A growing body of research is concerned with how family businesses achieve competitive advantage, yet unique qualities that distinguish family firms and non-family firms are sometimes overlooked. In our study, we argue that socioemotional wealth (SEW) may trigger or limit family firms' strategic initiatives that ultimately shape their competitive advantage. Therefore, in our study of 193 Polish family firms, we investigate how (SEW) and a firm's competitive advantage are associated with a family firm context. Our research results reveal that, indeed, (SEW) and competitive advantage are partially associated and SEW can be regarded as an important strategic antecedent to firm performance.

Obecnie badacze coraz częściej skupiają się na zrozumieniu w jaki sposób firmy rodzinne osiągają przewagę nad konkurencją, choć w tych dociekaniach czasem pomijane są wyjątkowe cechy odróżniające od siebie firmy rodzinne i nierodzinne. W niniejszym artykule zakładamy, iż bogactwo społeczno-emocjonalne może uruchamiać albo wręcz ograniczać inicjatywy strategiczne w firmach rodzinnych, które to inicjatywy ostatecznie kształtują ich przewagę konkurencyjną. Dlatego też w prezentowanych badaniach przeprowadzonych w 193 polskich firmach dociekamy, w jaki sposób bogactwo społeczno-emocjonalne i przewaga konkurencyjna firmy są powiązane w kontekście firm rodzinnych. Jak wskazują wyniki naszych badań, bogactwo społeczno-emocjonalne i przewaga konkurencyjna są częściowo powiązane, a samo bogactwo społeczno-emocjonalne może być uznane za ważną determinantę wyników uzyskiwanych przez organizacje.
