description This paper examines the effect of the family involvement in the performance of Greek listed companies, during the Greek financial crisis. The involvement of family in firm’s ownership, management and governance along with the firm’s age constitute the unified framework that describe the family influence on the enterprise. The main contribution of this paper is the investigation of a research period when Greece faced an unprecedented economic 9 year crisis that affected all sectors of the economy, with 72% of listed companies showing a decrease in revenue and the total capitalization of the Greek Stock Exchange shrinking by 70%. No previous study has incorporated performance data on listed companies during a corresponding financial crisis with large fluctuations in all performance indicators and a high volatility in the national economy. The sample of the research includes 80 family firms listed in the Greek Stock Exchange. The findings illustrate a better performance for family firms with lower family ownership and prove a stronger performance in younger family businesses. The results of the study do not confirm the positive involvement of family members, through management (CEO) and governance (BoD) positions in the family business performance.

La participación de la familia en la propiedad, la gestión y el gobierno de la empresa, junto con la edad de la misma, constituyen el marco unificado que describe la influencia de la familia en la empresa. La principal contribución de este trabajo es la investigación de un periodo de investigación en el que Grecia se enfrentó a una crisis económica sin precedentes de nueve años que afectó a todos los sectores de la economía. Durante este período de crisis disminuyeron un 72% los ingresos de las empresas griegas cotizadas y la capitalización total de la Bolsa griega se redujo en un 70%. Ningún estudio anterior ha incorporado datos sobre el rendimiento de las empresas que cotizan en bolsa durante una crisis financiera correspondiente con grandes fluctuaciones en todos los indicadores de rendimiento y una gran volatilidad en la economía nacional. La muestra de la investigación incluye 80 empresas familiares que cotizan en la Bolsa griega. Los resultados ilustran un mejor rendimiento de las empresas familiares con menor propiedad familiar y demuestran un mayor rendimiento en las empresas familiares más jóvenes.
