Autores/as

This research works toward the identification of the factors that comprise the process of socialization, involvement and initial belonging of descendants in family businesses and the key relationships between them. By means of a qualitative detailed study of four cases, complemented by a quantitative survey of 274 Colombian family businesses, the authors generate a new model that takes into account both factors explored in previous research as well as others identified in this study. Findings confirm the specific dependency of each stage on the subsequent ones; socialization influences involvement, which in turn influences the belonging of the descendants to the family business, with a strong presence of factors such as knowledge, leadership, mode, timing, and motivation. Those responsible for the orientation of potential successors may examine these findings in order to optimize their preparation efforts and support of family human resources for the continuity of the business.

Esta investigación busca identificar los factores que se involucran en el proceso de socialización, vinculación y pertenencia inicial de descendientes en empresas familiares, así como los vínculos entre dichos factores. A través de un estudio de caso detallado de corte cualitativo aplicado a cuatro empresas, los autores proponen un modelo que incorpora factores previamente identificados en otros estudios, junto con nuevos factores producto del presente trabajo. Los hallazgos de esta investigación confirman la dependencia específica de cada etapa en las fases posteriores; la etapa de socialización influye en la de participación, la cual, por su parte, tiene influencia en la etapa de pertenencia de los descendientes en una empresa familiar. Se encuentra además una presencia marcada de factores como el conocimiento, el liderazgo, el modo y el momento de ingreso y la motivación. Aquellas personas responsables de orientar a sucesores potenciales pueden analizar estos hallazgos, con el fin de optimizar su trabajo de preparación y apoyo a los recursos humanos de una familia, en procura de la continuidad de este tipo de organizaciones.
