This study focuses on entrepreneurs associated with construction-based renewable energy projects located in Pakistan. The objectives of this research to identify the critical factors that affect the success of entrepreneurs. We used three dimensions of critical success factors such as government support (GS), access to finance (AF), and personality traits (PTs). This study consists of four important direct and indirect relationships. First, we examine the direct relationship between critical success factors (CSFs) and the success of entrepreneurs. Second, we investigate the direct relationship between CSFs and supportive leadership (SL). Third, we also examine the indirect relationship of supportive leadership between CSFs and the success of entrepreneurs. Fourth, we test the direct relationship between supportive leadership and the success of entrepreneurs. In this study, we collected data from 255 entrepreneurs using convenience sampling techniques associated with construction-based renewable energy projects in Pakistan. A five-point Likert scale is used for data collection through a research questionnaire. The direct and indirect path analyses were tested using structural equation modeling (SEM). The results of this study conclude. First, in the direct relationship, all the critical success factors, i.e., personality traits, access to finance, and government support, positively and significantly impact entrepreneurs' success. Second, the results confirmed that all critical success factors positively correlate with supportive leadership. Third, the results also revealed that supportive leadership significantly and positively mediates the relationship between the three CSFs and the success of entrepreneurs. Fourth, the outcomes also demonstrate that supportive leadership positively affects the success of entrepreneurs. The outcomes of this study also suggest some theoretical and practical suggestions for academicians and entrepreneurial personnel.
本研究聚焦于与巴基斯坦基于建筑的可再生能源项目相关的企业家。本研究的目的是确定影响企业家成功的关键因素。我们使用了关键成功因素的三个维度，即政府支持（GS）、融资渠道（AF）和个性特质（PTs）。本研究包含四个重要的直接和间接关系。首先，我们考察关键成功因素（CSFs）与企业家成功之间的直接关系。其次，我们探究关键成功因素与支持型领导（SL）之间的直接关系。第三，我们还考察支持型领导在关键成功因素与企业家成功之间的间接关系。第四，我们检验支持型领导与企业家成功之间的直接关系。在本研究中，我们使用便利抽样技术，从255名与巴基斯坦基于建筑的可再生能源项目相关的企业家那里收集数据。通过一份调查问卷，采用五点李克特量表进行数据收集。使用结构方程模型（SEM）对直接和间接路径分析进行检验。本研究结果得出以下结论。首先，在直接关系中，所有关键成功因素，即个性特质、融资渠道和政府支持，对企业家的成功都有积极且显著的影响。其次，结果证实所有关键成功因素与支持型领导呈正相关。第三，结果还表明支持型领导在三个关键成功因素与企业家成功之间起到显著且积极的中介作用。第四，结果还表明支持型领导对企业家的成功有积极影响。本研究结果还为学者和创业人员提出了一些理论和实践建议。
