In this study, we investigate the effect of responsible entrepreneurship on entrepreneurial performance through the mediating mechanism of social innovation. Further, we explore the moderating role of a firm's degree of sustainable development goals (SDGs) commitment on the relationship between social innovation and entrepreneurial performance. Data were collected from 220 firms in Ghana using a time‐lagged design. Our results show that responsible entrepreneurship has an indirect effect on entrepreneurial performance through social innovation. Moreover, the effect of social innovation on entrepreneurial performance is amplified when a firm's degree of SDGs commitment is higher. These findings contribute to the responsible entrepreneurship and social innovation literature.

在本研究中，我们通过社会创新的中介机制探讨了负责任创业对创业绩效的影响。此外，我们还探讨了企业可持续发展目标（SDG）承诺程度对社会创新与创业绩效之间关系的调节作用。使用时滞设计从加纳 220 家公司收集数据。我们的研究结果表明，负责任的创业精神通过社会创新对创业绩效产生间接影响。此外，当企业对可持续发展目标的承诺程度较高时，社会创新对创业绩效的影响就会放大。这些发现为负责任的创业和社会创新文献做出了贡献。
