This research is non-experimental, transversal with a quantitative approach, proposes a confirmatory-explanatory scope, and uses Structural Equation Systems (SEM) as a statistical method to test its hypotheses. The model for this research is formative causal structural. The study population is the MSMEs of the state of Tabasco, the type of sampling is non-probabilistic, the sample is 310 and a 19-item survey is used.
