“…Therefore, it becomes essential to address employee silence in family firms and to view it as a priority for promoting and implementing an entrepreneurial orientated mindset, determinant for the family firms' success. With this in mind and grounded on the socioemotional wealth theory (Gómez-Mejía et al, 2007), oftentimes accepted as the dominant paradigm in the field of family business (Aparicio et al, 2021;Berrone et al, 2012), we performed an empirical study using data collected from family firms from Portugal, a country where family firms are under-researched even though they make up the backbone of the economy. This paper has three main objectives: (1) assess differences between the levels of employee silence in family and nonfamily firms, (2) examine the perceptions of the firm's entrepreneurial orientation of employees working in family and non-family firms, and (3) assess, in family firms, the relationship between the levels of employees' silence and their perceptions on the firm's entrepreneurial orientation.…”

This paper aims to assess differences between employees of family and non-family firms regarding their levels of employee silence and their perceptions of the company’s entrepreneurial orientation. Moreover, focusing on family firms, we assess the relationship between the levels of employees’ silence and their perceptions of the firm’s entrepreneurial orientation. The empirical evidence is provided by a sample of 245 Portuguese employees, 117 employees of family firms, and 128 of non-family firms, who responded to a questionnaire that included employee silence and entrepreneurial orientation measures. Results reveal that family firms’ employees show higher levels of employee silence but perceive their companies as less entrepreneurially oriented than employees of non-family companies. In addition, our results do not support the idea that there is a relationship between the levels of employee silence and the employee’s perception of the company’s entrepreneurial orientation. This paper offers initial insights into the debate on the relationship between the levels of employee silence and the employee’s perception of the company’s entrepreneurial orientation in family firms.

“…Our systematic review was carried out by accessing the ISI Web of Knowledge (SSCI) database during the month of January 2021. This database has long been considered "the 'gold standard' in measuring scholars performance" (Aparicio et al, 2021). It has been used in many bibliometric studies (Brito Ochoa, Sacristan-Navarro and Pelechano-Barahona, 2020) as well as the rankings of many international universities (Harzing and Alakangas, 2016).…”

Bibliometric analysis is the application of statistical methods to quantitatively analyze scientific publications. It makes it possible to evaluate the production of a laboratory, a journal or a field of research. The objective of this study is to carry out an analysis of the scientific literature published on succession in the field of family business over the last thirty years. Two different types of indicators were used. The first concerns the activity indicators, which provides information about the productivity of journals and authors. The second is about co-citation analysis which gives an idea of the links between researchers, and co-word analysis which identifies interactions and relationships between different research topics. The results obtained reveal that it is a relatively recent area of research with strong connections between authors. Gaps in the literature as well as future research directions are also presented.

PurposeIt is widely accepted that coauthorship and collaboration promotes intellectual partnerships and improves the quality of publications. This paper examines the relationship between collaboration, productivity and publications in the field of family business.Design/methodology/approachThe authors identify the most prolific authors, affiliations and countries and focus on the evolution of research in the field of family business. In doing so, the authors employ social network analysis to discover the structure of the networks and the ways in which authors, institutions and countries interact.FindingsThe empirical results show that collaboration is positively related to productivity, and there is significant evidence that the shaped networks exhibit small-world characteristics, a condition in which collaboration within authors becomes integrated in conjunction with time.Practical implicationsThe findings highlight the mechanics of collaborative research production and can be useful to understand the importance of collaboration patterns to be followed in the field of family business.Originality/valueThe contributions are as follows: (a) application of social network analysis to model the coauthorship patterns among individuals, institutions and countries in family business; (b) distinguishing the most degree-central authors in the social network of collaborating academics; (c) investigation of the academic collaborations in family business that have the characteristics of a small-world social network and (d) suggesting a unique connection, through published keywords, between the research priorities of the most central or prolific authors with the research trends in the family business literature. The authors demonstrate that authors' collaboration becomes integrated in conjunction with time.
