- W3145073537 abstract "In Malaysia, Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) contribute more than one-third to the country’s gross domestic product (GDP). Past studies revealed that access to finance and entrepreneurial characteristics are often known as predictors of SMEs performance. Nonetheless, access to finance is still one of the pressing problems faced by SMEs in Malaysia. Studies on this topic have not been extensively explored particularly in the FELDA scheme. Hence, this paper attempts to investigate how access to finance and entrepreneurship characteristics affect SMEs business performance in the FELDA scheme. This study employed a survey research design. Data were collected from a sample of 368 SMEs and analysed using the Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). This study found the insignificant effect of access to finance on business performance. There was no significant effect of innovativeness and pro-activeness on business performance. Interestingly, risk-taking was directly related to SMEs business performance. Overall, findings imply that SMEs in the FELDA scheme have difficulties getting financial access, dare to take bold actions in business but they are lacking the propensity in introducing new business ideas and are not fast enough in taking advantage of new business opportunities. The paper recommends that government agencies should provide adequate business support and financial access to improve SMEs entrepreneurial capabilities and business performance." @default.
