Various researchers have articulated firm level entrepreneurship as a firm's strategic approach towards entrepreneurship comprising innovativeness, proactiveness and risk-taking and held that these three dimensions co-vary. Lumpkin and Dess [1] suggested addition of competitive aggressiveness and autonomy to the existing three dimensions and argued that these five dimensions vary independently. Prior research indicates that entrepreneurial orientation (EO) construct is a key ingredient in small firm's success but few studies have reported an insignificant or negative relationship. Researchers have highlighted the role of contextual variables both exogenous and endogenous in influencing EO-Firm Growth relationship. Building upon past studies, this paper examines EO construct comprising five independent dimensions with environmental uncertainty and resources as moderating variables. Results of the models estimated using contingency and configuration approach indicate that the five dimensions of EO vary independently and show significant interaction effects especially when both the moderating variables were configured simultaneously with individual dimensions of EO construct.

“…Some of the research found that EO has positive effect and significant on organizational performance (Lee, Lim, & Pathak, 2011;Lumpkin & Dess, 1996;Wang, 2008;Wiklund & Shepherd, 2003), however on the other hand, some of them did not find a positive relationship between EO and organizational performance (Li, Zhang, & Chan, 2005;Smart & Conant, 1994), or negative impact on performance (Hart, 1992). The inclusiveness in results about the EO-organizational performance relationship, lead us to examine this relationship.…”

“…The relationship between EO and organizational performance has been studied by many writers. However, some of them reported that EO has a positive relationship with organizational performance (Jogaratnam & Tse, 2006;Lee, Lim, & Pathak, 2011), others found an adverse result (Li, Zhang, & Chan, 2005;Smart & Conant, 1994). Therefore, the previous conflicting results require further studies and investigation to explore the reasons behind this conflicting and what mechanism can explain the relationship better to have positive results.…”

Purpose: This study was set up to examine the mediating role of ERP system on the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and organizational performance.Design/methodology/approach: To examine the hypothesized model developed for this study, the survey quantitative research design was employed. For that, the data were collected from Dubai police departments. Out of 150 questionnaires distributed, 111 usable questionnaires were returned. Employing the partial least squares structural equation modeling for data analysis.Findings: Based on the statistical results, the effect of entrepreneurial orientation and enterprise resource planning on organizational performance were confirmed. In addition, ERP was found to partially mediate the effect of EO on organizational performance. Further details and valuable implications of this study were discussed throughout the study. Practical implications:The results of this study have many practical implications. The results will help managers to take the proper decision when deciding to implement ERP system in their organizations. The ERP can help managers with strong EO to achieve the maximum performance in organizations and to remain competitive in the market. Originality/value:This study is considered one of the very few empirical studies that examine the effect of EO on ERP and the mediating effect of ERP on the EO-performance relationship.
