Advancing the Field of Family Business Research: Further Testing the Measurement Properties of the F-PEC
基于831家家族企业数据，检验了Klein等人提出的家族影响力量表（F-PEC）的结构效度和收敛效度，发现文化、权力和经验三因子模型成立，且量表得分与代际意愿和承诺相关，初步支持收敛效度。
The field of family business research is advanced by further examining the validity and reliability of Klein, Astrachan, and Smyrnios’s Family Influence on Power, Experience, and Culture Scale. Data from 831 family businesses are analyzed to assess the measure’s construct validity using exploratory and confirmatory techniques. The hypothesized three-factor model emerged to include culture, power, and experience. Extending the previous effort, the measure’s convergent validity was tested by assessing differences between the measure’s scores and the desires of the senior generation and the commitment of the next generation. Results support an initial level of convergent validity.
