    Abstract: The study examines how knowledge transfer in innovation acceptance (KTIA) influences on enterprise performance (EP), emphasising the mediating role of sustainable entrepreneurial behaviour (SEB). It is focused on farmers in Ratnapura District who participated in extension programs and trainings conducted by the Provincial Department of Agriculture, Sabaragamuwa Province, during the year 2022-2023. A sample of 392 farmers was selected from this population using a non-proportionate random sampling method. Additionally, thematic analysis was used to examine data from two focus group discussions conducted from September to October 2024, each involving ten farmers. The research employs structural equation modelling to analyse survey data collected from March to August 2024. Results revealed that KTIA positively affects both SEB and EP, and SEB plays a critical mediating role in enhancing the relationship between KTIA and EP. The study contributes to the theoretical understanding by illustrating the dynamic interplay among innovation, knowledge transfer, and sustainability in driving farmers entrepreneurial success and enterprise performance in this area.
    Keywords: enterprise performance; innovation acceptance; knowledge transfer; sustainable entrepreneurial behaviour; SEB; Sri Lanka.
