Working in small family businesses: empirical comparisons to non-family businesses

Article Abstract:

The type of behavioral interrole conflict between work and family roles does not appear to be stronger in family businesses, where personal advantage and family expectations are also stronger. Individuals also involved in a family business were also better off, more satisfied with their careers, more committed to the organization, and perhaps were somewhat less likely to quit compared to those in non-family comparison groups.
