区域软环境、企业家能力与中小企业绩效

Regional soft environment,entrepreneurial competence,and SME performance

为有效阐释"为何学界所认知的显著关系及政界为营造良好外部环境所付出的诸多努力在中小企业实践中未能得以体现"问题,论文基于内外部要素相结合的全新视角,运用问卷调查的实证方法,提出并检验了考虑企业家能力中介作用的区域软环境与中小企业绩效关系假设。结果显示:区域软环境对中小企业绩效(无论是总绩效,还是长、短期绩效)具有显著的正向直接影响作用,但各环境要素的短期影响作用则并不显著,这表明区域软环境建设是一项长期工程,其对中小企业绩效具有深远影响;此外,企业家能力在区域软环境与短期(长期)绩效关系间起完全(部分)中介作用,这表明企业家能力的大小会直接影响区域软环境建设效果的转化。

To address the question about why the significant relationship recognized by the academics and the development of ex- temal environment by government is unable to be embodied in the SMEs practices, by standing on a new view of the combination of external and intemal factors, the mediative role of entrepreneurial competence in the relationship between regional soft environ- ment and SMEs performance is proposed and examined through an empirical method. The findings show that regional soft environ- ment has a significantly positive effect on SMEs performance, however all of its elements do not have such effect on SMEs short term performance, which suggest that the construction of regional soft environment is a long term project, and it has a far - reac- hing influence on SMEs performance; Meanwhile, entrepreneurial competence plays a full mediative role in the relationship be- tween regional soft environment and SMEs short term performance, and plays a partial mediative role in the relationship between regional soft environment and SMEs long term performance, it is indicates that entrepreneurial competence could directly influ- ence the transformation of regional soft environment achievements.
