This empirical study investigates how psychological, strategic, and social dimensions of
entrepreneurial resilience relate to business survival among micro and small enterprises in
Southeast Nigeria. Using a field survey of 300 entrepreneurs across Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi,
Enugu, and Imo States, the study assesses reliability of scales, descriptive statistics,
correlations, and multiple regression, and explores a mediation mechanism (social capital →
institutional support → survival). Results indicate that strategic and psychological resilience,
as well as social capital, are positively associated with business survival, while environmental
turbulence exhibits a negative relationship. Institutional support partially mediates the effect
of social capital on survival. Policy and managerial implications are discussed.
