Juggling attention spaces: impact of regulatory focus dispersion on firm performance in family and non-family businesses
基于注意力基础观，研究调节焦点分散对家族与非家族企业绩效的不同影响，发现家族企业绩效随调节焦点分散而下降，非家族企业则上升。
Abstract This study employs the attention-based view (ABV) to examine the impact of regulatory focus dispersion on family and non-family firms. Guided by the socioemotional wealth framework, family firms face challenges as diverse regulations threaten family firm performance. Family firms (non-family firms) realize negative (positive) performance with increasing regulatory focus dispersion. This research contributes by integrating ABV with family firm characteristics and regulatory focus dispersion, offering implications for increasingly regulatory environments.
