Design/Methodology/Approach: Quantitative analysis techniques is used in this study. Data from 206 KSA owners / managers of SMEs is obtained and analysed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). Results: Findings indicate that strategic orientations mediate the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and performance of SMEs in Saudi Arabia. Limitations of the investigation: The proposed model may not be generalised and must be applied in other contexts and cultures. Practical implications: This study indicates that KSA managers should maintain emphasis on entrepreneurship and establish unique strategic techniques to improve efficiency. Policymakers are recommended to establish entrepreneurship initiatives for SMEs to form entrepreneurship. Additional recommendations are also provided. Originality / Value: This study adds to the current body of knowledge by addressing the mediating role of market and technology orientation in the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and performance of Saudi SMEs.

“…So, the different configurations of EO in accordance with the sustainability decision profiles and we extend the literature by showing how the reflexivity of EO interacts with sustainability orientation (DiVito, Bohnsack 2017). In addition, EO activated by grassroots innovation significantly influence entrepreneurial success in the Indian context (Singh et al 2019). Moreover, when we use separate or combine the influence of strategic drivers (entrepreneurial orientation, market orientation and knowledge management orientation) over cleaner production, there is a higher chance of cleaner production success, with a significant increase in sustainable competitive advantage for the small and medium enterprises (Guimarães et al 2018).…”

“… Batool and Ullah (2017) studied the antecedents of successful women entrepreneurship but did not use motivation and commitment as a predictor of entrepreneurial success. Singh et al (2021) investigated the impact of entrepreneurial orientation and grass-root innovators on entrepreneurial success and recommended conducting future studies to see the impact of personality traits on entrepreneurial success. Moreover, a significant portion of entrepreneurial studies has been done in developed economies (e.g., the United Kingdom, Canada, and the United States of America), and a dearth of studies have been conducted in developing economies ( Gupta and Mirchandani, 2018 ).…”

Women entrepreneurs are significant contributors to the economic development of any country and their role becomes more vital in improving the economic condition of developing countries. This highlights the important role of women-owned small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and their entrepreneurial success. Therefore, the current study extends the entrepreneurship literature by examining the effects of factors like personality traits (PT), motivation and commitment (MC), availability of financial resources (AFR), and government support (GS) on entrepreneurial success (ES) of women-owned SMEs. Using a purposive sampling technique data from 255 women-owned SMEs were collected. A multi-analytical approach was employed to analyze the data. The Structural equation modeling (SEM) results indicated that PT, MC, AFR, and GS have a direct effect of ES whereas MC also mediated the link between PT and ES, and the results reveal that in presence of MC the effects of PT on ES become more significant. SEM results revealed that PT and AFR are the most important factors related to entrepreneurial success. On the contrary, ANN analysis revealed that “motivation and commitment” is the most influencing factor. These findings can guide business practitioners and policymakers in the envisioned strategy formulation to encourage women entrepreneurs who can contribute to their country’s sustainable economic growth.
