Abstract

This study examined the relationship between self-efficacy and entrepreneurial success of manufacturing firms in Rivers State, Nigeria. Selfefficacy, the predictor variable, was dimensionalised into achievement orientation, persistence and self-regulation, while entrepreneurial success, the criterion variable, was measured through financial success, market success and stakeholder-based success, with perceived environmental support specified as a moderating variable. Ten research questions and ten corresponding null hypotheses guided the study. The work was anchored on Entrepreneurial Self-Efficacy Theory
