Research on entrepreneurial resilience has been growing recently but there has been no study on this topic that performs quantitative measurement to identify the influence of entrepreneurial self-efficacy and entrepreneurial passion upon entrepreneurial resilience. This paper aims at examining the influence of entrepreneurial self-efficacy and passion on entrepreneurial resilience in culinary Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) in disaster prone areas. This study used the quantitative method of analysis by applying Structural Equation Modelling with 382 samples of culinary SMEs in disaster prone areas in West Sumatera, Indonesia. This research found that there was no significant correlation between entrepreneurial self-efficacy and entrepreneurial resilience while positive and significant correlation was found between entrepreneurial passion and entrepreneurial resilience. The results can contribute to the development of entrepreneurial resilience theory and be useful for the local government in making policies related to support SME in such disaster prone areas.
