【讲座简介】This study explores the impact of family structure on firm outcome in familiy businesses. We focus on the two aspects of family structure: close kinship ties and child birth.  To better understand the micro-antecedents of organizational actions, we leverage the regulatory focus theory and suggest that family structure will have an impact on firm promotion and prevention focus and subsequent strategic behaviors. More specifically, we argue that close kinship family structure can influence family firm regulatory focus based on their desire and aspiration for control, growth, and legacy, and regulatory focus in turn can influence firm strategic actions such as corporate social responsibility and financial misconduct. Furthermore, we integrate the one-child policy through the birth gender imbalance at the local level and develop the moderating hypotheses. Our data and analyses drawn from family firms in China support our theory. This study answers the call for a deeper understanding of family structure to explain organization actions.
