Restaurants tend to be small businesses, operated almost in a self managed way, by their entrepreneur owners or a contracted manager. The way these managers conduct their business depends much on their individual abilities to run the company. This research aimed to investigate the possibly existing influences between individual entrepreneurial orientation (IEO), service strategy (SS) and business performance (BP). A construct was developed to run the study, including hypothesis joining the three influences. Questionnaires using Likert scale were built and validated. Survey was conducted with 260 restaurant, bars and hotel owners or managers. Data were analyzed through modeling of structural equations. Results confirmed the three hypothesis: H1: IEO positively influences SS; H2: IEO positively influences BP; H3: SS positively influences BP. Theoretical contributions were made through the construct building. Managerial implications are listed, in order to help restaurant management better run their business.

This study aims to find out and explain the effects of transformational leadership and individual entrepreneurial orientation (IEO) on innovation work behavior (IWB) through knowledge sharing. Respondents 115 employees. Data collection is done through interviews and questionnaires. Data were analyzed using path analysis (SmartPls 3.0 software) and correlation dimensions between dimensions (SmartPls 3.0 software). The results of the study show that: (1) transformational leadership and IEO partially influence knowledge sharing; (2) transformational leadership, IEO, and knowledge sharing simultaneously affect IWB; (3) knowledge sharing has no effect on IWB; (4) knowledge sharing does not mediate the effects of transformational leadership and IEO on IWB. Based on the correlation matrix analysis between dimensions, to improve transformational leadership, which has a positive correlation with knowledge sharing, it is advisable to maintain and improve the dimensions of individualized consideration, and for IWB, namely motivational inspiration. To improve IEO, which has a positive correlation with knowledge sharing and IWB, it is advisable to maintain and improve the dimensions of proactive, and for IWB, namely innovative.
