Retiring From the Family Business
对临近退休的家族企业领导者进行纵向研究，发现目标调整能力（脱离与重新投入）影响退休规划：脱离能力促进具体准备，重新投入能力与积极预期相关，且信任继任者能力者更早设定退休日期。
A longitudinal study of family business leaders nearing retirement age examined the effects of goal adjustment capacities (disengagement and reengagement) on retirement planning. Goal disengagement predicted taking concrete steps to prepare retirement, whereas goal reengagement was related to having positive retirement expectations. Family business leaders with high goal reengagement capacities who trusted their successor’s abilities set an earlier retirement date than others. Leaders with poor goal disengagement capacities who did not trust their successor were unable to improve their retirement expectations over time. This study shows the importance of psychological variables in the retirement planning process of family business leaders.
