The sample consisted of 152 micro and small enterprises in two textile handloom clusters in Madhya Pradesh, India. Hierarchical regression analysis results suggested that centrality, internal network, entrepreneur self-efficacy, extraversion, conscientiousness, and emotional stability together accounted for about 68 per cent in subjective performance. Whereas, centrality, external network, entrepreneur self-efficacy, extraversion, and conscientiousness together accounted for about 53 of the variance in sales. Contrary to the expectation, conscientiousness and emotional stability were negatively associated with Sales. Density, Agreeableness and Openness to experience were unrelated to sales. Results are explained by taking interdisciplinary theoretical support from the theory of social network, cluster theory,...
