Furthermore, entrepreneurial motivation significantly affects entrepreneurial performance, and the path coefficient is 0.833.Also, the entrepreneurial motivation plays a fully intermediary role, and the entrepreneurial trait and the four dimension factors indirectly influence the entrepreneurial growth performance.
