FAMILY-ORIENTATION TRAINING DESIGN IN ENTREPRENEURIAL TRAINING FOR FAMILY BUSINESS SMALL MEDIUM ENTERPRISES (SMEs): A MEASUREMENT DEVELOPMENT
Keywords:
Family business SMEs, entrepreneurship, entrepreneurial training, family-orientation concept, training design.Abstract
Purpose – This paper aims to develop and validate the measurement scales for family-orientation training design items and constructs specifically for family business SMEs.
Methodology – This paper observed literature within the family-orientation concept framework, where relevant literature was reviewed and followed by the adaptive strategy used in developing the measurement scales. Moreover, this paper employed the face validity assessment, confirmatory factor analysis, and composite reliability to determine the validity and internal consistency reliability of the items that represent the constructs.
Findings – The validated family-orientation training scales present a significant basis for future empirical research within the related field.
Significance – This paper will allow researchers to embark on an in-depth discussion on the development of training design that emphasizes family orientation, which largely ignored in the past as a mechanism for developing family business SMEs.
