Relationships Among Firm Age and Size, Managerial Social Capital and Firm Reputation

Abstract

This study investigated the effects of firm age and firm size on corporate reputation and managerial social capital's moderating role in this relationship. To investigate these relations, we have examined Turkey's largest 500 industrial enterprises of 2018, determined by the Istanbul Chamber of Industry. We have reached 208 of these companies' complete data, and we have analyzed the data with regression and moderation analysis. As a result, we have found a positive relationship between the firm's size and corporate reputation. However, there is no moderating effect of managerial social capital. Families and/or board members are more effective than managers in companies in Turkey. It can be interpreted as the reason why the managerial social capital moderating effect could not be detected.
