Abstract

The main objective of this study is to examine the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and the performance of batik SMEs, with access to financing as a moderating variable. Using data collected from 41 batik SMEs in the city of Semarang, the study used hierarchical moderated regression analysis with PLS which was used to test the hypothesis. The statistical results lead to the conclusion that: the variable dimensions of entrepreneurial orientation (innovation, risk taking and proactivity) have a significant positive relationship with the performance of SMEs, but the variable access to finance is unable to moderate this relationship. The implication of this finding is that financial institutions and the government need to increase their role to encourage the improvement of the performance of batik SMEs in the city of Semarang in terms of providing information, market access, capital, and training needs so that they can become a reference for determining the development strategy of batik SMEs in the future. From the batik entrepreneurs or SMEs itself, this research can be used as a guide for improving business performance through entrepreneurial-oriented behavior.
