Abstract

This research examines the role of competitive advantage in mediating the effects of entrepreneurial orientation and market orientation on marketing performance. The study involved SMEs in Kebumen Regency. Data were collected from 180 respondents through an online survey conducted from July to September 2024. Data analysis was performed using the Partial Least Square (PLS) method with Smart PLS version 3 software. The findings reveal that entrepreneurial orientation positively influences competitive advantage, and market orientation similarly exerts a positive effect on competitive advantage. Furthermore, both entrepreneurial and market orientations positively impact marketing performance. Additionally, the indirect effect assessment demonstrates that competitive advantage significantly channels the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation, market orientation, and marketing performance, playing a mediating role. This study highlights the importance for managers to foster entrepreneurial and market orientations to enhance competitive advantage, ultimately leading to improved marketing performance in SMEs context.
