This research article aims to: (1) examine whether entrepreneurial self-efficacy (ESE) directly influences innovation performance in Chinese technology-based new ventures; (2) investigate the mediating roles of entrepreneurial motivation (EM) and resource bricolage (RB) in the relationship between ESE and innovation performance; and (3) evaluate whether organizational learning (OL) moderates the strength of this relationship. The study employed a quantitative research design, collecting survey data from 740 founders and senior executives of technology-based new ventures across 29 regions in China. The data were analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and structural equation modeling (SEM).


The research results found that: (1) Entrepreneurial self-efficacy has a significant positive direct effect on innovation performance. (2) Entrepreneurial motivation and resource bricolage both serve as significant mediators in the relationship between ESE and innovation performance, indicating complementary mediation mechanisms. (3) Organizational learning significantly moderates the relationship between ESE and innovation performance, such that the positive effect of ESE is stronger under high levels of organizational learning.
