The pivotal entrepreneurial performance displayed by rural enterprises holds paramount importance for sustaining the vitality of entrepreneurial activities. Consequently, the pursuit of enhancing this performance has garnered escalating interest and extensive attention among rural entrepreneurs. Drawing upon the theoretical framework of entrepreneurial ecosystems, this paper meticulously integrates seven core elements and innovatively fuses two emerging analytical approaches, namely NCA(Necessary Condition Analysis) and fsQCA(fuzzy set Qualitative Comparative Analysis), to delve into the intricate causal nexuses within these ecosystems that propel entrepreneurial performance within the unique context of China's rural landscape. The findings reveal that: (1) individual components of the entrepreneurial ecosystem do not independently guarantee high-quality entrepreneurial decisions; rather, robust social norms emerge as a more ubiquitous factor in fostering such quality. (2) Three distinct pathways underpin high-quality entrepreneurial decisions: a cognitive-informational dual-propulsion mechanism, a cognitively inclined resource-driven approach, and a cognitively communal driver. (3) there is one path that drives non-high entrepreneurial decisions, and they are related to the entrepreneurial performance of high entrepreneurial performance. They are asymmetrically related to the entrepreneurial ecosystem that produces high entrepreneurial performance.
