Kinship and Gender in Family Firms: New Insights Into Employees’ Organizational Citizenship Behavior
研究引入亲属关系作为新的人口统计特征，发现家族企业员工的亲属相似性、亲属纽带和性别共同影响其组织公民行为，尤其男性家族员工（特别是CEO之子）在利他领导行为高时表现最佳，而女儿及其他女性家族员工则持续表现高组织公民行为。
We extend relational demography theory by introducing kinship as a new demographic characteristic of categorization. We theorize that family firm employees’ kinship similarity (family vs. nonfamily), kinship tie (child vs. other familial relationship), and gender (female vs. male) uniquely affect their organizational citizenship behavior (OCB). Data collected from 209 family CEO–employee dyads indicate that male family employees, especially sons of the CEO, display the highest OCB when altruistic leadership behavior is high, whereas daughters and other female family employees display consistently high OCB, confirming that employees’ experiences in family firms are simultaneously shaped by their kinship characteristics and gender.
