Esta investigación apoya el argumento de que las empresas se benefician de la adopción de políticas y estrategias retributivas para sus directivos cuando las características de las mismas se adaptan o adecuan a los requerimientos de control y motivación de los directivos que, en última estancia, vienen impuestos por la orientación estratégica de la empresa y por las características del entorno en el que opera. En este sentido, y en consistencia con la teoría de la agencia, el concepto de discrecionalidad directiva se ratifica como un elemento crucial en la explicación de las relaciones entre retribución directiva y contexto. La empresa diseña el sistema retributivo del directivo en función del grado de discrecionalidad del que éste dispone. Además, el ajuste entre discrecionalidad y retribución directiva tiene efectos positivos en los resultados de la empresa. ; This research supports the arguments of that firms obtain benefits of implementing executives' compensation politics linked to supervision and control requirements which are imposed by firms strategic orientations and environment characteristics. In that way, and consistent to agency theory, executive discretion concept is confirmed as a key element in the explanation of relationships between executive compensation and context. Firm design executives compensation system according to the degree of discretion they dispose. Moreover, adjustment between executive discretion and executive compensation has positive effects on firm performance.

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to examine how family governance and technological capabilities influence the conversion of new knowledge obtained from exports into various innovation outputs, a phenomenon called "learning-by-exporting (LBE)."Design/methodology/approachTo properly examine the causal links proposed in the study, first, the control for endogeneity. Second, a propensity-score matching longitudinal analysis is conducted, a particularly robust empirical method that enhances reliability in non-experimental data, over an average sample of 663 manufacturing companies for the period 2007 to 2014.FindingsFamily firms' innovation strategies and abilities render them more likely to convert the new knowledge from exporting into product innovation and more efficient in this endeavor than non-family firms. This diverts family firms' typically limited resources from process innovation, and they have a smaller LBE effect than non-family firms in terms of process innovation.Originality/valueThe study contributes to the internationalization literature by producing a more nuanced view of the learning-by-exporting effect which considers the type of innovation outcomes developed following export activity. It also helps to identify some of the firm-specific factors that shape the relationship between exports and innovation, by empirically examining for the first time the role of family governance in innovation capabilities and decisions.

Finding the internationalization triggers of family-managed firms is not easy because family-managed firms are regarded as being very different to begin with (e.g. Bloom et al., 2011).In investigating the role of family management, we apply a Spanish sample of 805 family-managed firms to investigate the impact of abandoning such management on export propensity. Through a Logit model, we find that such abandon is associated with a fall in export propensity, findings we relate back to managerial theories of the firm. This finding is related to specific features of family managed firms that favour export activity such as a greater flexibility and altruism. The conclusions of this work have a number of relevant implications.

La influencia de la familia en las estructuras de gestión del capital humano de la empresa crea un marco único y diferente, con importantes implicaciones en términos de eficiencia. En este trabajo se examina la orientación de las principales prácticas de recursos humanos –selección, formación y retribución- y sus efectos sobre el desempeño organizativo en función de la presencia de la familia en la propiedad y dirección del negocio. Utilizando una muestra de 500 empresas españolas, los resultados indican que en las empresas de dirección familiar se aplican unas prácticas de recursos humanos menos formalizadas y profesionalizadas que en las empresas familiares de dirección externa. Asimismo, se comprueba una contribución de las prácticas de recursos humanos a través de la selección que se encuentra moderada negativamente por el carácter familiar.

PurposeThe purpose of this literature review is, first, to understand how employees with disabilities in the context of COVID-19 have been studied under the talent management (TM) approach; second, to explore what we know about the predictors and outcomes that have been linked to TM practices in that area; and third, to identify gaps in our understanding and provide insights for future research.Design/methodology/approachThis paper presents a systematic literature review (SLR) based on 38 academic sources published in high-impact indexes from 2020 to 2023.FindingsThe existing research shows COVID-19 as a crucial context that led organizations to more precarious and segmented TM practices, which had negative consequences for employees with disabilities, both at the individual level (reduced satisfaction and income, and increased health issues) and the organizational level (increased unemployment, turnover and discrimination as well as declining performance and productivity).Originality/valueThis paper provides essential contributions to the field of TM in the relatively unexplored context of employees with disabilities since the emergence of COVID-19. Our literature review suggests there is significant room for developing and implementing adjusted TM strategies and practices to foster effective inclusiveness, accommodations and supportive work environments for employees with disabilities. From this evidence, a number of key avenues for future research and key implications for academics and practitioners are provided.

This paper adopts a configurational approach to explore the degree of matching among typologies of organizational culture and categories of family firm. Based on a sample of 491 Spanish firms with diverse levels of family involvement and using the organizational cultural assessment instrument (OCAI), results show that family owned and managed firms and professionally managed family are characterized by a clan culture typology while market and hierarchy cultures are more relevant in non-family firms. Potential determinants and consequences of these matches are explained and discussed.
