From a total population of $220$ small businesses with more than ten years of active business operations within the research settings, a sample of $119$ owners$-$managers were randomly selected to provide empirical data. Data collection was based on primary data, by using closed ended questionnaire as the main research instrument. The bivariate correlation analysis is employed to ascertain the set study objective.
