“…From the 124 reviewed papers, an inductive reasoning approach was applied that sought to identify patterns in the material to form an informative and logical conceptual framework (Hair et al . ). Through multiple rounds of reviewing, five topic areas were identified: family business goal antecedents; family business goal characteristics; family business goal‐related outcomes; family business goal outcome moderators; and the family business goal feedback loop.…”

Goals are a key differentiator between family businesses and non-family businesses.To improve understanding of this topic, the authors take stock of what they know about goals in family business. They synthesize prior research findings and classify the research into five categories: family business goal antecedents; goal characteristics; goal-related outcomes; moderators of goal outcomes; and feedback loop. The paper concludes by highlighting future research to advance both family business goal and general management research.

Globalization and interdependencies among nations require a better understanding of the influence of culture on organizational processes. In order to succeed in global business, leaders have to respond to practices that may be different in diverse cultures. This study was conducted within the framework of the leader member exchange approach and from a positive perspective of organizations linking successful businesses and workers’ well-being. The aim of this study was to examine whether the quality of the relationship with the leader predicts engagement and life satisfaction, and whether resilience moderates this relationship in two different cultural contexts (Spanish and Chinese). The sample was composed of 277 workers (127 Chinese workers corresponding to a vertical-collectivistic culture and 150 Spanish workers representing a horizontal-individualistic culture). To test the hypotheses, a structural equations model (SEM) was conducted using the maximum likelihood (ML) estimation method. Results revealed that leader-member exchange (LMX) positively predicts engagement and life satisfaction and that the moderator role of resilience varies across cultures. Resilience moderated the relationship between LMX and engagement and life satisfaction only in the Spanish sample. In the Chinese sample, resilience only moderated the relation between LMX and life satisfaction. Finally, our study contributes to a better understanding of the relationship between leaders and subordinates operating in a global context.

“…A sample size of 79 was used in the study. The respondents were selected using stratified sampling technique which is a method by which the population is divided into homogeneous, mutually exclusive segments, groups or levels of a population called 'strata' and independent samples are then randomly selected from each stratum (Altinay, Paraskevas, & Jang, 2015;Hair, Celsi, Money, Samouel, & Page, 2016;Bordens & Abbott, 2017;Salkind, 2017). The data was gathered using questionnaires which are set of questions to be used on a survey and where respondents are asked, with instructions that are appropriate showing which questions are supposed to be asked, and in what order (Sreejesh, Mohapatra, & Anusree, 2014;Ruel, Wagner, & Gillespie, 2016;Spickard, 2017).…”

The study sought to understand the determinants of implementation of e-procurement in higher learning institutions and in particular at a case of Rongo University. The study had two objectives namely: To determine the effect of training on implementation of eprocurement in Rongo University, and; To determine the effect of supplier adoption on implementation of e-procurement in Rongo University. The technology acceptance model and diffusion of innovations theories are the models used for this study. A descriptive research design was adopted to achieve the objectives and a quantitative method was employed to gather data from staff of Rongo University. A sample size of 79 respondents was purposively selected. A questionnaire was used to collect data which was then analyzed using descriptive statistics. Multiple regression analysis was used to show the relationship between the independent and dependent variables. The study findings revealed that the employees of the Rongo University perceived training as being central to effective adoption of e-procurement. The study therefore recommended that Rongo University should establish e-procurement team with information technology expertise and constantly improve their knowledge and skills through regular training. The study equally recommended that the top management should remain committed towards the implementation process of the e-procurement in the university.
