The result showed that: (1) SPWMS was a significant predictor of SMEs performance, (2) SCI in new normal was not a significant moderator of the relationship between SPWMS and SMEs performance, (3) SPWTC was a significant predictor of SMEs performance, (4) SCI in new normal did not significantly moderate the relationship between SPWTC and SMEs performance. (5) ISWSCP was a significant predictor of SMEs performance, (6) SCI in new normal was not a significant moderator of the relationship between ISWSCP and SMEs performance, (7) ISCI was the significant predictor of SMEs performance, (8) SCI in new normal was not a significant moderator of the relationship between ISCI and SMEs performance.
