Four Bases of Family Business Successor Commitment: Antecedents and Consequences
将组织承诺理论引入家族企业，提出继任者承诺的四个基础（情感、规范、计算、必需），并构建了各基础的前因与行为结果模型，对家族企业继任管理有参考价值。
Although successor commitment toward family business has been identified as a key desirable attribute, commitment has been treated as a unidimensional construct in family business research. Drawing on the organizational commitment literature, we propose four bases of successor commitment to family firm—affective (based on perceived desire), normative (based on perceived sense of obligation), calculative (based on perceived opportunity costs involved), and imperative (based on perceived need). A model of antecedents and expected behavioral outcomes of each of these bases of commitment is developed. Related propositions are presented, as are the contributions to the literature, research and practical implications.
