家族成员心理所有权对家族企业创业导向的影响

Influence of family members’psychological ownership on entrepreneurial orientation of family firms

家族企业是中国民营企业的重要构成。创业导向对于推动我国家族企业转型升级和持续成长具有重要作用。文章研究了家族成员心理所有权对家族企业创业导向的影响,同时考察了家族涉入(家族管理权、家族代数)、制度环境对家族成员心理所有权与家族企业创业导向关系的调节效应,利用中国东西部地区家族企业的问卷调查数据,实证检验发现:第一,家族成员心理所有权对家族企业创业导向有显著的正向影响;第二,家族管理权对家族成员心理所有权与家族企业创业导向关系起正向调节作用,即随着家族管理权的增大,家族成员心理所有权对家族企业创业导向的正向影响增大;第三,管理企业的家族代数和制度环境对家族成员心理所有权与家族企业创业导向关系起负向调节作用,即随着管理企业家族代数的增加或家族企业所处制度环境的改善,家族成员心理所有权对家族企业创业导向的正向影响减小。文章丰富了新兴经济体家族企业创业导向前因研究成果,同时也为我国家族企业创业实践提供了重要启示。

Family firms are the predominant form of business organization in China.Entrepreneurship orientation(EO)plays an important role in promoting the transformation and upgrading of family firms and their sustainable growth in China.This paper aims to explore the effect of family members’psychological ownership on entrepreneurial orientation of family firms,and to examine the moderating effects of family involvement(i.e.,family management,family generation)and institutional environment in this relationship using the data of family firms in Eastern and Western China.The result reveals that family members’psychological ownership positively impacts entrepreneurial orientation of family firms.The result also shows that family management positively moderates the relationship between family members’psychological ownership and entrepreneurial orientation of family firms.That is,as family management increases,the positive effect of family members’psychological ownership on EO of family firms increase.In addition,family generation in management and institutional environment negatively moderate the relationship between family members’psychological ownership and entrepreneurial orientation of family firms.That is,as family generation in management increases,or institutional environment improves,the positive effects of family members’psychological ownership on EO of family firms decrease.This paper not only enriches the existing researches on antecedents of family firm entrepreneurial orientation in emerging economies,but also provides enlightenment for family firms’entrepreneurship in China.
