Resumen

Este trabajo tiene como objetivo evaluar las diferencias entre los empleados de empresas familiares y no familiares en cuanto a sus niveles de silencio de los empleados y sus percepciones de la orientación empresarial de la empresa. Además, centrándonos en las empresas familiares, evaluamos la relación entre los niveles de silencio de los empleados y sus percepciones sobre la orientación emprendedora de la empresa. La evidencia empírica la proporciona una muestra de 245 empleados portugueses, 117 empleados de empresas familiares y 128 de empresas no familiares, que respondieron a un cuestionario que incluía medidas de silencio de los empleados y orientación empresarial. Los resultados revelan que los empleados de las empresas familiares muestran niveles más altos de silencio de los empleados, pero perciben a sus empresas como menos orientadas al emprendimiento que los empleados de empresas no familiares. Además, nuestros resultados no apoyan la idea de que exista una relación entre los niveles de silencio de los empleados y la percepción de los empleados sobre la orientación emprendedora de la empresa. Este artículo ofrece una primera mirada al debate sobre la relación entre los niveles de silencio de los empleados y la percepción de los empleados sobre la orientación emprendedora de la empresa en las empresas familiares.
