Problem Statement: Research shows how self-awareness can improve leadership performance, but the lack of studies on the effects of self-awareness on entrepreneurs prompts questions about its importance. This lack of research is believed to be the main reason that the importance of self-awareness is not promoted enough among entrepreneurs. This problem impacts most organizations because is believed that entrepreneurial self-awareness can improve their business’ performance. The most probable factor contributing to this problem is believed to be the possibility of entrepreneurial self-awareness not being correlated with the business’ performance. This study will contribute to the body of knowledge needed to address this problem by identifying if in fact this correlation exists.
Dear Cicero,
Finding related research work should not be a problem. If u r convinced of 'lack of studies', then perhaps your assumption, that "...it is believed that entrepreneurial self-awareness can improve their business’ performance" should be verified (empirically). May be "level/ degree of awareness" could be one categorical variable, which should be tested (for its dependence/ association) with "performance/ business-success". Both variables can be put under 3X3 contingency-table (cross-tab), with a classification of '1.Low, 2.Medium, 3.High' degree of (both) awareness and business-success.
Similar way a proposition (or the identified research-problem) can be on to test/ verify, "the degree of correlation/ association between 'awareness-level' and 'business-success' ".
But one should be careful about selection of sample (from target population). Result (possible correlation) can vary across the industries/ sectors.
Further related information can be obtained from, from some related questions, found in ResearchGate, at: https://www.researchgate.net/topic/entrepreneurship/
Thanks & best wishes.
Try to look at the previous performance scales in the previous studies. You could try to test your research by using objective measurements, instead of self rated questionaires
