The method used is survey research data collection techniques using questionnaires to determine the respondents assessment of the variables examined. The sample size of this study based on the technique of proportional cluster random sampling from the target population of small-scale seaweed entrepreneurs spread over ten districts of South Sulawesi province. Testing hypotheses using structural equation modeling analysis (SEM) based on the framework of the measurement model and the structural model of causal relationships between variables. Implication of this research is that the entrepreneurial commitment has contributed more dominant than the influence of achievement motivation and self-efficacy on seaweed entrepreneur's performance, either directly or indirectly through entrepreneurial commitment.
