The Influence of Resource Orchestration on Entrepreneurial Growth: Can Strategic Partnerships Mediate?
(African Journal of Accounting and Social Science Studies (AJASSS), 2025-06-30) Rutaba, Yohana A.
This study aimed to find out if strategic partnerships can mediate the relationship between resource orchestrations on entrepreneurial growth. The study is grounded by Resource Orchestration theory (RO). The hypotheses tested in this study included alternative hypotheses: resource orchestration (ROCN), positive influence entrepreneurial growth (ENTG), strategic partnership (STPS) positive influence entrepreneurial growth and strategic partnership mediates the relationship between resource orchestration and entrepreneurial growth. In this investigation, a quantitative approach was employed because the focus was on analyzing the relationships between variables and testing hypotheses, aligning with the study's objectives. The study adopted a cross-sectional survey design and data were gathered from managers of privately owned organizations in Dodoma city, Tanzania. The study categorized organizations as strata and employed a stratified simple random sampling technique. A structured questionnaire consisting of closed-ended questions based on a five-point Likert scale was used. To determine the sample size, a-priori sample size calculator was utilized for structural equation models. The analysis indicates that both ROCN and STPS have direct effects on ENTG. The analysis shows positive relationship between ROCN and STPS with coefficient of 0.2190, positive relationship between ROCN and ENTG with coefficient of 0.5213 and ENTG and ROCN with coefficient of 0.3645, all the significant P-values (0.0000). Additionally, there is evidence of an indirect effect of ROCN on ENTG through STPS, with a coefficient of 0.0496 on the effect of ROCN on ENTG through STPS, indicating mediation. Therefore, strategic partnerships may be utilized to play a crucial role in translating the potential benefits of orchestrating the resources into tangible entrepreneurial growth outcomes. In order to attain sustainable growth, business organizations should therefore concentrate on effectively managing resources, coordinating partnerships and exploiting external opportunities. The findings suggest that relevant policies should encourage and support training programs that are aimed at enhancing firms’ internal resource management capabilities. In terms of theory, this research study contributes to the understanding of resource orchestration and its role in organization performance and growth.
