The effect of human capital, social capital and self-competence on restaurant performance

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of human capital, social capital and self-efficacy on restaurant performance. For this purpose, a model proposal explaining the relationship between the variables discussed in the study was presented and tested using structural equation modeling. In the study, convenience sampling was preferred. Data were collected by contacting 115 of 356 food and beverage establishments in Manisa. The data were analyzed by IBM SPSS AMOS 22.0 software and Smart PLS3 package program. The findings of the study show that human capital has a statistically significant and positive effect on entrepreneurial self-efficacy and restaurant performance. In addition, social capital has a statistically significant and positive effect on entrepreneurial self-efficacy and restaurant performance. However, self-efficacy has no effect on restaurant performance. The findings were compared with the existing literature and academic and practical suggestions were made.
