The Effect of Organizational Characteristics on the Appointment of Nonfamily Managers in Private Family Firms
研究了企业创新性、国际化程度和规模等组织特征如何影响私营家族企业任命非家族经理，并发现家族情感财富会削弱这种正向关系。
This article examines the effect of organizational characteristics (firm innovativeness, firm internationalization, firm size) on the appointment of nonfamily managers in private family firms while taking into account the moderating role of socioemotional wealth (SEW). While these organizational characteristics increase the need for expertise, family firms cope with a limited pool of family managers. Therefore, new creative knowledge from nonfamily managers is needed. However, results from a sample of 145 Belgian family firms indicate that the positive effect of organizational characteristics on the integration of nonfamily managers decreases when family-related objectives reflected by SEW become more important for the firm.
