The aim of this paper is to analyze the relationship of family executive women with firm performance in family firms. We have obtained a final sample of 269 family and non-family firms (comprising 3073 firm/year observations) from the Spanish High Council of Chamber (SHCC) website, while data were collected from System for Analysis of Iberian Balances database (SABI) for the period 2000 to 2011. Applying a generalized method of moments (GMM) panel data methodology, we observe a positive effect on the return on assets (ROA) depending on the existence of family ties of executive women. Several implications for the career development of women in family firms arise from our results.

PurposeThis study analyses whether human resource management (HRM), through the use of four sets of high-performance work policies (HPWPs) (i.e. selection, training, motivation and opportunity policies), mediates the relationship between socioemotional wealth (SEW)—defined as a unique set of nonfinancial family goals—and firm financial performance when family firms face a high-risk context.Design/methodology/approachHypotheses were statistically tested using a structural equation modeling (SEM) methodology with a cross-sectional sample of 196 medium-sized and private family firms in a high-risk context in Spain.FindingsThe results indicate that the relationship between SEW and financial performance in family firms is fully mediated by the use of HPWPs, especially by training and motivation HR policies. The importance given to preserving SEW influences the use of four sets of HPWPs when family firms show clear evidence of being confronted by a financial decline (i.e. a high-risk context). However, to improve their financial results to avoid the firm's failure and thus the loss of their SEW, only those HR policies that focus on training and motivation made a significant and positive contribution to the firm financial performance.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the literature on family firms and HRM by adopting an alternative theoretical framework to understand how the importance of nonfinancial family goals may affect employee structures and management policies, thereby improving financial performance in family firms.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship of firms with family ownership and their performance in Indonesia and further examine on how political connections affect this relationship. This study used 933 samples from 413 companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) in the period between 2014 and 2016. Using ordinary least square (OLS) regression, the results shows that firms without family ownership (non-family firms) have better performance than firms with family ownership (family firms) in Indonesia. Furthermore, the findings also show that the performance of family firms significantly improve when the firms are affiliated with political connections. Our findings imply that establishing political connections in family firms will increase the performance of the firms.

The article is devoted to studying the evaluation of the determinant factors of the value of state-owned companies, which present the competitive and investment-attractive segment of the economy with high export potential. There are considered the applied aspects of the problem and the influence of financial and non-financial factors on the value of companies, such as: return on assets, return on equity, return on invested capital, leverage, earnings per share, dividends per share, company size, company age, share of fixed assets. The research hypothesis that the selected determinants are significant and affect the value of companies with state participation are examined. The analysis is based on data from public reports of Russian producing and processing companies. The sample includes the data for 2010-2019. Companies with state participation and industry affiliation were selected; a database of indicators of financial statements of selected companies was formed; the financial indicators-factors have been calculated; the relationship of factors with the resulting indicator is determined. It has been inferred that the determinants “earnings per share” and “net working capital” are statistically significant and have an impact on the enterprise value in the industry under study

PurposeThis study aims to examine the effect of institutional ownership, audit committee and types of industry on environmental investment. Furthermore, this research investigates the consequences of environmental investments on firm financial performance.Design/methodology/approachThe sample consisted of 145 companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchanges and receiving PROPER awards issued by the Ministry of Environment, Republic of Indonesia in the year 2009-2015. The data were then analyzed using ordinal logistic regression and multiple regression.FindingsThe findings showed that environmental investment was significantly affected by types of industry. However, institutional ownership and audit committee did not influence environmental investment. Finally, the finding indicated that environmental investments positively affected firm financial performance.Research limitations/implicationsThis research only covered companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchanges and receiving PROPER awards. Thus, the findings cannot be generalized for all companies in Indonesia and other markets.Originality/valueThis study is the first effort intended to investigate the determinants and consequences of environmental investment which have been ignored by previous studies, especially in the Asian emerging markets. This study at least provides us with two main contributions. First, the findings on determinants of environmental investment can be used by governments in Asian countries, especially Indonesia as a reference in making policies concerning the obligations of companies to the environmental problems. Second, the finding on the relationship of environmental investment and financial performance can be used by companies as strategies to generate profits without destroying the environment.

Abstract Objectives Nine common characteristics of Blue Zone regions (Power 9) are having a natural movement pattern, having an ikigai (a reason for being), being able to cope with stress, being able to stop eating before being full, eating a predominantly plant-based diet, drinking wine regularly, having a sense of belonging, strong family ties and strong social bonds. In the present study, we investigated the relationship of Power 9 characteristics with age and gender using the 'Longevity Compliance Scale' that we have recently developed. Methods Data were collected by administering the online 'Longevity Compliance Scale' (nine questions of 5-point Likert scale type) to 490 participants. SPSS was used for calculations. Results Cronbach's alpha value was found to be 0.763 (76.3%). Kaiser–Meyer–Olkin coefficient was 83%, and the factor analysis test provided high reliability (0.830 > 0.750). The total score was higher in female and elderly participants (Hedges' g: 0.046643, 95% Cls: 1.152-4.517, p:0.01). Conclusion We found that longevity compliance developed predominantly in female and elderly participants. These results may vary across regions and cultures; thus, they cannot be generalized. However, it is crucial to demonstrate the effect of the nine common dominant points, which have been found after extensive studies conducted for many years. These nine points could be critical factors associated with longevity. It might provide us with tips to prolong our lives and help us stay healthy. Knowledge and experience accumulated as a result of aging, especially in women, may, instinctively or consciously, enhance compliance with the codes for longevity.

This study empirically examines the effect of capital structure, company growth, and profitability on firm value with inflation as a moderating variable in issuers in 2012-2015. The sample of this study was 245 issuers. The research method uses the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) method. The result of this study is indicated that partially positive and significant effect on firm value (PBV) is the capital structure variable (DAR) and profitability (ROA), while company growth (growth) partially has a negative and no significant effect on firm value. Therefore, inflation moderates the effect of the relationship of profitability on firm value. The result of Simultaneous test showed that there is a significant effect of capital structure, company growth, profitability, and inflation simultaneously on firm value. This is indicated by the result of R-squared 19.3141% which indicated that variations in company value can be explained by variable capital structure, company growth, profitability and inflation of 19.3141% and the remaining 80.6859% explained by other factors.
