Study 2 is a field survey with a sample of 189 real-world entrepreneurs who had shut down or discontinued a prior business. Study 3 is also a field survey with a sample of 340 ex-entrepreneurs who do not currently operate a business. The results of the three studies demonstrate that entrepreneurs' compulsion (i.e., sensation seeking and workaholism) can suppress cognition (i.e., prior performance feedback) in the decision of whether to reengage in entrepreneurship.

Using role theory as a guide, this study develops a new, theory-based construct associated with hybrid entrepreneurship, which we term as work-to-venture conflict (WVC). WVC reflects how the hybrid entrepreneurship process can create conflict between wage employment and venture-launch roles over time. Using a repeated-measures data collection over 26 weeks using a sample of hybrid entrepreneurs, this study uses growth modeling to test the dynamic nature of WVC and its relationships to wage-related outcomes. We find support for our hypothesized relationships that (a) an increase in startup effort over time for hybrid entrepreneurs is related to increased work-to-venture role conflict, which results in (b) a decrease in job satisfaction and increase in turnover intentions regarding their wage employment.

Consistent with our hypotheses, results from a quantitative study of entrepreneurs (N = 178), as well as a supplemental study involving qualitative interviews with entrepreneurs (N = 15), highlight that entrepreneurs higher in frugality tend to perceive higher levels of environmental hostility.

Briefly, their article reviewed and critiqued not only the many academic definitions associated with family businesses, but more importantly provided a roadmap toward a theoretically derived empirical scale that could be used by future studies to test the relationships between the family, the business, and important theoretically-driven outcomes. At that time, family business definitions were often the result of the choices family business scholars wished to make, either from a research design or from a research question standpoint. For example, a family business research study may have examined or compared family versus nonfamily businesses, and thus an artificial or perhaps arbitrary dichotomy was created to categorize these firms, using some a priori definition. Alternatively, creating an overly complex definition to aid in a study of family firms created challenges associated with generalizability, or perhaps with the degree to which such a definition could be operationalized for empirical testing. Using these challenges as a guide, Astrachan et al. (2002) advocated for a parsimonious, multidimensional approach to aid family business research that emphasized the degree to which the family influences the business along three different continuous dimensions. These three dimensions are (a) the role of power (via ownership, governance, and management participation), (b) the role of experience (via the generational characteristics associated with the business), and (c) the role of culture (via the family and business value systems that permeate the business). Each of these dimensions provided added clarity to how the family’s influence within a firm can make it more or less associated with the concept of “a family business.” The F-PEC dimension of Power focused heavily on the degree to which the family’s presence within the ownership structure, or the degree to which the family was involved in the governance of the firm, gave it the structural or organizational authority and control to influence the strategic actions the firm engaged in. The dimension of Experience was more strongly related to the influence on the firm that is gained from long-term family engagement. As the firm moved from one generation to the next, the knowledge and experiences gained would translate to a stronger influence on family-centered aspects of the family business. Finally, the Culture dimension captured the deep and prevailing values, expectations, and goals associated with the family’s own value systems, and how those value systems influence the direction of the firm going forward. Each of these dimensions conceptually developed within the Astrachan et al. (2002) study were associated with particular measureable characteristics within the respective firm. Moreover, a subsequent study designed and validated these characteristics and scale items, using a large sample of firms, such that a theoretically useful empirical measure could be used to advance this concept of family business influence within firms (Klein, Astrachan, & Smyrnios, 2005). The impact of the conceptual and empirical development of the F-PEC was considerable, but perhaps more important the concepts behind the F-PEC have inspired numerous research streams within family business. In fact, it could be argued that the degree to which the three dimensions that comprise the F-PEC scale have been expanded upon is perhaps its most lasting contribution. 774979 FBRXXX10.1177/0894486518774979Family Business ReviewCarr et al. research-article2018}, number={2}, journal={FAMILY BUSINESS REVIEW}, author={Carr, Jon C. and De Massis, Alfredo and Pearson, Allison W.}, year={2018}, month={Jun}, pages={198–199} } @article{becton_carr_mossholder_walker_2017, title={Differential Effects of Task Performance, Organizational Citizenship Behavior, and Job Complexity on Voluntary Turnover}, volume={32}, ISSN={["1573-353X"]}, DOI={10.1007/s10869-016-9461-x}, number={4}, journal={JOURNAL OF BUSINESS AND PSYCHOLOGY}, author={Becton, J.

The pursuit of these aspirations and goals leads many family firms to define success or failure in terms of a broader set of outcomes than nonfamily firms. Despite this, family firm research has generally taken a constricted view of family firm outcomes by concentrating on narrowly defined financial performance as measured by accounting and/or market-based indicators. We contend that this somewhat myopic focus has slowed the field’s development to some degree, by constraining our ability to test its fundamental tenets. To address this, we draw on several disciplines to systematically order family firm outcomes within a family firm(s) outcomes model that encompasses both financial and nonfinancial dimensions. While financial performance is important in research and practice, herein we refer to both financial and nonfinancial outcomes and explain how these outcomes map on the family unit and the family firm. Furthermore, we suggest measures that can be used and explain how the model can be applied when researchers select financial and nonfinancial outcomes important to family members as the family firm’s success or failure is gauged.}, number={2}, journal={FAMILY BUSINESS REVIEW}, author={Holt, Daniel T. and Pearson, Allison W. and Carr, Jon C. and Barnett, Tim}, year={2017}, month={Jun}, pages={182–202} } @article{payne_pearson_carr_2017, title={Process and Variance Modeling: Linking Research Questions to Methods in Family Business Research}, volume={30}, ISSN={["1741-6248"]}, DOI={10.1177/0894486516679749}, abstractNote={ Models are an important component of research design that serve as intermediaries between theories and data, often directing decisions about methods and statistics.

While there has been some research on specific recruiting and selection practices, there has been little attention to the strategic aspects of staffing. We investigated relationships between strategic approaches to staffing and small‐firm performance using lagged survey data from 139 founders and owners of small firms. Results indicate that recruiting approaches imitating the practices (processes) of larger businesses are positively related to a perceptual measure of firm performance. Selection approaches stressing a growth orientation are also positively related to firm performance. Finally, founders’ and owners’ perceptions of the strategic importance of human resources moderate the relationship of firm performance with imitative recruiting practices as well as with growth‐oriented selection practices.

Consistent with the liabilities of newness perspective, we suggest that firm age will have a positive moderating effect on postinternationalization survival. Building from the liabilities of aging perspective, we propose that firm age will have a negative moderating effect on postinternationalization short‐term growth. We test these arguments using a longitudinal sample of 787 firms. Results showed that, postinternationalization, younger firms experienced significantly higher rates of short‐term growth than older firms. Findings regarding firm age and survival, postinternationalization, were, however, not conclusive. Overall, our findings indicate that the timing of internationalization has important implications with regard to the short‐term growth of firms.
