Why Do Family Firms Strive for Nonfinancial Goals? An Organizational Identity Perspective
从组织身份视角解释家族企业追求非财务目标的原因,发现家族在企业的可见性、跨代可持续意图和自我增强能力会影响身份契合度和声誉关注,进而推动非财务目标以惠及非家族利益相关者。
This paper develops an organizational identity–based rationale for why family firms strive for nonfinancial goals. We show that the visibility of the family in the firm, the transgenerational sustainability intentions of the family, and the capability of the firm for self–enhancement of the family positively influence the importance of identity fit between family and firm as well as the family's concern for corporate reputation. We suggest that the concern for corporate reputation leads the family to pursue nonfinancial goals to the benefit of nonfamily stakeholders. We also discuss reinforcing feedback loops in these processes.
