneur's financial self-efficacy can matter for the profitability of SMEs, as well as for the growth and satisfaction of micro-SMEs and certain differently defined groups of entrepreneurs or companies. entrepreneurship SMEs company performance financing business efficiency financial self-efficacy entrepreneur SME Performance growth profitability satisfaction podjetništvo majhna in srednja podjetja poslovanje podjetja financiranje uspešnost poslovanja true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2022-05-05 12:19:21 2022-05-05 12:31:43 2022-09-15 04:13:54 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2022 0 0 19 str. iss. 1 Vol. 27 2022 0000-00-00 PostprintKoncna Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2023-05-01 658 1084-9467 10.1142/S1084946722500029 104426755 Financial_self-efficacy_of_entrepreneurs_and_performance.pdf Financial_self-efficacy_of_entrepreneurs_and_performance.pdf 1 294C67CDA8C81E35E0A65A5EE2007F1E 0d172a5f0370bf3370657e64f7ff27178160c38ccf1cf0961c044b485fc075c8 d1c2fbd0-cc62-11ec-8aca-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=156134 https://www.worldscientific.com/doi/10.1142/S1084946722500029 0 502821bb-cc5e-11ec-8aca-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=156130 Ekonomska fakulteta 0 0 0
