    Influence of family-centered goals on dividend policy in family firms: a socioemotional wealth approach
    (Springer, 2021-02-17) Belda Ruiz, María; Sánchez Marín, Gregorio; Baixauli Soler, Juan Samuel; Organización de Empresas y Finanzas
    Socioemotional wealth (SEW) preservation is likely to be a key determinant for family firms to shape their dividend policy. This paper analyzes how family-centered goals captured by SEW influence on dividend policy in private family firms, exploring as well the moderating role on these relationships of family involvement in management, generational stage, and firm hazard. Results indicate a negative association between SEW preservation and both the likelihood of giving dividends and the amount of dividend paid. This negative relationship is stronger when the CEO is a family member, in early generational stages and when the firm faces greater performance hazard. The amount of dividend paid is also lower when there are family members in other top management positions beyond the CEO. Thus, the evidence provided suggests that the existing heterogeneity regarding dividend policy in the context of privately held family firms is strongly driven by differences in SEW priorities.

    The aim of this research study was to analyse parents´ involvement in primary schools and the reasons and conceptions that may foster such involvement. The models of Epstein and Vogels served as a theoretical and methodological basis in this study. The sample comprised 110 families with primary school pupils. The population was made up of 41,799 families from Seville, Spain. The confidence level was set at 95% and sampling error was ± 10. An ad hoc questionnaire based on the theoretical models of Epstein and Vogels was developed for data collection. The results showed that parents preferred certain collaboration options. Some conceptions and motivations combined, thus showing different levels of involvement in and commitment to education.

    Say-on-Pay voting dispersion in listed family and non-family firms: a panel data analysis
    (Elsevier, 2022-04-19) Lozano Reina, Gabriel; Sánchez Marín, Gregorio; Baixauli Soler, Juan Samuel; Organización de Empresas y Finanzas
    The study of Say-on-Pay (SOP) – a shareholder vote on executive compensation – is a key topic in the corporate governance field, despite which its influence in the context of family firms has not been studied until now. In response to this need, this paper pursues a twofold objective: first, to analyze differences in shareholder voting behavior between family and non-family firms; second, to explore the impact of increasing family ownership on voting dispersion among family firms, testing the related moderating effects of family involvement in management and governance on this relationship. Focusing on a sample of large UK listed companies from 2007–2017, our results show that the distinctive features of family firms lead to more concentrated voting positions regarding pay packages compared to non-family firms, with this voting concentration tending to be higher as family ownership increases. Moreover, while this relationship intensifies when the family is involved in management, we find partial support in the case of family involvement in governance.
