This research paper was emphasized on the analysis of the effect of decision making heuristics and cognitive biases on MSMEs performance. The drive of the research is to analysis the decision making heuristics and cognitive biases of MSMEs owners, to investigate the effect of decision making heuristics and to explore the mediating effect of financing on the relationship between decision making heuristics, cognitive biases and performance of MSMEs in Yangon, Myanmar. Overconfidence, optimism, mental accounting, and loss aversion as independent variables, financing as mediating variable and MSMEs performance as dependent variable were included in this study. The primary data was collected from the Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises Association (Yangon). Of the total of 120 members at the Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises Association (Yangon), 50 MSME owners were selected as the respondents for this study. All the MSMEs owners had high decision making heuristics and cognitive biases. Among them, loss aversion had significant relationship with the performance of MSMEs. Each of the heuristic and bias were associated with the three levels of financing. When the expansion stage financing was served as the mediator between heuristics, biases and MSMEs performance, there had a mediator effect. The results showed that the overconfidence and optimism were associated with performance whereas the loss aversion was not. It is important for MSME owner to know the uses of decision making heuristics and cognitive biases as an effective way of making decisions. As the heuristics and biases are ingrain in the psych of the small business owners, removing those decision making heuristics and cognitive biases may be difficult. However, this study proved that MSME owners could use the heuristics and biases in efficient and effective ways. The empirical implications that can be taken from this research are that when MSME owners had the decision making heuristics and cognitive biases, it was not totally negative. |
