Abstract

Purpose

Although the outcomes arising from firms’ interaction with policymakers is a developed theme, family firms’ political credentials and lobbying remain unexplored. To ignite this discourse, the extent to which these factors influence family firms’ tax experience and perception of corruption obstacles is estimated, as well as the impact on sales performance.

Design/methodology/approach

Cross-sectional data from Turkish family firms are examined by a structural equation model. The sample is comprised of 588 family firms spanning 12 regions.

Findings

The paths revealed that family firms’ political credentials do not inherently yield a positive tax experience. Rather, membership of a business association provides a medium to engage in lobbying activity. In turn, this leads to a more positive tax experience but also a greater exposure to corruption. Likewise, informed lobbying increases sales performance while corruption has the reverse effect.

Originality/value

The significant influences of political credentials and lobbying make a novel contribution to organisational field theory. Practically, the study appeals to family firms seeking to ease their tax experience while increasing sales and bypassing corruption.

游说政府的家族企业
目的虽然企业与政策制定者的互动所产生的结果是一个成熟的主题,但家族企业的政治资历和游说活动仍未得到探讨。为了点燃这一话题,我们估算了这些因素对家族企业纳税经验和腐败障碍感知的影响程度,以及对销售业绩的影响。设计/方法/途径通过结构方程模型研究了土耳其家族企业的横截面数据。样本由 588 家家族企业组成,遍布 12 个地区。研究结果研究路径显示,家族企业的政治资历并不必然带来积极的纳税体验。相反,商业协会会员资格为参与游说活动提供了媒介。反过来,这也会带来更积极的税务体验,但也会增加腐败的风险。同样,知情游说会提高销售业绩,而腐败则会产生相反的效果。原创性/价值政治资历和游说的重要影响为组织领域理论做出了新的贡献。在实践中,这项研究对寻求减轻税务负担、提高销售业绩和避免腐败的家族企业很有吸引力。
