Motivated by the social and environmental challenges resulting from the COVID‐19 pandemic, this research examines the influence of the “big five” personality traits; extroversion, agreeableness, openness, conscientiousness, and neuroticism on sustainable social responsibility with a mediating role of bricolage. We collected empirical evidence from 245 family‐owned SMEs. The results indicate that the personality traits do not directly influence sustainable social responsibility, although the traits (except extroversion) influence bricolage. Moreover, we found that open, conscious, and agreeable personalities indirectly contribute to sustainable social responsibility, with bricolage as a mediator. Our findings encourage enterprises to focus on those personality traits during crises (especially COVID‐19) that empower people to effectively manage existing resources (e.g., bricolage) and protect their stakeholders. Family‐owned SMEs need to assign resource utilization tasks to family members having personalities of openness, conscientiousness, and neuroticism because these kinds of people have high capacities for bricolage.

人格特质和贿赂行为是家庭中小企业可持续社会责任的驱动力：COVID-19观点

受COVID-19大流行引起的社会和环境挑战的驱使，本研究考察了“五大”人格特质的影响。外向性，和agree可亲，开放，尽职尽责和对可持续的社会责任的神经质，在贿赂中起中介作用。我们从245家家族企业中收集了经验证据。结果表明，人格特质并不直接影响可持续的社会责任，尽管这些特质（外向型除外）影响贿赂。此外，我们发现开放，自觉和令人愉快的人格通过Bricolage作为调解人间接地促进了可持续的社会责任。我们的发现鼓励企业在危机期间（尤其是COVID-19）关注那些人格特质，以使人们能够有效地管理现有资源（例如贿赂）并保护其利益相关者。家族中小企业需要将资源利用任务分配给具有开放性，尽责性和神经质的个性的家庭成员，因为这类人具有很高的贿赂能力。
