Résumé

Family involvement creates a unique and idiosyncratic setting in managing human capital influencing firm performance. This paper examines the orientation of the main HR practices – selection, training and compensation – and their effects on firm performance based on the presence of the family in ownership and management. On a sample of 500 Spanish companies, the results indicate that the human resource practices carried out by family owned managed firms are generally less formalized and professionalized than those applied by externally family managed firms. Additionally, it has been found that the contribution of human resource practices through the selection process is negatively moderated by the family involvement.
