“…Vacillation focuses on shifting back and forth between conflicting demands at different times or in different contexts (Putnam et al, 2016). For family businesses, vacillations often take the form of adjusting family resources to support the business or vice versa (e.g., putting off household tasks to undertake business activities or deferring business demands to spend more time with family; see Lee, Fitzgerald, & Bartkus, 2017) or intertwining tasks such as doing business work at home (Lee et al, 2017). Such adjustments are often used during hectic times in the family/business, but the pattern of use differs across cultures and genders (e.g., male owners are more business oriented; see Fitzgerald, Winter, Miller, & Paul, 2001; Lee et al, 2017).…”

“…The most common third parties include other family members, such as a spouse or a parent (Janjuha-Jivraj, 2004), nonfamily members, family consultants (Kellermanns & Eddleston, 2006), family therapists, arbitrators, or lawyers (Fahed-Sreih, 2018; Haynes, Usdin, Begler, Kaye, & Kaslow, 1997; Lee & Danes, 2012). Sometimes, family businesses also seek volunteer help from family members or friends or hire temporary help for either the business or the family to address work–family conflicts (Lee et al, 2017).…”

This review examines how family businesses manage family-related conflicts that occur at three interfaces: family-business, family-ownership, and family-business-ownership. We find that work-family conflicts, conflicts of interest, and relationship conflicts are prevalent family-related conflicts. Four conflict management strategies are frequently used to deal with these conflicts: vacillation, domination, separation, and third-party intervention. The popularity of these strategies is influenced by some unique characteristics of family businesses, such as high emotional attachment among family members. By integrating insights from the broader conflict research, paradox and dialectic studies, we develop a research agenda targeted at better connecting family-related conflicts to conflict management strategies.

“…In addition, the impact of information technology resources on economic, social, symbolic, and other capital use warrants further research. Lee et al ( 2017 ) explored the use of adjustment strategies by minority owners. The opportunity exists to utilize the model developed by Lee et al to examine public policy issues, such as the impact of the pandemic on family businesses and access to economic stimulus programs.…”

Family business research: Reviewing the past, contemplating the future

This paper reviews articles published in the Journal of Family and Economic Issues (JFEI) from 2010 to 2019 and considers future research opportunities. The JFEI articles utilize theories and conceptual frameworks from several social science fields, to help readers understand the importance of including both the family and business in any discussion of family businesses. The literature review addresses four family business topical areas: (1) household and business economics, (2) business continuity and succession, (3) managerial and adoption strategies, and (4) values and goals. These JFEI articles have focused on differentiating family businesses from other types of businesses; explaining the unique interface between the family and the business; and identifying the characteristics (i.e., demographics, adjustment strategies, continuity, capitals, and values and goals) for family business survival and success. In the future, family business researchers have the opportunity to better understand the impact of community resources and climate; more carefully assess the challenges of women, minorities, and immigrants; understand the role of cultural capital; and explore the impact of innovation during rapidly changing times, such as those created by the pandemic.

“…The most common variable to emerge from our review is gender (e.g., Fitzgerald et al, 2001; Otten-Pappas, 2013; Randerson et al, 2015). Findings surrounding gender are consistent across researchers: Women in FBs often shoulder more home and family care responsibilities compared with men (Smith, 2000), women are more affected by tensions surrounding business issues and the negative impact of those tensions on both the family and the business (Danes & Olson, 2003), and women business owners are more likely than men business owners to reallocate resources from family to work to help the business (Y. G. Lee et al, 2017).…”

Uncovering Implicit Assumptions: Reviewing the Work–Family Interface in Family Business and Offering Opportunities for Future Research

The work–family interface (WFI) in family businesses (FBs) is an underrecognized area of research. The permeable nature of the boundaries in FBs between work and family is often treated as self-evident and as preventing (rather than inviting) research. We review the WFI in FBs based on 72 published articles and highlight implicit assumptions that have given rise to gaps in this literature. We show how boundary theory, the work–home resources model and the resource-based view can be used to highlight issues related to ownership, work–family enrichment, and contextual factors at the individual, family, and firm domains.
