| الملخص: | Drawing on theories from corporate social responsibility, entrepreneurship, and human capital, this study examines the structural relationships between entrepreneurial experience, support for community and family firm performance. Partial least-squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to collect the data from 176 family businesses from two sectors of the economy - product-manufacturing and service-based organizations. The empirical results indicated that family firm owners’ entrepreneurial experience (business owner’s education level, length of time as a business owner, and the number of businesses owned in the past) is a significant predictor of the business’ support for community. Entrepreneurial experience was also found to have a significant and indirect effect on family firm performance. Additionally, the structural model was examined across product and service-based organizations. Our findings suggest that entrepreneurial experience has a stronger effect on family firm performance among service-based organizations. |
