Family firm performance: The influence of entrepreneurial orientation and absorptive capacity
研究了创业导向和吸收能力对218家西班牙家族企业绩效的影响，发现吸收能力完全中介了创业导向与绩效的关系。
Abstract This article investigates the influence of entrepreneurial orientation and absorptive capacity on family firm performance. Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS‐SEM) was used to analyze empirical data for 218 Spanish family firms. Absorptive capacity positively mediated the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and family firm performance. This total mediation effect suppressed the direct effect of entrepreneurial orientation on family firm performance. A major implication of this finding is that for family firms to improve their performance through entrepreneurial orientation, absorptive capacity must act as a mediator.
