The estimated sample size, according to Cochran's formula, was set at 100 the individual members of which were selected using simple random sampling. This is an applied research conducted through a descriptive-correlational survey. The actual data were collected using standard questionnaires. Adopting the scale applied by Panahi Vanayee (2016), the dimensions of the company performance BB was measured and the standard questionnaire of Zampetakis (2007) was used to measure the variables of entrepreneurial behaviors. Research reliability was measured based on Cronbach's alpha. All data analyses, both descriptive and inferential, were performed in PLS3 software.
