Abstract

This study's goal was to examine the impact of SME risk-taking and government support policies on the sustainability of SMEs, using a Moderating Effect Model. The research was conducted through structured interviews to gain insight into Business Risk-Taking and Sustainable Entrepreneurship Intention among SMEs in Côte d'Ivoire. Participants were chosen using a purposive sampling strategy in order to gather qualitative data. 509 respondents completed a self-administered questionnaire, which was used to gather data. Using PLS-SEM, the data were analysed and several hypotheses were evaluated. The study discovered that, through the indirect influence of risk propensity, risk attitude, and risk assessment, government subsidy policy moderation has a positive and substantial link between risk-taking and sustainable entrepreneurial goals. Governments and private finance sources might find these insights useful for fostering a more entrepreneurial climate.
