AB  - This study aims to detect the impact of
leadership practices constructs, i.e. Model the way,
Inspire a shared vision, challenge the process, enable
others to act and encourage the heart (using the leadership
practices inventory) on family business performance
among first generation leaders in the selected Lebanese
family businesses context. This study adopted the survey
method to collect primary data. A questionnaire was
distributed in person and in online by Google-Forms for
data collection to around 300 family business leaders,
out of which 267 completed questionnaires were
obtained. The data were collected during the period from
06-02-2020 to 31-05-2020. Finally, 115 complete
questionnaires were used in data analysis (n = 115) for
first generation leaders. The reliability and validity of the
dimensions are evaluated by Confirmatory Factor
Analysis (CFA) and the hypothesis have been tested by
using structural equational modelling SEM. The
interpretation analysis of the results indicate that Inspire
a shared vision, challenge the process does not have a
positive impact on family business performance while
model the way, enable others to act and encourage the
heart have a positive and significant impact on family
business performance of the first generation family
business leaders. Thus, this study provides a better
understanding of the effects of leadership practices. The
results of this study have the potential to help the family
business leaders in Lebanon to improve model the way,
enable others to act and encourage the heart, in turn,
Lebanese family business leaders will be able to achieve
superior family business performance among first
generation.
