Abstract

In order to clarify the relationship between entrepreneurship, staff innovation behaviour and enterprise performance, theoretical hypotheses were proposed based on the combing and summary of related studies that entrepreneurship has positive effect on the enterprise performance and staff innovation behaviour plays a mediating role in the process of influence of entrepreneurship on enterprise performance. Questionnaire was designed using maturity scale and 507 valid questionnaires were collected. Statistical analysis software SPSSS21.0 was used to conduct various types of analysis on the valid data collected, including descriptive statistics, reliability analysis, exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), correlation analysis, regression analysis. The proposed theory model and hypotheses were verified at the same time. Data analysis results showed that: all dimensions of the entrepreneurship have remarkably positive effect on the enterprise performance; staff innovation behavior plays in part a mediating role between the entrepreneurship and the enterprise performance.
