“…The results of the study do not support the research (Asah and Rungani, 2015;Shariff and Peou, 2008;Yaakob et al, 2014). The results of multiple regression with the independent variable personal value show the value of R = 0.126, R2 = 0.016 with a significance of 0.222 more than 0.05, indicating that personal value has no effect on performance, in line with research by Shiu (2006) and Mazzarol et al, (2009) who argue that there is no significant relationship between personal values and business performance of the SME sector.…”

“…In support of this finding, Martin et al (2013) observed a strong positive relationship between entrepreneurs' access to training and business success. In a related study, Yaacob et al (2014) in Malaysia also reported a significant positive relationship between graduate entrepreneurs' access to technical training and survival of businesses. Business skill acquisition and continuous training are important antecedents of business growth.…”

“…Compared with the RBV, the human capital theory deals directly with resource endowment of the entrepreneur which concerns his/her knowledge and capacities for efficient business performance (Martin, McNally, & Kay, 2013;Oyedele et al, 2014;Yaacob, Mahmood, Zin, & Puteh, 2014). Hence, the theory postulates that small businesses' chance of survival and performance depend on the knowledge and experience of the entrepreneur (Dimov & Shepherd, 2005;Martin et al, 2013).…”

Small-scale firms are essential contributors to employment generation and growth of many economies. In recognition of their salient role, several policy interventions have been implemented to enhance job creation functions of small-scale firms. This study examined one of these interventions, that is, promotion of small-scale firms in Sunyani municipality of Ghana by analyzing the effect of entrepreneurs, firm, and institutional characteristics on the growth of small-scale firms. A cross-sectional survey was conducted involving 200 small-scale firm operators selected through multi-stage sampling. Both descriptive and inferential analytical tools were used to analyze the data. Descriptive techniques employed included means, frequencies, and cross-tabulations. The inferential analysis included the use of multivariate multiple regression techniques that estimate a single regression model with more than one dependent variable simultaneously. The findings show three types of small-scale enterprises viz. processing (dominated by females), artisans, and service sector (dominated by males) at Sunyani municipality of Ghana. The main findings show that demographic factors (sex of operator, completion of formal education at basic school level or junior high school), institutional variables (bank investment and training services), and firm characteristics (artisan and craft industry type) conjointly and significantly influence small-scale firm performance (number of employees and sales or monthly revenue). Consequent implications for developing economies (such as Ghana) include the need for the introduction of entrepreneurship education at basic level of education in addition to the current practice where entrepreneurship education is mostly limited to tertiary institutions or undergraduate levels, and linking provision of investment services with requisite skills training and backstopping in interventions targeting small-scale firms.
