The corporate social responsibility of family businesses: An international approach

This study analyzes the links between listed family businesses and social responsibility. On the theoretical level, it establishes a relationship between socioemotional wealth, proactive stakeholder engagement, and the social responsibility of family businesses. On a practical level, our results (obtained from a sample of 363 companies) show that family businesses do not differ from non-family businesses in many dimensions of social responsibility. Moreover, family businesses have statistically significant lower ratings for four sub-dimensions of "corporate governance", namely "balance of power and effectiveness of the Board", "audit and control mechanisms", "engagement with shareholders and shareholder structure", and "executive compensation".
