Abstract
To examine mediation of entrepreneurial orientation replacing networking orientation in the relationship of entrepreneurial personality characteristics and intentions employing structural equation modeling using Smart PLS instead of IBM-SPSS Amos in prior research of mediation through networking orientation (Maitlo, Memon, & Kumar 2020). Results drawn from collected data of 250 shopkeepers of Shikarpur, Sukkur, and Khairpur Sindh reflect the shrinking of relationships at the frictional level. From a total of twelve hypotheses, only two hypotheses of direct relationship are supported remaining four direct and six indirect hypotheses are not supported. Instead in previous research employing IBM-SPSS Amos in SEM and networking orientation provided support in four direct hypotheses and two indirect hypotheses contrary to the results drawn in this research.
