Daughters’ careers in family business: Motivation types and family-specific barriers
2020, Journal of Family Business StrategyCitation Excerpt :Thus, it is a remarkable finding that ethical motivations are of paramount importance to engage women in leading positions in their family business. According to previous research, it was not clear whether daughters’ motivation to help family (Dumas, 1998; Salganicoff, 1990; Song, 1995; Vera & Dean, 2005) also spills-off to other firm stakeholders. This question is important in light of the socio-emotional wealth (SEW) perspective, which states that family members often have non-financial goals in addition, or even in contradiction, to financial goals (Berrone, Cruz, & Gomez-Mejia, 2012), and that benefits of increased SEW may or may not spill over to other stakeholders of the company (Zellweger, Kellermanns, Chrisman, & Chua, 2012; Miller & Breton‐Miller, 2014; Newbert & Craig, 2017).
