Working in small family businesses: empirical comparisons to non‐family businesses
比较小型家族企业中的家族成员与非家族成员，以及与非家族企业员工的工作体验，发现家族成员的优势多于劣势，挑战了以往文献的负面观点。
Members of the owning family of a small family firm are reputed to experience special problems, most notably specific types of conflicts and outcomes associated with them. This analysis uncovered more advantages than disadvantages, however, when family members were compared to non-family members of the same firms and to members of similar non-family-owned businesses. Previous literature had not used comparison groups and may have been based upon a subset of family businesses that differs systematically from family firms in general and from this study's sample specifically. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
