“…ACAP has been selected due to its relevance for firms when competing in an increasingly competitive environment (Jansen et al, 2005 ). This effect has already been analyzed in a previous work by Hernández-Perlines et al ( 2017 ) for this group of family businesses. The difference with respect to said work is the dependent variable: in the work of Hernández-Perlines et al ( 2017 ), the dependent variable was the performance of family businesses, in this research the dependent variable is the international performance of family businesses.…”

“…In the present work, the same database is shared: 218 Spanish family firm. The difference with the work of Hernández-Perlines et al ( 2017 ) is the dependent variable: in the work of Hernández-Perlines et al ( 2017 ) the performance of the family firm is used, while in the current study it uses international performance of the family firm: in the first case 4 items are used and in this work three types of variables are used (frequency of International activity, satisfaction of International activity, and results of internationalization). It is true that between the two types of performance the correlation is high, in this case 0.754, but it is not the same type of performance.…”

“…The EO has a positive effect on the performance of the company when combined with high levels of ACAP, potential and realized (Sciascia et al, 2014 ). In an earlier paper by Hernández-Perlines et al ( 2017 ), the mediation of ACAP in the influence of IEO on the performance of family firm is already analyzed. In the present work, the same database is shared: 218 Spanish family firm.…”

This study analyzes the effect of conditional mediation of environment-absorptive capacity in international entrepreneurial orientation of family businesses. Results involve data from 218 Spanish family businesses, analyzed with SmartPLS 3.2.7 software. This paper presents a relevant contribution both to the academic field and the performance of family firms, helping to understand the process of transforming international entrepreneurial orientation into a better international performance through absorptive capacity while family businesses invest their efforts in aligning international entrepreneurial orientation and absorptive capacity with international results, bearing in mind the positive moderator effect of environment. The most relevant contribution of this work is to integrate in the same model the mediating effect of the absorption capacity and the moderating effect of the environment: the effect of the international entrepreneurial orientation on the international performance of family businesses improves with the mediation of the absorptive capacity (the variability of international performance goes from 32.5 to 40.6%) and the moderation of the environment (to variability of international performance goes from 40.6 to 45.3%).

“…Third, PLS is often viewed as more appropriate for exploratory purposes (Henseler, Ringle, & Sinkovics, ). Finally, PLS permits the simultaneous estimation of multiple causal relationships between one or more independent variables and one or more dependent variables (Medsker, Williams, & Holahan, ), which is the case in this study and is not possible in multiple regressions (Hernández‐Perlines, Moreno‐García, & Yáñez‐Araque, ). We use SmartPLS Version 3.2.6 bootstrapping with 5000 resamples.…”

This study endeavors to enhance political marketing literature about the impact of lobbying on firm performance. Our sample is composed of 140 U.S. firms and spans the years 2007–2014 to encompass the 2007–2009 recession and the subsequent recovery period. Our findings indicate that lobbying expenses positively contribute to firm performance. Also, government contracts in both ways, dollar amount and number of government contracts, act as mediators between lobbying expenses and firm performance. In addition, organizational slack moderates the relationship between lobbying expenses and government contracts. The managerial implications suggest that lobbying expenses can be leveraged as a potent tool for firm performance. Firms with larger lobbying efforts acquired both, higher dollar amounts and a greater number of government contracts.

Individual entrepreneurial orientation, value congruence, and individual outcomes: Does the institutional entrepreneurial environment matter?

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Although entrepreneurial orientation (EO) at the firm-level is often conceptualized as a direct antecedent of performance, the findings of previous studies lending support to this association are inconsistent. Consequently, drawing on the attraction/ selection/attrition and institutional theories and employing the moderated mediation analysis approach, this study conceptualizes the individual perception of a firm's EO or individual entrepreneurial orientation (IEO). It examines the direct and indirect effects of IEO on individual outcomes measured in terms of performance expectation, job involvement, and organizational commitment. More specifically, it examines whether these effects are mediated by value congruence and moderated by the institutional entrepreneurial environment to understand these inconsistent findings better. Using a sample of 398 environmentally concerned small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in South Korea, partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM), and the PROCESS macro were employed to analyzed the research model. This study finds that value congruence mediates the association between IEO and performance expectation, job involvement, and organizational commitment. The moderated mediation model analysis also suggests that the mediating role of value congruence increases as the level of the institutional entrepreneurial environment increases. These findings offer useful theoretical and managerial implications of the IEO on individual outcomes.
