Abstract

Purpose

This perspective paper explores ongoing research into stimuli that promote environmental responsibility in family business contexts. It also delineates emerging patterns and possible directions for future research within this domain.

Design/methodology/approach

The authors synthesise, critically assess and integrate existing research to make current thinking about the environmental responsibility of family businesses more accessible to a wide range of readers.

Findings

This paper offers a comprehensive overview of multifaceted triggers and sheds light on how they interact and influence the environmental performance of family businesses. The authors delve into family dynamics and values, examining how they enable a business to develop environmental responsibility practices. Simultaneously, the authors emphasise the importance of probing the impact of the macro environment within which family businesses operate, which either might incentivise or challenge their pursuit of environmental responsibility initiatives. The need to design a robust tool to measure the environmental consciousness of familiness, applicable to specific contextual settings, has been identified. Investigating how accounting and control systems act as supportive management tools to enhance the efficacy of overall corporate performance in family businesses is another area for future research. Moreover, examining these dynamics within the unique landscape of emerging economies offers a promising field of exploration.

Originality/value

This article consolidates existing research on the environmental responsibility of family businesses and puts forward potential avenues for future research.

家族企业的环境责任:透视论文
目的本视角论文探讨了在家族企业背景下促进环境责任的激励因素方面正在进行的研究。研究结果本文全面概述了多方面的诱因,并阐明了这些诱因如何相互作用并影响家族企业的环境绩效。作者深入探讨了家族动态和价值观,研究了它们如何使企业发展环境责任实践。同时,作者强调了探究家族企业所处的宏观环境影响的重要性,因为这种影响可能会激励或挑战家族企业对环境责任的追求。作者认为有必要设计一种适用于特定环境的强大工具来衡量家族企业的环境意识。调查会计和控制系统如何作为支持性管理工具,提高家族企业整体绩效的效率,是未来研究的另一个领域。此外,在新兴经济体的独特环境中研究这些动态,也是一个很有前景的探索领域。
