Capturing the familiness of family businesses: the development of a multidimensional scale

Beschreibung

The goal of this paper is the development of the first familiness scale that aims at measuring the actual family influence as opposed to the potential family influence on the business. In three studies, we examined the topic of familiness with qualitative and quantitative empirical approaches. Multiple in-depth cases studies, a pre-test and a validation study led to a scale comprising three dimensions (involvement, essence and identity) and seven sub-dimensions (ownership, management and control; proficiency level of active family members; sharing of information between family members; transgenerational orientation; employee orientation; business family identity; and family business identity) with 25 items. Based on a new system theory framework, our research delivers a promising approach grasping the heterogeneity and complexity of family business.
