| description | Future directions, explained as entrepreneurs‟ intention to collaborate may play an
important role in endurance, sustainability and growth of entrepreneurial businesses. Based on the
theoretical foundation of entrepreneur‟s goals attainment theory, this research aimed to empirically
investigate the influence of entrepreneurs‟ personal goals attainment on their intentions to collaborate
with other businesses. Self-administered survey questionnaires were used to collect quantitative data
from 285 conveniently-selected Malaysian SME entrepreneurs. The Multiple Regression Analyses of
the collected data revealed that there is a positive and significant relationship between entrepreneurs‟
intrinsic reward goals attainment and their intention to collaborate. On the other hand, it is found that
attainment of economic gains, perceived autonomy and family concern goals have no relationship
with entrepreneurs‟ intention to collaborate. The concluding part of this paper presents the study
implications along with limitations of this study and some future recommendations. |
