A Measure of Variations in Internal Social Capital among Family Firms
基于社会资本文献，开发了一个新工具（ISC-FB）来测量家族企业的内部社会资本，并通过两个独立样本验证了其结构效度，发现该资本影响经济和非经济绩效。
Drawing on the social capital literature, this study develops a new measure to assess the internal social capital using a sample of family firms and its effect on economic and noneconomic performance. We collected data from two independent samples to explore the importance of family businesses’ internal social capital as assessed by a new instrument—the internal social capital among family business (ISC–FB). Results from confirmatory factor analyses, convergent and discriminant validity assessments, and predictive and incremental validity offered support for the ISC–FB's construct validity. Finally, we cross–validated the hypothesized factor structure with a second sample of family firms. Implications and future research using this measure are proposed.
