Family business research across academic disciplines has increasingly considered the causes of “bad behavior” in family firms and its impact. A review of this literature is important because different emphases in different disciplines may obscure the nature of dysfunctional behaviors in family firms. After reviewing 160 studies from 64 journals, we propose family firm dysfunction is better understood by emphasizing the roles the family and the firm’s external environment play because negative behavior often traces to family interactions predating firm engagement and to external pressures. We also present research questions to guide future studies on family firm dysfunction across disciplines.

家族及其企业的不良行为：家族企业功能失调行为回顾

跨学科的家族企业研究越来越多地考虑家族企业“不良行为”的原因及其影响。对这些文献的回顾很重要，因为不同学科的不同侧重点可能会掩盖家族企业功能失调行为的本质。在回顾了 64 种期刊的 160 项研究后，我们建议通过强调家族和公司外部环境所扮演的角色来更好地理解家族企业功能障碍，因为负面行为通常可以追溯到公司参与之前的家族互动和外部压力。我们还提出了研究问题，以指导未来跨学科家族企业功能失调的研究。
