Based on resource conservation theory (RCT), we examine the role of two types of family support – emotional and instrumental support – in the work-family balance and subjective well-being of small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) owners. Using a sample of French SME owners, our results show that work-family balance mediates the relationship between family support and the subjective well-being of SME owners. Surprisingly, while emotional support has a positive association, instrumental support has a negative association with SME owners’ subjective well-being via work-family balance. We provide a theoretical explanation by integrating the ROC theory with the threat to self-esteem model, and offer practical implications of this study

Social financial institutions aim to finance social projects. Examples of such institutions include foundations, microfinance institutions, crowdfunding platforms, credit cooperatives, and social or ethical banks. Their operating methods are highly diverse: foundations make donations, while social banks provide loans. Social financial institutions make their investment and financing decisions based on social, environmental, and economic criteria.
