| Abstract: | Leading in a turbulent time and an increasingly competitive and entrepreneurial economy, a new form of leadership is required which has been termed entrepreneurial leadership. Key themes in the entrepreneurial leadership literature indicate a lack of perception studies, while leadership perception is seen as highly important when leaders that understand their own perceptions influence the way in which they behave like a leader and subsequently influence thereby the behavior of their employees and outcomes in term of firm performances. Therefore, the aim of this study is twofold: (1), if leaders’ entrepreneurial behavior is influenced by their perception components (affective, cognitive, behavior), and (2) if the entrepreneurial behavior of leaders has an effect on (perceived) firm performances. Qualitative interview results were translated by a generalization design into a quantitative dataset of 96 respondents and analyzed by conducting both a multiple linear regression and an ordinal logistic regression. Based on the perception of leaders it is recommended to increase the overall share of entrepreneurial leadership in their total leadership behavior which eventually increase the (perceived) firm performances. To come to a higher share of entrepreneurial leadership, this study recommended to focus on socially driven components where both affective (social intelligence) and behavior (TFL) are socially driven and contribute significantly to the share of entrepreneurial leadership in the total leadership behavior of leaders. |
