Main Article Content
Abstract
This study aims to investigate how entrepreneurial passion can affect international performance, explicitly examining indirect effects mediated by entrepreneurial bricolage and innovation behaviors. This study adopts a quantitative research methodology, using a judgmental sampling approach to collect data from a target population of founders, founding team members, chairpersons, general managers, or senior managers of import and export enterprises in Shandong Province, China. Data are collected using a questionnaire survey. The data have been analyzed using SPSS and PLS-SEM. Findings reveal that entrepreneurial passion sensibly impacts enterprises' international performance, and this relationship is further strengthened by the mediating effects of entrepreneurial bricolage and innovation behaviors. These results provide theoretical foundations and practical guidance for entrepreneurs and policymakers on leveraging entrepreneurial passion to enhance international performance. Research enriches the literature by extending the application of social cognitive theory. It also provides novel perspectives and strategic recommendations for improving international performance during the internationalization of new ventures.
