Family FIRO Model: An Application to Family Business
将家庭FIRO模型应用于家族企业（特别是家庭农场夫妇），实证检验了包容、控制和整合三个维度的发展顺序，发现包容感和控制方式对家族企业整合有重要影响。
This study applies the Family FIRO model, one of interpersonal dynamics and change, to family businesses (specifically, to family farming couples). It empirically tests the developmental sequence of three dimensions of the model: inclusion, control, and integration. Findings indicate that both a sense of inclusion in a family business and the manner in which control issues are managed have important influences on family business integration. Because inclusion predicts control dynamics, effective control may not be diminished without adequate levels of inclusion. The study offers practitioners a theory-based approach to working with the complex dynamics within family businesses. Family businesses will remain more resilient in times of change if the leaders understand and reassess patterns of inclusion when change is initiated.
