In the present era, women-owned firms are one of India’s fastest increasing entrepreneurial communities in the form of women entrepreneurs. The objective of the study is to identify the factors that influence women’s entrepreneurial orientation and firms’ performance. The research study discusses the influencing factors and their effect on firms’ performance and satisfaction in this regard. The proposed framework and hypotheses have been tested using data gathered from boutiques, beauty parlors, carpet manufacturers, and retail shops in Karnataka, India. Data analysis was done using univariate, bivariate, and multivariate techniques. In Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), paths were created for evaluating the cause-and-effect relationship between different factors viz., social, psychological, financial, and resource factors and entrepreneurial performance and satisfaction. Seven relationships were significant, while two relationships were insignificant in this structural equation. The key finding of the paper is that all factors have a significant impact on the firm’s performance. The implications of research results for researchers and practitioners are discussed, and suggestions have also been made.

The application of multivariate techniques is mainly to expand the researchers explanatory ability and statistical efficiency. The first generation analytical techniques share a common limitation i.e. each technique can examine only a single relationship at a time. Structural Equation Modeling, an extension of several multivariate techniques is the technique popularly used today can examine a series of dependence relationships simultaneously. The purpose of this study is to provide a short review on Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) being used in social sciences research. A comprehensive literature review of article appearing in top journals is conducted in order to identify how often SEM theory is used. Also the key SEM steps have been provided offering potential researchers with a theoretical supported systematic approach that simplify the multiple options with performing SEM.

Entrepreneurial orientation reflects the degree to which firms’ growth objectives are driven bythe identification and exploitation of untapped market opportunities. Market orientation reflects the degree to which firms’ strategic market planning is driven by customer and competitor intelligence.Data was processed with Structural Equation Modeling using AMOS  program. The results showed that Entre-preneurial orientation has an direct effect onmarket orientation and indirect effect on profitability mediated by market orientation. The results suggest, at least in small firms, entrepreneurial orientation complements market orientation by instilling an opportunistic culture that impacts the firm’s profitability.Keywords:market orientation, entrepreneurial orientation, and profitability.

This research aims to investigate the effect of attitudes towards healthcare service quality on organisational performance among Saudi Arabian hospitals. The sample size comprises of 154 hospitals randomly chosen from 259 government hospitals in Saudi Arabia. For data analysis, the Partial Least Squares (PLS) structural equation modeling was used. In addition, this study found a positive and significant association between attitudes towards healthcare service quality and organisational performance. Eventually, this study provides some limitations and suggestions for future researchers.

The aim of this research is to examine the impact of vigilant, devoted, and self-sacrificing personality styles on intimacy (engagement, communication, shared friends) among young adults in romantic relationships (dating/married). A total of 1000 respondents aged 20-40 years old completed questionnaires on personality styles (Personality Self-Portrait) and intimacy (Personal Assessment of Intimacy in Relationships). Data analysis using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) shows a significant impact of self-sacrificing personality styles on engagement (γ = -0,511, p < 0,01) and communication (γ = -0,361, p < 0,01). There are also significant influences of vigilant (γ = -0,225, p < 0,05) and devoted personality styles (γ = 0,132, p < 0,05) to shared friends. The impact of self-sacrificing personality styles indicates the importance of both parties’ involvement in influencing their relationship. Besides, being too sensitive (vigilant personality styles’ characteristic) and having a sense of comfort in relationships with others (devoted personality styles’ characteristic) could influence how individuals engage in social relationships outside their romantic relationships. Key words: Intimacy, personality styles, romantic relationshipsAbstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan melihat pengaruh ciri kepribadian vigilant, devoted, dan self-sacrificing, terhadap intimacy (engagement, communication, shared friends) pada dewasa muda yang sedang menjalin hubungan romantis (berpacaran/menikah). Sebanyak 1000 responden berusia 20-40 tahun mengisi alat ukur ciri kepribadian (Personality Self-Portrait) dan intimacy (Personal Assessment of Intimacy in Relationships). Hasil analisis menggunakan Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) menunjukkan pengaruh ciri kepribadian self-sacrificing yang signifikan terhadap engagement (γ = -0,511, p < 0,01) dan communication (γ = -0,361, p < 0,01). Selain itu ditemukan pula pengaruh ciri kepribadian vigilant (γ = -0,225, p < 0,05) dan devoted (γ = 0,132, p < 0,05) yang signifikan terhadap shared friends, juga pengaruh status hubungan yang signifikan terhadap communication (γ = 0,102, p < 0,01). Pengaruh ciri kepribadian self-sacrificing yang signifikan menekankan pentingnya keterlibatan kedua pihak dalam mempengaruhi kualitas hubungan mereka. Selain itu, kepekaan yang terlalu tinggi (karakteristik ciri kepribadian vigilant) dan rasa nyaman akan hubungan dengan orang lain (karakteristik ciri kepribadian devoted) dapat mempengaruhi individu dalam menjalin hubungan dengan lingkungan sosial di luar hubungannya.

The reason for this examination was to explore the interceding job of Total Quality Management (TQM) between entrepreneurial orientation (EO) AND SME trade executions in the assembling area. This investigation was begun from the way that lone a couple of studies have inspected on how the company's impalpable assets and capacities, for example, EO and TQM drives Small and Medium Enterprise’s' export execution. A few questionnaires in Likert scale were utilized to gather the information and 364 usable reactions were gotten from the owner/CEO of exporting SMEs. Incomplete Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was utilized for the information examination. The discoveries uncover noteworthy connection among Entrepreneurial Orientation and TQM with Small and Medium Enterprise export execution. Besides, this investigation found the correlative interceding job of TQM among Entrepreneurial Orientation and SME export execution of production sector. This investigation has suggestions for proprietor/supervisors of SMEs. The outcomes offer a superior comprehension with respect to EO and TQM usage to SMEs proprietor/chiefs.
