Abstract

Several studies have shown that SME owner-managers are among the people who work the most. This characteristic of their world of work can directly influence the number of hours of sleep they get, and the resulting state of sleepiness can affect cognitive functions. Entrepreneurial cognition studies provide many clarifications on the importance of cognitive functions and their effects on certain entrepreneurial abilities. This research attempts to explore the effects of sleepiness on concentration and entrepreneurial alertness of SME owner-managers. The research method adopted is a two-month cross-sectional quantitative study on 238 SME owner-managers. The use of the partial least squares (PLS) structural equations method revealed the negative influence that sleepiness had on the SME owner-manager?s capacity to maintain certain cognitive and entrepreneurial abilities.
