Description
Summary:This study divided households in which at least one member is involved in managing a family business into two groups: those in which one individual performs two roles, family manager and business manager, and those in which two different individuals perform the two roles. The study compares adjustment strategies that the two groups use to manage the overlap of business and family demands within and across the two family types. Findings suggest that the individual performing dual roles is more likely than two separate managers to make adjustments by bringing the household responsibilities to the business and the business responsibilities home.
