本研究调查了 1996 年至 1999 年间联邦救灾援助对员工人数少于 500 人的小型家族企业的生存和成功的影响。小型家族企业主的定义是那些已经营至少一年、每周至少工作 6 小时或每年至少工作 312 小时、与至少一名家庭成员同住且员工人数少于 500 人的企业主。这项研究表明，位于接受较多灾害援助的县的公司生存的可能性并不更大，但这些公司比位于接受较少灾害援助的县的公司更有可能实现收入的积极变化。位于经济脆弱的农村县的企业、从事家庭与企业资源混合的企业以及将更多商业收入转移给家庭的企业更有可能生存下来。规模较大的企业、由女性领导的企业以及将更多收入从企业转移给家庭的企业最有可能取得成功。
This study examines the impact of federal disaster assistance on the survival and success of small family-owned businesses with fewer than 500 employees from 1996 to 1999. Small family-owned business owners were defined as those who had been in business at least a year, had spent a least 6 hours a week or a minimum of 312 hours annually working in the business, had lived with at least one family member and had fewer than 500 employees. This study suggests firms located in counties receiving more disaster assistance are not more likely to survive, however these firms are more likely to realize positive changes in revenue than firms located in counties receiving less disaster assistance. Businesses located in an economically vulnerable rural county, those engaged in family to business resource intermingling and those transferring more business income to the household were more likely to survive. Larger businesses, those headed by women and those transferring more income from the business to the family were most likely to succeed.
