Abstract
Biases and paradoxes are inherently context-dependent phenomena, as they are influenced by various contextual factors that can either magnify or diminish their prominence. In the realm of family entrepreneurship, these contextual intricacies are particularly pronounced due to the confluence of family life, family values, and family and business objectives. Nonetheless, the literature on family entrepreneurship has largely neglected exploration of whether the biases exhibited by family entrepreneurs are intricately linked to, stem from, and predict paradoxes. In this research, we gather, assess, and synthesize current literature to uncover whether and how biases of family entrepreneurs are linked with paradoxes—unique in the family entrepreneurship context—and how they affect behavior in family businesses. Our main contribution lies in the construction of an encompassing framework informed by the lens of value heterogeneity. This integrative framework aims to guide future research and hence to push research on the link between biases and paradoxes of family entrepreneurs further.

将家族创业背景下的偏见和悖论联系起来:未来研究的综合框架
摘要
偏见和悖论本质上是依赖于背景的现象,因为它们受到各种背景因素的影响,这些因素可以放大或削弱它们的重要性。在家族创业领域,由于家庭生活、家庭价值观以及家庭和企业目标的融合,这些错综复杂的背景尤其明显。尽管如此,有关家族企业家精神的文献在很大程度上忽视了对家族企业家所表现出的偏见是否与悖论错综复杂地联系在一起、源于悖论并预测悖论的探索。在这项研究中,我们收集、评估和综合当前的文献,以揭示家族企业家的偏见是否以及如何与悖论(在家族创业背景下独一无二)相关联,以及它们如何影响家族企业的行为。我们的主要贡献在于构建了一个以价值异质性为视角的包容性框架。这一综合框架旨在指导未来的研究,从而进一步推动对家族企业家偏见与悖论之间联系的研究。
