Abstract

Considering the importance of internalization of micro and small enterprises (MSEs) for the national economic growth, this study was conducted in order to find out the possible effect of individual entrepreneurial orientation (IEO) on export intention in micro and small enterprises through moderating effect of access to finance. In this study, 150 questionnaires consist of 29 items were personally distributed to farm owners in Nepal. The questionnaires were distributed in Kathmandu, Tokha, Ramkot, Dharmasthali, Gold Dhunga and Jhor. Structural equation modelling (SEM) was used to test the hypothesized model and structural relationships. The result of this study indicates that out of five dimensions of IEO only autonomy has positive significant effect on export intention of farm owners in Nepal, whereas there was no moderating role of access to finance in effect of IEO on export intention. Yet, this study contributes to body of knowledge of IEO and export intention.
