Abstract

Purpose The aim of this study was to obtain evidence of the practical significance of the generational involvement (GI) of top management teams (TMT) on the nexus between entrepreneurial orientation (EO) and business performance (BP) in small family businesses (SFBs). Design/methodology/approach This study employed a questionnaire survey of 112 Malaysian SFBs. The data was analyzed using descriptive analysis, hierarchical multiple regression analysis and a two-way interaction model. Findings The results indicate that SFBs have a positive EO–BP nexus. However, the study found that TMT-GI has a negative effect on EO and reduces the positive nexus between EO and BP. Specifically, higher levels of GI were associated with lower levels of EO and weaker BP. Research limitations/implications The study raises the necessity for SFBs to seek out a management mechanism and structure to balance the entrepreneurial boundary between the family-level and the business-level when there is increased GI. Additionally to the current, incorporating family TMT-related human ecology aspect of GI with the family business field could lead to a new research value stream. Practical implications The results of this study will enable family business decision makers and TMT to better understand the importance of considering family factors in their management strategies. Originality/value This analysis highlights the spatial relation of family-level logic in dominating EO–BP nexus at intervals in SFBs, where family factor of TMT-GI will be a key moderator.

家族层面的代际参与:对小型家族企业创业导向与企业绩效关系的影响
摘要目的本研究旨在为小型家族企业(SFBs)高层管理团队代际参与(GI)对创业导向(EO)与经营绩效(BP)之间关系的现实意义提供证据。设计/方法/方法本研究采用问卷调查112名马来西亚SFBs。采用描述性分析、层次多元回归分析和双向交互模型对数据进行分析。结果表明,SFBs具有正的EO-BP联系。然而,研究发现TMT-GI对EO有负面影响,并减少EO与BP之间的积极联系。具体而言,较高的GI水平与较低的EO水平和较弱的BP相关。研究的局限性/启示本研究提出中小企业有必要寻找一种管理机制和结构来平衡家庭层面和企业层面之间的创业边界。此外,将家族tmt相关的地理标志人类生态方面与家族企业领域相结合,可以形成新的研究价值流。本研究的结果将使家族企业决策者和TMT更好地理解在其管理策略中考虑家族因素的重要性。独创性/价值本分析强调了家族层面逻辑在SFBs中占主导地位的EO-BP联系的空间关系,其中TMT-GI的家族因素将是关键的调节因子。
