Abstract
- Family plays an important part in personal lives, career success, and organizational success. This study examines how type of businesses (family business vs. nonfamily business) moderates the relationships between family-to-work conflict (FWC) and job satisfaction and social networks. Results of a study on 158 Chinese business owners indicate that among nonfamily businesses, the relationship between owners’ FWC and job satisfaction is negative, whereas the relationship between their FWC and social networks is positive. Among family businesses, in comparison, owners’ FWC is not related to their job satisfaction and social networks. It is hoped that these findings will offer a springboard for future family business research.
