Abstract
This study examines the performance of family businesses through the theoretical lenses of dynamic capabilities and socioemotional wealth. A conceptual model is proposed, in which socioemotional wealth moderates the relationship between dynamic capabilities and family firm performance. The research employs partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM), a second-generation multivariate analysis technique, to analyze data and test hypotheses. The findings reveal that dynamic capabilities positively influence family firm performance, with innovation emerging as the most impactful dynamic capability. Additionally, socioemotional wealth not only directly enhances performance but also acts as a moderator, strengthening the relationship between dynamic capabilities and performance. This study makes two key contributions. First, it advances the understanding of how dynamic capabilities and socioemotional wealth shape family firm performance. Second, it underscores the pivotal role of socioemotional wealth in amplifying the effects of dynamic capabilities on performance. These insights have significant practical implications for family firms, emphasizing the importance of strategically managing both dynamic capabilities and socioemotional wealth to drive performance and ensure long-term sustainability.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Innovation and Knowledge (JIK) explores how innovation drives knowledge creation and vice versa, emphasizing that not all innovation leads to knowledge, but enduring innovation across diverse fields fosters theory and knowledge. JIK invites papers on innovations enhancing or generating knowledge, covering innovation processes, structures, outcomes, and behaviors at various levels. Articles in JIK examine knowledge-related changes promoting innovation for societal best practices.
JIK serves as a platform for high-quality studies undergoing double-blind peer review, ensuring global dissemination to scholars, practitioners, and policymakers who recognize innovation and knowledge as economic drivers. It publishes theoretical articles, empirical studies, case studies, reviews, and other content, addressing current trends and emerging topics in innovation and knowledge. The journal welcomes suggestions for special issues and encourages articles to showcase contextual differences and lessons for a broad audience.
In essence, JIK is an interdisciplinary journal dedicated to advancing theoretical and practical innovations and knowledge across multiple fields, including Economics, Business and Management, Engineering, Science, and Education.
