- PublicationHow to empower women's entrepreneurship? An analysis of women's sport employment and contextual variables in European Union countries using a fuzzy approachAlthough the number of women entrepreneurs has increased in recent years, it is still lower than that of men. In addition, although the sports sector has been characterized by its growth in recent years and contributes to the GDP of the countries by generating employment, the role that this has within female entrepreneurship has never been analysed. Therefore, the objective of this study is to know the combinations of conditions (female employment in sports, government support, financing for entrepreneurs, perception of entrepreneurial opportunities and capacities, glass ceiling index and masculine values in society) that generate high levels of female entrepreneurship in the countries of the European Union, as these values are closer to the male TEA (Total Early-Stage Entrepreneurial Activity). A total of 13 European countries were analysed using the fsQCA methodology. The results show that, for high levels of female TEA, the main combination is high levels of government support*high levels of glass ceiling index*low levels of masculinity*low levels of opportunities perception and high levels of female employment in sport, explaining 45% of the cases. The results present a series of implications for improving female entrepreneurship in the European Union countries.
- PublicationPost-disaster recovery for family firms: The role of owner motivations, firm resources, and dynamic capabilitiesNatural disasters (e.g., earthquakes and pandemics) negatively affect firms and their stakeholders. These disasters disrupt the operations of firms and lives of people by generating a shock in the system. Small firms are especially vulnerable to the shocks and disturbances resulting from these disasters. Since small firms, especially family firms, are key economic contributors and agents of recovery in any community, understanding their post-disaster recovery processes is critical. Therefore, this study examines the post-disaster recovery processes of small family firms. We utilize a grounded theory approach to analyze and propose that resources and socioemotional wealth priorities influence the post-disaster recovery of small family firms. Utilizing the 8.8 Richter scale earthquake in Chile in 2010 as a natural disaster, we examine the eight-year lagged data of 20 small family firms with disrupted operations. Our findings have important implications for small firms experiencing the negative consequences of disruptions, including those experiencing the COVID-19 pandemic-induced disruption.
- PublicationJob-demand and family business resources in pandemic context: How they influence burnout and job satisfaction(Frontiers in Psychology, 2023)
; ;Ibáñez, María JoséPrado-Gascó, VicenteThis research aims to explore how work demands and resource variables affect the burnout and satisfaction of employees of family businesses in the context of the pandemic (COVID-19) and the moderation effect of fear of COVID-19 on this relationship. A sample of 214 Chilean family business employees is used for hypotheses testing. Results indicate that the demands and resources partially explain the burnout and satisfaction of employees of family firms during the pandemic. Employees’ fear of COVID-19 moderates the relationship between resources-demands and burnout-job satisfaction in family firms. This work contributes to understanding how these organizations can manage adverse scenarios to survive and continue operations. - PublicationFamily business performance in a post-disaster scenario: The influence of socioemotional wealth importance and ntrepreneurial orientationNatural disasters are becoming more frequent and severe and pose a threat to family firms' survival. It is important to address the rarely examined question of how the variables of socioemotional wealth importance (SEWi) and entrepreneurial orientation (EO) interact to influence the performance of family businesses in a post-disaster scenario. This study is based on a sample of 307 family businesses that suffered damage as a result of the 2010 earthquake in the Province of Concepción, Chile. Comparative analysis was performed using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) and qualitative comparative analysis (QCA). The PLS-SEM results support all study hypotheses. The QCA results yield five models that explain post-disaster performance. The model with the greatest coverage includes the EO variables of competitive aggressiveness, internal innovativeness, and external innovativeness. However, SEWi is relevant in terms of its interaction with the rest of the variables in three of the five models.
- PublicationDesarrollo de la actitud emprendedora: Estudio cualitativo de un modelo de formación universitaria(Revista Española de Orientación y Psicopedagogía, 2021)
; ; Yániz-Álvarez-De-Eulate, ConcepciónDesarrollar la actitud emprendedora, componente esencial de la competencia para innovar y emprender, es un objetivo importante de la orientación para el desarrollo profesional propio de la formación universitaria, y una contribución para impulsar el desarrollo económico y social. En esta investigación se estudian las variables principales para la formación de dicha actitud, utilizando un estudio exploratorio basado en un caso único de implementación de un programa universitario de formación de competencias en innovación y emprendimiento llevado a cabo con estudiantes de ingeniería, salud, ciencias sociales, ciencias y economía. Se analiza información proveniente de profesorado, coordinación del programa y estudiantes obtenida con entrevistas, cuestionarios y grupos focales, siguiendo un proceso inductivo-deductivo con ayuda del software MAXQDA12. Este trabajo contribuye al conocimiento del tema: (1) proponiendo la creación de un ecosistema de aprendizaje como el elemento más relevante en la formación de la actitud emprendedora, (2) identificando los elementos que componen dicho ecosistema (programa formativo, estudiantes y ecosistema de emprendimiento regional) y cómo interactúan, y (3) destacando el carácter sistémico del proceso que forma la actitud emprendedora. Como conclusión se observa que la implementación de este programa impulsa la orientación para el desarrollo profesional dentro de la universidad, y de esta con el entorno público y privado que dan forma a un ecosistema de emprendimiento, lo que contribuye con la comprensión del papel que pueden jugar las universidades en la orientación para el desarrollo profesional mediante procesos formativos en emprendimiento y el fortalecimiento de ecosistemas de emprendimiento regional. - PublicationMarketing strategies in family firms(Small Business Institute, 2021)
; ;Alonso Dos Santos, ManuelMahto, RajBranding and reputation plays an important role in determining firm behaviour and outcomes. These well-known marketing concepts have attracted attention of family firm scholars as well. However, despite the significant growth in family firm literature over the last two decades, the application of marketing theories and concepts in family firm context is limited. Thus, there is an urgent need for a better understanding of reputation, branding, communication, and marketing perspectives in family firms. The goal of this special issue is to enhance our understanding of marketing strategies in family firms. This special issue features 5 articles that represents the work of 12 scholars from five different countries. - PublicationGraduating college students apply here: Communicating family firm ownership and firm sizeAttracting business college graduates is a major challenge for the growth and transgenerational success of family firms. Moreover, the institutional context of countries is critical in explaining family firms’ potential advantages and/or disadvantages in attracting nonfamily talent. This study aims to elucidate how communicating firm ownership (family vs. nonfamily), firm size (large vs. small), and type of job offered (professional vs. nonprofessional) influences the perceptions and attitudes of Latin American business graduates toward working in such firms. In an experimental study that uses job advertisement stimuli, we found that communicating family ownership positively influences career development’s perceptions of firm prestige. Large (vs. small) firm size also has a positive influence on job seekers’ perceptions of firms. Importantly, both firm prestige and career development positively influence the attraction of working in family firms. In this paper, we discuss the differences in the results among countries and professional vs. nonprofessional job positions advertised. The results have several implications for family firm owners and managers.
- PublicationEntrepreneurship and risk-taking in a post-disaster scenario(International Entrepreneurship & Management Journal, 2020)
; ;Alonso Dos Santos, ManuelRibeiro-Soriano, DomingoFamily firms’ risk-taking behaviour is central to these firms’ ability to recover from major loses after a natural disaster. Natural disasters pose a threat to family firms’ continuity, a primary goal for this type of firm. Accordingly, it is necessary to understand how socioemotional wealth importance and entrepreneurial orientation interact to influence family firms’ ownership risk, performance hazard risk and control risk in a post-disaster scenario. Using a sample of family firms from the Bío-Bío region in Chile, which was devastated by a massive earthquake in 2010, we performed partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) and fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA). The PLS-SEM results partially support our hypotheses. The fsQCA results provide three, six and seven causal configurations that explain 34%, 67% and 72% of ownership risk, performance hazard risk and control risk, respectively. This article shows that the interaction between socioemotional wealth importance and entrepreneurial orientation is important to explain risk-taking behaviour by family firms in a post-disaster scenario. - PublicationExploring family business decline with socioemotional wealth perspective(Academia-Revista Latinoamericana de Administración, 2019)
; Jabri, MuayyadThe purpose of this paper is to determine how family and business priorities influence organisational decline and turnaround in a family business. Design/methodology/approach – Following critical realism as philosophical orientation, this research is based on an exploratory single case study. Findings–This research identified specific socioemotional wealth priorities driving is organisation decline and turn around. The study also determined how the family and business Dynamic leads to decisions that first trigger the organisational decline and then explain the successful implementation of turnaround strategies. Research limitation/implications – Findings of this research provide limited and contingent theoretical generalisation. Accordingly, replication and further quantitative research is required for a better understanding of this phenomenon. Practical implications – Managers can benefit from this paper by noting which behaviour could lead to organisational decline and which factors could lead to a turnaround. Similarly, managers can learn about the importance of the alignment of socioemotional wealth priorities as a critical response factor to determine whether to follow exit strategies or turnaround (succession) actions. Originality value – The study contributes to the organisational decline literature and family business literature. It advances the understanding of how family businesses should balance family and business priorities to avoid organisational decline and identify strategies success fully implemented for turning around. - PublicationThe influence of emotion in the management of amateur football organizations(Frontiers in psychology, 2020)
; ; ;Prado Gasco, Vicente JavierAlguacil Jiménez, MarioThis article is oriented to the analysis of organizational and emotional variables in amateur sporting organizations. The general objective is to analyze the influence of organizational variables such as service quality, transactional leadership, and transformational leadership and emotional variables such as affective commitment, emotional attachment investment, and emotional attachment dividend to predict the credibility that members of amateur sporting organizations perceive, as well as their degree of identification and loyalty. The opinions of 203 members of Chilean amateur football teams [169 men and 34 women, with ages between 18 and 68 years (mean = 32.75 years, DT = 9.92)] have been analyzed through a self-completed questionnaire. To reach the objectives, two types of differential but complementary analyses, in the form of hierarchical regression models (from hereon, HRMs) and qualitative comparative analysis (from hereon, QCA), were performed. The results obtained suggest that the organizational variables are better predictors than the emotional variables in all of the cases. In the same way, the inclusion of the emotional variables improves the predictive capacity of the proposed models to explain identification and loyalty, but not in the case of credibility. In general, the variables considered seem to explain 37% of the credibility, 56% of loyalty, and 65% of identification. On the other hand, considering the results of the QCA, no variable turned out to be necessary. However, different combinations of variables (conditions) were observed that were able to explain between 47 and 91% of the cases of the variables analyzed. In general, based on these results, it was observed that the emotional variables were important in interaction with other organizational ones since they are present in the three combinations that most explain identification and loyalty and are also present in the three combinations that most explain credibility. This study contributes to the literature by supporting the importance of managing emotions in order for sporting organizations to be more successful.
