Entrepreneurship is the main engine of economic development. This paper aims to explore the impact of high executives' entrepreneurial spirituality (ES) on the business performance in China under the background of "mass entrepreneurship and innovation." By analyzing the relevant literature of entrepreneurship, the connotation and elements of ES are determined. According to the relevant research, we design the questionnaire of ES and business performance. The questionnaire was distributed to 100 private enterprise entrepreneurs by equidistant sampling, and 74 valid questionnaires were recovered. According to the questionnaire, responsibility has the highest score, followed by innovation, proactiveness, and risk-taking. The ES of women is slightly higher than that of men. The entrepreneurs with higher education also have higher score in ES. After analyzing the impact of different elements of ES on enterprise performance using structural equation modeling (SEM) and regression equation model, it is found that: (1) ES has a positive impact on enterprise performance. (2) Different factors of ES have different effects on business performance, and innovation and proactiveness play the greatest role. (3) There is an inverted U-shaped relationship between innovation, risk-taking, and business performance.
创业精神是经济发展的主要引擎。本文旨在探讨在“大众创业、万众创新”背景下，高管创业精神（ES）对中国企业绩效的影响。通过分析创业相关文献，确定了ES的内涵与要素。依据相关研究，设计了ES与企业绩效的问卷。通过等距抽样向100位民营企业创业者发放问卷，回收有效问卷74份。根据问卷结果，责任得分最高，其次是创新、主动性和冒险精神。女性的ES略高于男性。受教育程度较高的创业者在ES方面得分也较高。运用结构方程模型（SEM）和回归方程模型分析ES不同要素对企业绩效的影响后发现：（1）ES对企业绩效有正向影响。（2）ES的不同因素对企业绩效的影响不同，创新和主动性发挥的作用最大。（3）创新与冒险精神和企业绩效之间存在倒U形关系。
