The role of affect in the selection of nonfamily top management team members in family businesses
通过对19家瑞士家族企业的53次访谈和14次专家访谈，研究发现家族企业特有的选拔过程要素（如非正式选拔环境、非正式顾问参与、关系导向的评价标准）会改变情感注入，且决策者的情境态度（开放、防御、授权意愿）调节情感注入，高情感注入场景下可能出现破坏行为。
Utilizing a qualitative research design based on 53 interviews with 19 Swiss family businesses, supplemented by 14 expert interviews, this study demonstrates that different family firm-specific elements of the process of selecting top management team (TMT) members alter affect infusion in family firms. These are the informal selection context, the involvement of informal advisors, and relationship-related evaluation criteria. The study moreover shows that the context-specific attitude (openness, defensiveness, readiness to delegate) of the family business decision-maker regulates affect infusion. Lastly, the study demonstrates that sabotage in the selection process can occur in high-affect infusion scenarios. Contributions and implications for future research are discussed.
