Abstract
Despite significant discussion surrounding the benefits of family social capital in family business research, precisely how it is built and maintained by enterprise families remains unclear. To explore how and when family governance practices can avoid the decay of enterprise family social capital, we examine the mediating role of family identity and the significance of both generational and business ownership. Testing of our moderated mediation framework using data from 175 enterprise families globally suggests that family governance can stimulate family social capital by strengthening family identity. We also find a negative moderating role for business ownership in this indirect relationship.
期刊介绍:
Family Business Review (FBR) has been a refereed journal since 1988, serving as the premier scholarly publication dedicated to the study of family-controlled enterprises. It delves into the dynamics of these businesses, encompassing a range of sizes from small to very large. FBR concentrates not only on the entrepreneurial founding generation but also on family enterprises in subsequent generations, including some of the world's oldest companies. The journal also publishes interdisciplinary research covering families of wealth, family foundations, and offices.
