The main goal is to examine the relationship between entrepreneur narcissism and SMEs performance. Although existing research examines mediating relationships between them in terms of hubristic behavior, we adopt a different approach by examining their differences in relation to the employee and leadership. Using management theories and literature, current research revealed how entrepreneurs' personalities and behavior influence SMEs' performance and act as a strong bridge between them. The study collected data from 255 employees working in various SMEs across Punjab-Pakistan and provided data to their managers/owners. For data analysis, a self-administered questionnaire was used. The outcome is interpreted using a measurement model and regression analysis. Recent findings backed up the theoretical hypothesis.
