on the relationship between Entrepreneurial Orientation and Innovation Performance at the
Manufacturing Company. This research is considered important because the trend is growing
rapidly so that it requires companies to innovate in order to survive in the face of various
challenges in the future. Based on previous research, innovation grows because of the
entrepreneurial spirit such as Risk Taking, Innovativeness and Proactiveness. The company
should have Information Literacy (IL) in order to have a correct understanding of what is
happening in society. This research can also be a reference for Manufacturing Company so that
they can see opportunities from the role of Information Literacy and develop an entrepreneurial
spirit in every employee who works so that they can produce Innovation Performance. The
method / theory of this study used PLS SEM (Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling)

study indicate that the entrepreneurial orientation of employees consisting of innovativeness,
proactiveness and risk taking can help companies produce innovation performance. However,
information literacy has not played a significant role as a moderator between intrapreneurial
orientation and innovation performance. The conclusion of the research is that entrepreneurial
orientation produces quality human resources because it can be a source of innovation.
