Another advantage of UMKM is the concentration of business in producing goods for consumption at relatively cheap prices. Therefore UMKM can meet the needs of various levels of society with different incomes. One essential variable supporting this research is social capital. UMKM is very familiar with social capital. Social capital such as mutual cooperation activities, kinship relationships, building networks and interpersonal relationships, and built from mutualistic interactions based on building mutual trust. This is in line with Effendy's . that the capital of UMKM business is as important as money capital. The business activities built by UMKM are embedded in the structure of the community and family with social norms and sanctions.

However, social capital is a capital that has received relatively little attention compared to other capital, while UMKM often has limitations in both vertical and horizontal networks (Widodo, 2. Every entrepreneurs have motivation, although the difference found in their motivation to start a business. According to Amadea & Riana, . motivation plays an important role in business success. Motivation in several studies is considered as the driving force for a businessman to succeed (Amadea & Riana, 2020. Harie & Andayanti, 2. Entrepreneurial motivation encourages entrepreneurs to take action to realize their vision and goals (Yuritanto, 2. Motivation in business is not only in the form of self-confidence, but also a strong motivation for entrepreneurs to improve their ability to do business, the ability to access various information about business opportunities and challenges faced by Thus, entrepreneurial motivation is an important factor that must be owned by an entrepreneur.

In the cluster approach, support . oth technical and financia. is channeled to Small. Medium enterprises (UKM) groups, not to individual of UMKM. The group approach is believed to be better because the individual UMKM is generally unable to capture market opportunities, and also because the established business network has proven to be more effective in increasing business competitiveness because of its ability to synergize between UMKM. According to M. Porter . cluster is a network owned by companies where the network is usually geographically concentrated, such as clusters of suppliers, service and service providers, industrial clusters, and association institutions in certain areas that compete with each other, but also cooperate with each other.

Based on the test in table 5 for the reliability test, it indicated that all variables have an CronbachAos Alpha Ou 0. 6, so it can be concluded that the overall statement items of each variable in this study are reliable.

So, it meets the assumption of normality. Multicollinearity Test Table 4.

This indicates that there is no multicollinearity problem in the regression model. Heteroscedasticity Test To investigate the heteroscedasticity from the level of significance, the Glejser test or absolute residual of the data can be used. If the level is above 5%, it means that there are no signs of heteroscedasticity. If it is below 5%, it means that there is heteroscedasticity. Table 5.

It can be concluded that entrepreneurial motivation and social network relationship to the dependent variable of business performance from the selected regression model have not been properly used in this study. However, using a significant assumption of 10% or 0. 10 which means . 086 < 0. , then the appropriate research model is used to analyze the effect of entrepreneurship motivation and social network relationship on the dependent variable of business Coefficient of Determination Test (R.

This means that the value of the dependent variable can be explained by the independent variable by 3%, the remaining variables outside the model are 97%. T Test The t-test is used to test the significance effect of each independent variable on the dependent variable. This test uses a level of significance () This means that the probability of getting the t value located in the critical area . ejection are. if the true hypothesis is 0.

This means that entrepreneurial motivation has a significant positive effect on the business performance of herbal medicine sellers.

The strongest entrepreneurial motivation factor for entrepreneurs is a strong desire to have a successful In addition, the business currently being occupied has a good Moreover, other motivations are freedom and flexibility, the desire to make more money, autonomy, the desire to realize personal ambitions, personal challenges, and the need for job performance. In line with the research of Megracia . the strongest entrepreneurial motivation for entrepreneurs is seen from being an entrepreneur because they have a desire to be rich or have financial The business performance variable can also be seen from the question that business has the ability to compete. In line with the research of Yunal & Indriyani, 2. entrepreneurial motivation has an effect on business performance. This can be noticed from the respondents' answers to the questionnaire presented in the frequency table showing answers that are on average in the high category in answering the question of entrepreneurship motivation. So it can be concluded that businessmen generally have high motivation in carrying out entrepreneurial activities so that they have good business performance seen from increased business growth, increased profitability and competitive ability. The results indicate that the effect of social network relationship on the business performance of herbal medicine sellers is positive and not The results of this study are not in line with the opinion of Choi, . It reveals social capital is needed both from structural and behavioral In the structural aspect, social relations are needed to get information, suggestions for improvement, and other constructive input from people closest to who understand the same business. Meanwhile, from the behavioral aspect, it is an effort how to have good quality relationships with others in the form of a relationship based on a high level of trust and reciprocal relationships from both parties that are mutually beneficial . n line with applicable norm. It is clear from arguments about the role of social networking relationships in improving performance, that trust in relationships and relational norms will effectively enhance social exchange relationships and potentially encourage mutually beneficial business The findings of Agyapong et al. , . discussing the influence of social network relationships on business performance also do not support the results of this study. The role of social network relationships in the form of ties and connections in the organization will strengthen internal and external networks and try to utilize these social networks for wider However, the results of this study are supported by Pratono, . that social networking does not automatically improve business performance, due to the important role of mediating trust and commitment in building relationships such as lasting interactions in the long term and also reducing harmful conflicts (Salam, 2. Conclusion The entrepreneurial motivation has a significant positive effect on the business performance of herbal medicine sellers, while social network relationships have no significant effect on the business performance of herbal medicine traders. The biggest significant result is the entrepreneurial motivation variable. This study used a limited sample, including herbal medicine UMKM in Surabaya. To develop further research can expand the sample to UMKM in all sectors. This study also has limitations because one of the variables . ocial network relationshi. has a positive but not significant effect. The results show the Adjusted R Square value of 0. %). This means that the independent variables include entrepreneurial motivation and social network relationships affect business performance by 3%, while the remaining 97% is influenced by other variables not examined in this research model. Further research can include other variables obtained from a more complete variety of variables that can affect entrepreneurial success such as entrepreneurial orientation, business innovation, or developing the concept of entrepreneurial motivation and social network relationships with different measurements.
