Family Business Characteristics and the Approach to HRM in Overseas Ventures
研究了家族企业的不同组织特征(如所有权、家族管理模式、年轻继承人参与)对海外子公司人力资源管理方式的影响,发现并非所有特征作用相同,且多维分类比二分法解释力更强。
This paper provides new evidence on the relationship between family business (FB) and human resource management (HRM) abroad. Our analysis provides two main results. First, not all organizational attributes of FBs exert the same effect on the approach to HRM abroad. Whereas participation of family members in the board of directors displays no significant impact, ownership and family managerial models favor the exploitation of the human resources supplied by the parent company. In contrast, the involvement of young successors favors an explorative attitude. Second, a multidimensional approach has better explanatory power compared with a dichotomous classification of FBs.
