Abstract
There is insufficient literatures that shows the direct and indirect effect of developing team working culture on the economic capital creation of MSEs from different contexts including the role of technology adoption and government interferences. Therefore, this study aimed at testing the effect of developing team working culture on the economic capital creation, as well as testing the mediating effect of technology adoption. The study used quantitative research approach to analyzed data obtained using questionnaire from a total of 194 respondent’s. The study revealed that developing team working culture can improve the MSEs economic capital creation both directly and indirectly through technology usage. It is indeed surprising that while political interferences have very high effect on economic capital creation, they have adverse effects on teamwork development in enhancing economic capital creation. Furthermore, the bureaucratic procedures that are often exercised in the supporting government offices would also negatively moderate the effect of developing teamwork culture on economic capital creation. Future research could expand the geographical scope, employ qualitative methodologies, and adopt longitudinal studies, thus giving a deeper and sounder insight into how the relationships change for a much better understanding of the factors that affect economic capital formation.
