Abstract

This study examines the influence of perceived organizational support on employee performance by incorporating individual entrepreneurial orientation (IEO) as a mediating variable in the manufacturing sector. The study addresses how employees’ perceptions of organizational support can stimulate entrepreneurial-oriented behavior that contributes to improved performance. A quantitative approach with a correlational survey design was applied to test the proposed relationships. Data were collected from 86 employees of PT Feng Tay Indonesia Enterprises using structured questionnaires and a probability sampling technique. The data were analyzed using path analysis supported by SPSS version 27. The findings reveal that perceived organizational support positively and significantly affects individual entrepreneurial orientation and employee performance. In addition, entrepreneurial orientation also exerts a significant positive influence on employee performance and significantly mediates the relationship between perceived organizational support and employee performance. These findings highlight the importance of strengthening organizational support to promote entrepreneurial behavior and enhance employee performance, particularly in labor-intensive manufacturing environments. However, this study is limited to a single organization, which may limit the generalizability of the results to broader-to-broader industrial contexts. Future research is recommended to validate and generalize the proposed model across multiple companies, industries, and larger samples.
