Le potentiel de croissance des PME marocaines : vers une approche sociopsychologique
No full textCet article étudie les différences dans les caractéristiques personnelles socio-psychologiques des propriétaires-dirigeants et leur relation avec la performance et la croissance des PME marocains. Le concept d'individus entrepreneurs ayant des caractéristiques distinctives est central à la théorie entrepreneuriale, selon laquelle nous avons opérationnalisé les propriétaires-dirigeants par des attributs psychologiques et non psychologiques. Notre question principale s’articule comme suit : Existe-t-il une relation significative entre les attributs socio-psychologiques des dirigeants-entrepreneurs Marocains et la croissance de l’entreprise. L’étude suit une démarche quantitative exploratoire réalisée auprès de 72 entreprises PME Marocaines situées dans la région de Marrakech-Safi. Les principaux résultats affirment que d’une part, les attributs psychologiques, notamment, l’attitude positive envers le risque, le lieu de contrôle interne, et le sentiment d’auto-efficacité servent de prédicteurs de la croissance de l’entreprise. D’autre part, les attributs non psychologiques à l’instar de l’âge, l’éducation et les expériences précédentes sont significatives reliées à la croissance de l’entreprise.Nous concluons le document par des recommandations sur les implications pratiques qui stimulent la croissance et encouragent la performance/croissance des entreprises
Les facteurs déterminants de la croissance des PME: Vers la proposition d'un modèle de recherche
No full textLe rôle des petites et moyennes entreprises (PME) dans les stratégies de développement économique n’est plus à démontrer tant sur le plan de leur aptitude à créer des emplois que leur flexibilité face aux changements et de leur création de valeur. Ainsi, toutes les économies du monde ont vu leur degré de dépendance aux PME en évolution progressive. En revanche les gouvernements des Etats conscients de ce fait ne cessent de souligner le rôle important du secteur dans le développement économique. Cet état d’esprit incite à développer des politiques de mise à niveau et des programmes d’assistance afin de soutenir la croissance et le développement de ce secteur. Dans ce sens, l’objectif du présent article est de capitaliser sur la littérature existante en revisitant les travaux de recherche théoriques portant sur la croissance des PME notamment dans les pays en voie de développement afin d’en faire ressortir les principaux facteurs déterminants de croissance. Finalement, proposer un modèle de recherche qui fera l’objet d’une étude empirique confirmatoire
Analyse exploratoire des performances des enseignants sous la perspective de la théorie fondée sur les compétences
No full textThis paper aims to analyze the contribution of the Competency-Based Approach (CBA) to improving the professional and academic performance of Moroccan secondary school teachers. To address this topic, we used competency-based theory as our theoretical framework. Concerning the methodological tools, we adopted a qualitative approach based on semi-structured interviews conducted with a sample of five foreign-language teachers (French and English). In addition, content analysis and textual analysis using NVIVO were employed to synthesize and process the qualitative data collected.
The main findings of this study highlight an improvement in teaching practices and in the performance of the interviewed teachers who have adopted this competency and skills-oriented pedagogical innovation. However, the implementation of this strategic vision requires substantial investments as well as robust logistical, material, and technical infrastructures
DETERMINANTS OF SUCCESSOR SELECTION: EVIDENCE FROM FAMILY-OWNED SMES IN MOROCCO
No full textThe increasing mortality rate of family companies worldwide makes the investigation of the problems of succession one of the priorities that has fascinated the community of researchers recently. This study contributes to the analysis of the succession issue from the successor\u27s point of view, through the investigation of the potential successor selection process and choice of determinants. This study\u27s originality is in its attempt to scrutinize the phenomenon in question through the entrepreneurial and sociocultural lens. Also, this study aims to present some managerial implications that can support the founders of Moroccan family-owned SMEs (Small and Medium sized Enterprises) in setting up a succession process which will enable them to select their potential successors in an effective way. A qualitative approach using semi-structured interviews was conducted with six managers of five Moroccan family-owned SMEs. The research will contribute towards the scholarly debate about the succession issue, which is considered a significant field that deserves a deeper analysis, especially in the context of Moroccan family-owned SMEs. The results of this study also revealed that there is a heterogeneity of issues in the selection of potential successors from one family business to another and from one business family to another. Indeed, the trust between the predecessor and the potential successor, as well as between the latter and the other stakeholders, the business families’ subjective norms (i.e., nepotism, primogeniture, patriarchy), the successor’s involvement, the willingness, the motivation, the level of education, the knowledge and the accumulated experiences, are the main determining factors considered when selecting the potential successor of family SMEs
Family entrepreneurship: a bibliometric analysis and future research agenda
No full textThe family entrepreneurship regroups family members, family business and the entrepreneurship activities. This makes it a fertile and rich research field, which needs to be explored and analyzed to understand the specific behaviors and orientations of the family entrepreneurial initiatives. The main purpose of this paper is to present a bibliometric analysis and research agenda of scientific publications dealing mainly with the family entrepreneurship field. The bibliometric process is the methodological design adopted to review the previous studies about our problematic. The scope of our study is limited to the scientific articles have been published between 2000 and 2022 (September), in the three data bases: Web of sciences, Scopus and Jstor. 73 out of 181 articles selected have been retained and analyzed after the assessment process taking into consideration different inclusion and exclusion criteria. In addition, the Excel’s tools and the VOSviewer software version 1.6.18 are the main technological devices used to carry out this research. Our study shows that family entrepreneurship is a legitimate area of research, despite the fact that it is still in its pre-paradigmatic and launching stages. Thus, further academic studies dealing with the family entrepreneurship research clusters generated through the thematic and bibliometric analysis (as presented by the figure 5) need to be deepene
