“…Our study was guided by the Gioia Methodology (Gioia et al, 2013), which has been employed by past studies taking an abductive research approach (e.g. Christou, Hadjielias, & Farmaki, 2019;Glyptis et al, 2021). Under an abductive logic, the data analysis develops new theory through an iterative 'back and forth' process between the data and the literature (Dubois & Gadde, 2002).…”

The psychological resilience of owner-managers provides novel insights towards a better understanding of small business resilience during exogenous shocks, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Psychological resilience involves an individual's ability to adapt or thrive in the face of life's adversities and uncertainties. We conduct a longitudinal qualitative study, collecting data from 35 small business owner-managers between April and December 2020. We reveal a sequential process centred on owner-managers and on their abilities to build-up or strengthen any personal and leadership resilient capacities, which appear to be prerequisites for the establishment of resilient actions at the level of the small business. We contribute theoretically by conceptualizing the links and path dependencies between personal, leadership (role), and organizational resilience in small businesses. In conclusion, our study provides practical implications on essential personal-level responses that can guide the leadership role of owner-managers in the midst of the continuing COVID-19 pandemic.

“…Regarding CAs, family social capital seems to play a relevant role for success in the knowledge application phase (Chirico and Salvato, 2016). The more established the family social capital is within the family business, the more probable it will be that these businesses own valuable tacit knowledge about the firms’ processes as well as have lower governance costs (Glyptis et al , 2021). Consequently, these factors will facilitate family firms to benefit from the application of knowledge.…”

“…The work by Cano-Rubio et al (2021) suggests that familiness influences the strategy of a family business to internationalize. Glyptis, Hadjielias, Christofi, Kvasova, and Vrontis (2021), in addition, suggest that dynamic capabilities evolve in relation to familiness, thus facilitating business growth.…”

Whilst knowledge integration has been deemed as relevant for the development and survival of family firms, prior studies suggest that the lack of skills to combine and transfer incumbent family members' knowledge within the family may hinder family firms' organizational effectiveness. Knowledge integration, in this context, might depend on family involvement in ownership, management and governance, and family essence, considering the emotional and relational aspects of the influence the family exerts onto the business. Relying on knowledge-based view and dynamic capabilities perspectives, we propose a model suggesting that knowledge integration intervenes in the relationship between familiness and organizational effectiveness. Our hypotheses are tested on a sample of 102 private Spanish family businesses. The results reveal that familiness is beneficial for knowledge integration, enhancing family firms' organizational effectiveness. Our study provides practical implications for family business owners and managers, and opportunities for further research.
