Implications of Family Business Employment for Employees’ Innovative Work Involvement
基于893名比利时员工样本，研究发现家族企业就业与员工创新工作投入正相关，部分原因在于员工感知到的组织支持和工作动机更强。
This study builds on the idea that family businesses perform particularly well in the domain of exploitative innovations and explores a possible source of this strength, namely their employees’ spontaneous involvement in informal innovation activity. Specifically, we develop a mediation model on the interrelationship between family business employment and employees’ innovative work involvement. Analyses are based on a sample of 893 Belgian employees using structural equation modeling. Results suggest that family business employment is positively associated with employees’ innovative work involvement, and that part of this relationship can be attributed to their heightened perceptions of organizational support and work motivation.
