“…To support this idea empirically, we have followed the steps explained in Sanchez-Famoso et al [87], where the authors test that nonfamily social capital has a stronger effect than family social capital on firm performance. Thus, on the one hand, from the angle of asymptotically consistent criteria (Bayesian information criterion (BIC), Hannan and Quinn's criterion (HQ), and McQuarrie and Tsai's corrected HQ criterion (HQc)) [105], the model's values for Concerning the moderating role of interlocks (fifth and sixth hypotheses), the empirical results ( Figure 4) indicate that the percentage of interlocks in the boardroom does not have a significant effect on the link between a board's internal social capital and its effectiveness (β = 0.057; p > 0.10; (−0.071;0.212)), thus failing to support hypothesis 5. However, the proportion of interlocks in the boardroom has a significant, positive effect on the link between a board's external social capital and its effectiveness (β = 0.168; p < 0.01; (0.055;0.265)).…”
