Organizational Culture and Entrepreneurial Orientation: Mediating Role of Entrepreneurial Leadership
The purpose of this study was to investigate the mediating role of entrepreneurial leadership between different types of organizational cultures and entrepreneurial orientation. A total of 181 online responses from the small and medium size industries were gathered with the help of chamber of commerce and were analyzed using Partial Least Square (PLS). The result revealed that adhocracy culture and clan culture significantly affected the entrepreneurial orientation only if entrepreneurial leadership style acted as a mediator showing innovative solution development and mentorship were highly dependent on entrepreneurial leadership style. However, the relationship between market culture and entrepreneurial orientation became insignificant with the mediation of entrepreneurial leadership showing lack of external focus towards the market. The role of entrepreneurial leadership style remained significant in hierarchical culture to enhance entrepreneurial orientation suggesting higher internal focus and control. This study will help researchers and practitioners to understand the entrepreneurial leadership style in different organizational perspectives to generate entrepreneurial orientation.

Set of questionnaires were used as a method to collect the data and analyzed by using statistical software of Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). Respondents perceived a modest level of entrepreneurial orientation, organizational culture, and employees' perceived success. Respondents' judgments varied in relation to the variables associated to entrepreneurial orientation and organizational culture. There were significant positive relationships between employees perceived success and innovativeness, risk-taking, and proactiveness. There was also a substantial positive association between risk-taking and proactiveness. These findings imply that more success relates to greater degrees of innovativeness, risk-taking, and proactiveness, emphasizing the necessity of developing an innovative culture. The study's regression model revealed a strong positive relationship between independent variables (entrepreneurial orientation) and the dependent variable (employees' perceived success), suggesting innovativeness, risktaking, and proactiveness had substantial positive effects on employees' perceptions of their own success. Overall, the findings indicate that promoting entrepreneurial orientation, nurturing an innovative culture, and encouraging risk-taking and proactiveness can have a positive effect on organizational innovation performance and employees' perceptions of their own success. These findings offer important insights for future research and discussions on the relationships and implications of organizations.

The prime goal of the study is to understand the concept of entrepreneurial orientation (EO) of the technical institutions in Odisha. Further, this study tries to measure and validate the scale of EO developed by Miller, Covin, & Slevin (1989). Data from 397 respondents, who are basically the employees of the technical institutions, are collected to test the convergent and discriminant validity of the scale. In order to develop a measurement model, an exploratory factor analysis, followed by a confirmatory factor analysis, is deployed. The scale is found to have strong construct validity and the measurement model of the three underlying constructs – innovativeness, proactiveness and risk-taking developed by Miller, Covin, & Slevin (1989) – shows a good model fit.
