“…But, there is still a need to learn about the potential effects of FIM on this relationship in specific contexts. Several authors studied the direct effect of FIM on EO and behaviors (Salvato, 2004; Kellermanns et al , 2008), but, fewer have explored the contingency role of FIM on the EO – FP relationship (Vecchiarini and Mussolino, 2013; Casillas and Moreno, 2010; Hatak et al , 2016; Akhtar et al , 2015; Sciascia et al , 2010).…”

“…Since the last decade, researchers become interested by studying EO in family firms and its influence on family firm performance (FFP hereafter) in different sectors and contexts (Akhtar et al , 2015; Casillas et al , 2011; Hernández-Perlines et al , 2017; Naldi et al , 2007; Peters and Kallmuenzer, 2018; Schepers et al , 2014; Sciascia et al , 2010; Serafimovska and Stefanovska Ceravolo, 2013; Stenholm et al , 2016; Tomski, 2014; Vecchiarini and Mussolino, 2013; Yordanova, 2011; Zahra, 2005; Zainol, 2013; Zellweger et al , 2010; Zellweger and Sieger, 2012).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to contribute to family firm and entrepreneurship literature by providing an examination of how family involvement in management (FIM) moderates the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation (EO)’s dimensions and family firm performance (FFP). Design/methodology/approach Through a survey study, the research was developed using a sample of 175 family firms in Saudi Arabia to test the proposed hypotheses using hierarchical linear regression. Findings The findings revealed a strong positive and significant linkage of proactiveness and FIM with FFP, but, no significant relationship between innovativeness and risk-taking with FFP. However, when FIM contingencies were hypothesized, a new significant influence from the interaction between risk-taking and FIM on FFP was found. Research limitations/implications The main limitation lies in the fact that it is not possible to claim generalization of findings to family firms in other emerging or transitional countries as the research is focused on Saudi family firms. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed in order to produce new knowledge on EO of family firms and to help these firms not consider FIM as an impediment to the development of resources and capabilities necessary to the promotion of entrepreneurial activities within their operations. Originality/value There is a contribution to the literature on EO by showing that EO construct and its dimensions have great generality within family firms in a transitional context.

A review of entrepreneurship literature suggests that entrepreneurial activities are the most important drivers for economic growth and corporate success, regardless of size, age or industry. Nevertheless, so far, only a few studies, if any, have considered entrepreneurship as a success factor for construction enterprises, although the importance of the construction industry to the nation's economic growth is significant. This paper reports a conceptual framework for formulating the success and survival factors of entrepreneurs in the construction industry. It also integrates four major perspectives in entrepreneurship: entrepreneurial orientation, entrepreneurial organization, entrepreneurial competencies and entrepreneurial environment.

“…Studies of EO in healthcare are relevant and timely because healthcare managers are now turning to entrepreneurial activities to generate innovative strategies and remain competitive in a turbulent environment (Vecchiarini and Mussolino, 2013). In a pioneering study, Hinz and Ingerfurth (2013) found a positive EO-performance relationship among hospitals across environmental conditions.…”

PurposeAmong healthcare professionals, burnout is one of the key challenges affecting organizational outcomes, employee productivity and quality of care. The knowledge of burnout and its root causes and primary contributors continues to grow yet remains limited. In many environments, an entrepreneurial orientation (EO) has been shown to dramatically improve organizational outcomes and performance. The purpose of this paper is to illustrate critical research areas at the intersection of organizational EO and employee burnout within the healthcare sector.Design/methodology/approachA conceptual model which considers how EO has the potential to provide an operational context that may negate, lessen or delay the negative effects of burnout among healthcare professionals, is advanced as a useful focal point to foster research exploring connections between organizational orientation and employee well-being.FindingsInsights into how an opportunity-embracing EO characteristic of high-tech firms may shape how stress is experienced and address burnout when applied to healthcare organizations. A decrease in burnout stands to improve quality of care as well as the satisfaction of staff and patients alike, including a greater sense of autonomy, engagement, motivation and passion.Originality/valueThis research agenda proposes new insights and the need for additional research into how the manifestation of organizational EO may contribute to the field of medicine, influence burnout and enhance the well-being among healthcare professionals.
