Orientación Emprendedora

<p>El objetivo de este artículo es analizar el efecto de la Orientación Emprendedora (OE) como estrategia gerencial en el rendimiento de la empresa, diferenciando entre gerentes varones y gerentes mujeres. Para llevar a cabo el estudio fue recopilada información de 170 empresas del sector cuero-calzado del estado de Guanajuato, principalmente en el municipio de León. El modelo diseñado fue contrastado a través de un sistema de ecuaciones estructurales por mínimos cuadrados parciales (PLS-SEM) mediante el software SmartPLS®. Los resultados generales señalan que si bien existe un efecto positivo con rendimiento, existe una diferencia en la conformación de la OE, dependiendo del género del gerente. En el caso de las gerentes mujeres existe una baja orientación hacia la competitividad agresiva y una mayor orientación hacia la autonomía y proactividad que sus contrapartes. Este estudio servirá a los gerentes, a investigadores y a funcionarios gubernamentales para orientar los esfuerzos para fortalecer una gerencia femenina en la región y de igual forma a los académicos a generar nuevos acercamientos teóricos al constructo de OE desde una perspectiva de género.</p><p><em><strong>Palabras clave</strong>:</em> Orientación Emprendedora, Mujeres, Gerencia, Empresa PYME, Guanajuato.</p><p><strong>Abstract</strong></p><p>The main goal of this article is to analyze the effect of Entrepreneurial Orientation (EO) as a management strategy on the enterprise performance, differentiating between male and female managers. To carry out the study, information was gathered from 170 companies in the leather-footwear sector of the state of Guanajuato, mainly in the city of León. The designed model was contrasted through a system of structural equations by partial least squares (PLS-SEM) using SmartPLS® software. The general results indicate that although there is a positive effect with performance, there is a difference in the conformation of the EO, depending on the gender of the manager. In the case of women managers, there is a low orientation towards aggressive competitiveness and a greater orientation towards autonomy and proactivity than their counterparts. This study will serve managers, researchers and government officials to guide efforts to strengthen a female management in the region and in the same way academics to generate new theoretical approaches to the construction of EO from a gender perspective.</p><p><em><strong>Keywords:</strong></em> Entrepreneurial Orientation, Women, Management, SME Company, Guanajuato.</p>

The Impact

Entrepreneurial orientation has recently been touted as a tool for solving enterprise failures in emerged and emerging economies especially during and after an epidemic. This study aims at understanding the impact of entrepreneurial orientation on enterprise performance in the Ghanaian food processing industry by assessing the mediating effects of innovation types and intellectual property. Data were collected from 702 owners/managers in the food processing industry via survey questionnaires. The data were analyzed using the partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) to test the hypothesis via the Smart PLS software. The findings show that entrepreneurial orientation, innovation types, and intellectual property positively and significantly influenced enterprise performance. Furthermore, the results indicated that the mediation effects of innovation types and intellectual property were full and partial, respectively. Useful policy implications are further proposed and discussed based on the study results.

The Relationship

Abstract. The present study examined the relationship between resilience and positive outcomes in friendships of young adults. SEM and bootstrapping analyses were performed to test whether positive emotions mediate the relationship between ego-resilience and enhanced friendship outcomes. Findings revealed indirect effects for friendship closeness, maintenance behaviors, and received social support. Our findings demonstrate the importance of positive emotions and its connection with trait resilience in the realm of friendships.

The Relationship

This paper investigated whether the lack of social connectedness, as measured by the subjective feeling of loneliness, mediates the well-known relationship between interpersonal stress and psychological distress. Furthermore, a relationship between interpersonal stress and somatic symptoms was hypothesized. The study sample included 3,268 women and 3,220 men in Western Norway. The main findings were that interpersonal stress was significantly related to psychological distress as well as to somatic symptoms, both directly and indirectly via paths mediated by loneliness. The size of the indirect effects varied, suggesting that the importance of loneliness as a possible mediator differs for depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, and somatic symptoms. In the case of depressive symptoms, more than 75% of the total effect was mediated through loneliness, while in the case of somatic symptoms just over 40% of the total effect was mediated through loneliness. This study supports the hypotheses that social connectedness mediates a relationship between interpersonal stress and psychological distress. The study also provides the first link between interpersonal stress, as measured by the Bergen Social Relationships Scale, and somatic symptoms, extending earlier research on the relationship between interpersonal stress and psychological distress.
