| Summary: | This paper uses survey data regarding native Sichuan entrepreneurs who have
developed businesses outside of Sichuan Province and then returned, along with
their organizations, to Sichuan. Our goal was to identify and examine the factors
influencing their entrepreneurial performance by using SEM-PLS. The results
show that policy support, social relations and entrepreneurial self-efficacy have
significant roles in entrepreneurial performance. No direct influence from the
cultural or market environments was detected. Therefore, this study indicates that
for entrepreneurs returning to their hometown the government should provide
social and financial support for small and micro sized entrepreneurial ventures
while the entrepreneurs should constantly strengthen their entrepreneurial selfefficacy by obtaining information through cultivated social relationships and
market opportunities that will allow them to enhance their entrepreneurial
performance
