Purpose

This article seeks to understand the role of prosocial behaviour and moral obligation in family business to explain the indirect relationship between family business orientation and citizenship behaviour.

Design/methodology/approach

This study proposes a model to examine the role of moral obligation and prosocial behaviour in such a relationship to understand a link between family orientation and organisational citizenship behaviour. The authors provide empirical evidence to test the hypothesis by conducting an online survey of family business behaviour in the Indonesia context.

Findings

The family business orientation has a significant impact on citizenship behaviour, while prosocial behaviour and moral obligation offer an additional contribution. The results suggest that family business performance demonstrates how a family that owns the business sets the social purposes from various performance alternatives beyond profit, such as family orientation, prosocial behaviour, moral obligation and organisational citizenship behaviour.

Originality/value

This study extends the agency and stewardship theory by examining how family business performance becomes different from other firm performance where the mainstream of economic theory argues that the business attempts to maximise profit for the stakeholders. The findings suggest that incorporating the theory of social practice in family business enhances the concept of prosocial behaviour in family business value.

从家族企业导向到组织公民行为：家族企业绩效中的亲社会行为

目的

本文旨在了解亲社会行为和道德义务在家族企业中的作用，以解释家族企业取向与公民行为之间的间接关系。

设计/方法/途径

本研究提出了一个模型来检验道德义务和亲社会行为在这种关系中的作用，以了解家庭取向和组织公民行为之间的联系。作者通过对印度尼西亚背景下的家族企业行为进行在线调查，提供了实证证据来检验假设。

发现

家族企业取向对公民行为有重大影响，而亲社会行为和道德义务提供了额外的贡献。结果表明，家族企业绩效表明拥有企业的家族如何从利润以外的各种绩效替代方案中设定社会目标，例如家庭取向、亲社会行为、道德义务和组织公民行为。

原创性/价值

本研究通过研究家族企业的绩效如何不同于其他公司的绩效来扩展代理和管理理论，在其他公司的绩效中，经济理论的主流认为企业试图为利益相关者实现利润最大化。研究结果表明，将社会实践理论纳入家族企业可以增强家族企业价值中的亲社会行为概念。
