Abstract

Opportunism is an obstacle to close collaboration in page relationships. But little is known about what causes it. This study examines how the risk perception perspective influences opportunism in collaboration in small and medium technology enterprises. This paper answers the following research question: Is perception of risk for entrepreneurs in small and medium technology enterprises as an antecedent of opportunism? Using data from 304 responses to an opinion questionnaire survey. The data were analysed with structural equation models (SEM). The results show that the relational risk perceptions and the performance risk perceptions have a positive influence on their tendency to become opportunist. These findings confirm that risk perception is an important perspective to understand why contractors behave opportunistically. This paper focusses on the antecedents of opportunism in managerial decisions and their awareness.
