Effect of Entrepreneurial Competencies, Leadership, Intention through Entrepreneurial Resilience on Sme Performance of Tailoring SME’s

Abstract

This study examines the influence of entrepreneurial competencies, leadership, and intention on the performance of garment-tailoring SMEs in Jabodetabek, Indonesia, with entrepreneurial resilience as a mediating variable. Motivated by the growing challenges faced by local tailoring businesses amid imported textile competition, the research adopts a quantitative approach using survey data from 108 SME owners analyzed with SmartPLS 4.1. The results show that entrepreneurial competencies, leadership, intention, and resilience significantly enhance SME performance, though intention has no significant indirect effect through resilience. The study extends the Resource-Based View (RBV) by integrating psychological and strategic aspects of entrepreneurship and provides practical implications for SME development, policy formulation, and entrepreneurship education to strengthen resilience and competitiveness.
