“…This result is seen as advancements in theory, which strongly respond to calls from prior studies by other researchers (e.g. Gomez-Limon et al, 2014;Xu et al, 2018;Chmel ıkov a et al, 2019;Sanchez-Famoso et al, 2020). This new measurement will be very useful for studies that apply the theories of SC, human resources or intellectual capital.…”

“…For example, some aspects of SC applied include bonding and bridging dimensions (Morrow et al, 2017;Xu et al, 2018), bonding, bridging and linking dimensions (Cofr e-Bravo et al, 2019), trust (Coleman, 1988), relationships as network ties (Seghers et al, 2012), rules and norms governing social actions (Coleman, 1988;Fukuyama, 2001), informal or formal social ties, trust, norms of collective action (Calcagnini and Perugini, 2019), strong and weak ties of SC (Pirolo and Presutti, 2010), social interactions, trust, shared vision and involvement of local institutions (Molina-Morales and Mart ınez-Fern andez, 2010). In brief, from recent calls by Xu et al (2018), Chmel ıkov a et al Sanchez-Famoso et al (2020) about the growing need to develop an integrative measurement scale of SC that captures its complexity, this study intends to develop a new integrated measurement that should be explored in the agribusiness before investigating its full effect on psychological factors relating to diversifying agribusiness.…”

PurposeCoronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has seriously affected the global economy. How agribusinessmen are overcoming this crisis is being noticed in emerging markets. Using social capital to diversify agribusiness for getting more customers is a useful solution for the growth of agribusiness. However, there is a lack of evidence on the aggregate measurement scale of social capital and the influence of behavioral goals on the intention toward agribusiness diversification. Therefore, this study aims to develop an integrated measurement of social capital and investigate its effect on agribusiness diversification intention using the expanded theory of planned behavior (TPB).Design/methodology/approachA mixed-methods approach is used, including four in-depth interviews, three focus group discussions and two surveys. Structural equation modeling is applied to a sample of 484 respondents to test the proposed hypotheses.FindingsThe study shows the role of social capital in influencing the intention to diversify agribusiness under the premises of the resource-based view (RBV). The scale of social capital is also developed, which is the first integrated measurement of this asset. The findings contribute significantly to the existing knowledge of social capital, the TPB and diversifying agribusiness.Originality/valueThis is the first study to explore the comprehensive effect of the facets of social capital on behavioral intention through behavioral goals and determinants of the TPB under the premises of the RBV. The findings will help emerging economies, for example, Vietnam, where most farmers are family business owners or microscaled entrepreneurs in agriculture.

“…Besides, social capital is measured through its three dimensions, seen as three social capital types (Lang et al, 2021b). Structural social capital refers to networks' interaction and structural features (Sanchez-Famoso et al, 2020) and defined as "the patterns and strength of ties between the members of a group" (Nahapiet and Ghoshal, 1998, p. 244). CSC refers to perceived shared norms (Liao and Welsch, 2005) as resources providing "shared representations, interpretations, and systems of meaning among parties, which reflects the members' collective of the organization's culture, shared vision and purpose, common language and codes" (Nahapiet and Ghoshal, 1998, p. 244).…”

PurposeThe crucial action program of United Nations is sustainable development. In the context of lockdown and food supply chain disruptions in many developing countries due to COVID-19, sustainable agribusiness entrepreneurship (SAE) must be investigated to contribute to the global safe-food supply chain resilience. Furthermore, this pandemic might have changed cognitive social capital (i.e. perceived shared norms, civicness and community cohesiveness) and relational social capital (i.e. social trust). Therefore, this study aims to examine their role in forming agribusiness entrepreneurs’ SAE intentions under the lens of sustainable development in the pandemic context.Design/methodology/approachThis study uses a mixed-methods approach with resources for structural equation modeling. A sample of 499 Vietnamese agribusiness entrepreneurs to reconcile scales and test hypothesized relationships.FindingsThe study reconciles the existing constructs’ scales and develops a new scale measuring SAE intention. The findings show that the extended theory of planned behavior (ETPB) model is an ideal theoretical framework for predicting behavioral intentions in sustainability. The study also discovers the role of cognitive social capital and relational social capital in motivating SAE intentions. Also, some managerial implications are suggested for agribusinessmen to survive and succeed during the COVID-19 crisis.Originality/valueTo the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is considered the first to investigate the role of cognitive social capital and relational social capital in motivating SAE in an emerging market using the ETPB. The findings will help emerging economies, where most farmers are family-business owners or micro-scaled entrepreneurs who have been facing the increasing trend of sustainable production and consumer.

“…Directors with a high level of internal capital are more likely to have a longer board tenure, and collectivity cohesiveness is prioritised when making decisions (Adler & Kwon, 2002). When the collective goals, in most cases the firm's survival, are not jeopardised, directors are hesitant to change (Sanchez‐Famoso et al, 2020). In our case, the returns of cleaner production eco‐innovation are uncertain, and projects are at high risk (Pan et al, 2021).…”

What to green: Family involvement and different types of eco‐innovation

Research on the relationship between family involvement and eco-innovation presents conflicting results. To address this issue, this study explores the role of family involvement in eco-innovation by dividing it into pollution prevention and cleaner production types. We propose that family involvement positively relates to pollution prevention eco-innovation, but negatively relates to cleaner production eco-innovation. Moreover, we explore the boundary conditions of the proposed relationships.We also contend that internal social capital positively moderates the relationship between family involvement and eco-innovation in both types of eco-innovation, while external social capital exhibits positive and negative moderating impacts on pollution prevention and cleaner production, respectively. Data from Chinese listed firms from 2007 to 2019 support these arguments. This study adds to the family business research and eco-innovation literature by providing a more comprehensive view of the role of family engagement in eco-innovation.
