Abstract

Purpose This study examines how an entrepreneurial mindset influences family firm performance, with a focus on firm age and size as boundary conditions that may enhance or impede this effect. Design/methodology/approach Using micro-level data from 213 family firms in the sports industry in Jammu and Kashmir, India, we employ structural equation modeling (SEM) and multi-group moderation analyses to test our research hypothesis. Findings Our results show that an entrepreneurial mindset serves as a key driver of family firm performance in Indian firms. Additionally, larger and more mature family firms benefit more from acquiring and nurturing an entrepreneurial mindset, suggesting that firm characteristics shape the impact of entrepreneurial strategies on growth. Originality/value This study contributes to the literature on family firm strategy by highlighting the conditional effects of firm age and size on the relationship between entrepreneurial mindset and performance. It provides insights into how family firms in emerging economies can leverage entrepreneurial thinking for sustainable growth.

企业家心态与家族企业绩效：企业年龄和规模的偶然作用

本研究考察了企业家心态如何影响家族企业绩效，重点关注企业年龄和规模作为可能增强或阻碍这种影响的边界条件。使用来自印度查谟和克什米尔体育产业的213家家族企业的微观数据，我们采用结构方程模型（SEM）和多组适度分析来检验我们的研究假设。我们的研究结果表明，企业家心态是印度家族企业绩效的关键驱动因素。此外，规模更大、更成熟的家族企业从获取和培养创业心态中获益更多，这表明企业特征塑造了创业战略对增长的影响。本研究通过突出企业年龄和规模对企业家心态与绩效关系的条件效应，对家族企业战略的文献做出了贡献。它为新兴经济体的家族企业如何利用创业思维实现可持续增长提供了见解。
