An Intergeneration Solidarity Perspective on Succession Intentions in Family Firms
基于代际团结理论，利用2013年全球大学生创业精神调查数据，研究了家族企业暴露程度如何通过情感承诺影响子女的继任意愿，并发现该关系对儿子比女儿更强，出生顺序无影响。
In enterprising families, the family, as a social institution, is the foundation of the family business. However, in enterprising families, intergenerational succession remains problematic. Using intergenerational solidarity theory, and data from the 2013 Global University Entrepreneurial Spirit Students Survey (GUESSS; N = 18,576), our findings indicate that affective commitment partially mediates the relationship between family business exposure and offspring’s succession intentions. We also find that this relationship is stronger for sons than for daughters, while birth order has no effect. Implications for theory and practice are discussed.
