“…This finding helps extend previous studies focusing on the effect of ESO on performance (Amankwah‐Amoah et al, ; Roxas et al, ). With this finding, this study has thus linked the natural RBV perspective (Hart, ) with family business literature (Allen, George, & Davis, ; Frank, Kessler, Rusch, Suess‐Reyes, & Weismeier‐Sammer, ) by moving beyond the conventional assumption that greater ESO automatically generates superior firm performance. By this result, the study demonstrates that firms with greater ESO are better positioned to gain superior performance than nonfamily firms.…”

Environmental sustainability orientation and performance of family and nonfamily firms

Despite the growing research evidence on the effect of environmental sustainability orientation (ESO) on firm outcomes, contingent factors that may influence the strength of this relationship have received little scholarly attention. In this study, we use insights from the literature on ESO and family business to introduce family status and firm age as moderators in the ESO-performance linkage. Using timelagged data from 253 small and medium-sized enterprises in Ghana, we found the impact of ESO on firm performance is amplified for nonfamily firms but not significant for family firms. Our evidence suggests it is stronger among older firms than younger ones. Implications and directions for future research are discussed.

“…Specifically, these authors propose that distinctive familiness resources in multigenerational family firms are positively associated with EO. Theoretical debates and difficulties in measurement have hindered the empirical exploration of familiness (Frank, Kessler, Rusch, Suess-Reyes, & Weismeier-Sammer, 2017;Zellweger et al, 2010), preventing empirical testing of Irava and Moores' (2010) propositions.…”

Despite several calls for the further study of entrepreneurial orientation in family firms, we still have a fragmented understanding of this topic, whose full potential has yet to be reached. To shed new light on this issue, this paper first maps the family business field by carrying out a systematic review and content analysis of the 78 articles identified at the confluence of entrepreneurial orientation and family firms. Our study describes and critically assesses previous research as well as the conclusions reached. Second, this paper identifies the main research gaps and provides a path for future investigations.

Due to consumers’ increased demand for leisure and farmers’ need for income diversification, researchers and policymakers have significant interest in topics related to agritourism. This study provides a supply‐side analysis on agritourism using Taiwan as a case study. Utilising a sample of 720,148 family farms from the 2010 agriculture census survey in Taiwan, we quantify the effects of engaging in the agritourism business on farm income, on farm succession, and on family members’ labour supply decisions between on‐farm and off‐farm work. An analytical framework that combines the doubly robustness regression model and semiparametric estimation is proposed to address the endogeneity bias. Results indicate that participation in agritourism increases farm income and family farm succession. Farms engaging in agritourism also have more family members working on the farm, and fewer family members working off‐farm, compared to farms not engaging in agritourism. Although agritourism enterprises are developed to meet consumers’ demand for leisure, our results show that they also improve the economic welfare of farm households.
