ISSERTATION
Understanding the Role of Social Capital on Performance in Family Firms “Social capital, which is a set of social resources embedded in networks and how it impacts firm performance, has been a topic of attention. In the past decade, one interesting form of social capital has become family social capital. In general, research on social capital has been inconclusive in relation to its effect on firm performance. One reason for the inconsistency may be due to different contexts. Therefore, this dissertation focuses on the family business research, and drawing from social capital literature, conducts the research through two perspectives of network mobilization and
131
social capital as a multidimensional construct, and looks at the relationship among the dimensions: structural, cognitive, and relational. The relationship between family social capital and performance is studied through the mediating role of network mobilization, moderated by family firm identity. The second study focuses on the relationship between family social capital and firm performance through innovativeness perspective. Finally, this study investigates the moderating role of environmental munificence and family involvement.”
