Examining the “Family Effect” on Firm Performance
基于代理理论和资源基础观，解释家族企业绩效研究中的矛盾证据，提出“家庭效应”概念并生成相关命题，探讨家族对企业绩效的影响。
The purpose of this article is to provide an explanation for the contradictory evidence in the literature regarding the performance of family-owned firms. The article suggests that most of the research fails to clearly describe the “family effect” on organizational performance. The “family effect,” based on agency theory and the resource-based view of the firm, is described and propositions are generated that examine the relationship between families and organizational performance. Implications for theory and research are also discussed.
