Abstract

Purpose:

This study explored the relationship between prosocial leadership, innovation capacity, and organizational performance in family businesses.

Originality/value:

The study presents a model resulting from the relationships between three theories in the context of family businesses. Studying prosocial leadership and innovation capacity enabled a systemic view of new perspectives that can better interpret the reality of family businesses. Regarding empirical and social contributions, we suggested lines of action for developing prosocial leaders and fostering innovation, thus contributing to organizational performance.

Design/methodology/approach:

The study had a quantitative approach with a descriptive nature, using the survey research method and statistical techniques for data analysis. The sample consisted of 502 professionals who hold leadership positions in member companies of the Association of Santa Catarina Distributors and Wholesalers.

Findings:

The hypotheses confirmed positive relationships between prosocial leadership and innovation capacity, prosocial leadership and organizational performance, and innovation capacity and organizational performance. We also state that innovation capacity partially moderates the relationship between prosocial leadership and performance.
