“…Thus, support is given to the idea that family firms facing stressful scenarios can control psychological risk at work by managing job demand and resources in order to enhance continuity and survive. Literature on family businesses shows these organizations as highly resilient and suggests that owners-managers look to continue operating despite minimal financial reward and highly adverse conditions ( Glover and Reay, 2015 ; Llanos-Contreras et al, 2020 ; Mahto et al, 2022 ). However, in this work, it is suggested that keeping workers’ occupational health under control is central to meet this aim, and for this family, firms need to be aware of the effect of their decisions on JD-R.…”

“…This study makes contributions for theory and practice. In terms of theoretical contributions: First, contributions are made to the literature on how family firms face severe external shocks and survive ( Marshall and Schrank, 2020 ; Mahto et al, 2022 ). Family firms are particularly acknowledged for their priority of preserving the firm through generations which leads them to do everything within their reach to overcome difficulties and survive.…”

“…However, it has never been tested for the assessment of employees’ satisfaction and burnout in family firms when these are facing adverse scenarios. There is research studying family firms’ post-disaster performance and behaviors ( Marshall et al, 2015 ; Alonso-Dos-Santos and Llanos-Contreras, 2019 ; Salvato et al, 2020 ; Mahto et al, 2022 ). These studies acknowledged these firms’ abilities to adapt to challenging conditions, take risks, and leverage all their available resources to survive.…”

“…In this way, we contribute to family firm theory by making progress in the understanding of how these organizations can manage adverse scenarios to survive and continue operations ( Marshall and Schrank, 2020 ; Mahto et al, 2022 ). Particularly, this research focused on determining job resources and demand that need to be correctly managed in order to keep psychological risk at work under control.…”

This research aims to explore how work demands and resource variables affect the burnout and satisfaction of employees of family businesses in the context of the pandemic (COVID-19) and the moderation effect of fear of COVID-19 on this relationship. A sample of 214 Chilean family business employees is used for hypotheses testing. Results indicate that the demands and resources partially explain the burnout and satisfaction of employees of family firms during the pandemic. Employees’ fear of COVID-19 moderates the relationship between resources-demands and burnout-job satisfaction in family firms. This work contributes to understanding how these organizations can manage adverse scenarios to survive and continue operations.

“…Contemporary markets are characterized by being highly turbulent, dynamic, and presently highly unstable which requires firms to develop advanced dynamic capabilities to overcome the challenges and threats related to the new political, social and economic situation (Pacheco et al, 2022;Mahto et al, 2022). Currently, wellestablished management methods are increasingly being questioned, which have proved ineffective in the face of the pandemic and war in Ukraine.…”

Knowledge management (KM) is described as a crucial element for business success and competitiveness. KM practices are commonly linked to continuous business renewal, productivity and efficiency improvement. Building knowledge-based resources (KBRs) in the organization is of particular importance, as they create opportunity to achieve a competitive advantage, develop market share, and strengthen the overall performance of the firm. It should be remembered that KBRs are always strongly related to human resources and refer to such attributes as individual knowledge, abilities, skills, experience and innovation. The main aim of the article is to identify the relationship between selected areas of KBRs and the change in the firm's market share. To realize of the main aim, the survey study was developed on a group of 355 enterprises in Poland in early 2022. The respondents, who represent managerial stuff or firms‘ owners, express opinions on selected KBR elements using a 5-point Likert scale. To analyze the research results, the common statistical methods in management studies were used, as descriptive statistics and Kendall Tau correlation analysis. As a main conclusion, there are positive correlation between selected KBRs and firm’s market share. Hence, building and constant renewal of KBRs brings several advantages for organizations, including development of market share, and, consequently, competitiveness improvement.

This study investigates the intricate relationship between natural disasters and regional entrepreneurship in Türkiye, a developing nation highly vulnerable to earthquakes, floods, and other hazards. The study extends Hierarchical Multiple Regression (HMR) analysis (1990–2020, 81 NUTS-III regions), beyond existing literature focused on physical damage. Our findings reveal a counterintuitive effect: while the number of disasters and total property damage correlate positively with regional entrepreneurship, human life loss has a negative impact. This suggests a complex interplay between destruction and entrepreneurial spirit. Further analyses using Discriminant Function Analysis (DFA) and MANOVA-ANOVA for robustness check explores regional characteristics that contribute to entrepreneurial resilience against natural disasters. By comparing regions categorized by entrepreneurial performance and disaster exposure, the study identifies key differentiators. Regions with supportive business environments demonstrate greater resilience, highlighting the crucial role of fostering a strong entrepreneurial ecosystem in mitigating disaster effects. This research fills a critical gap by examining the understudied relationship between natural disasters and regional entrepreneurship, going beyond individual firm-level studies. By analysing interregional disparities and resilience factors, this paper provides valuable insights for both regional development and entrepreneurship & resilience literature. It emphasizes the importance of human capital alongside disaster preparedness and institutional quality in building regional resilience.
