We're excited to announce a new, interdisciplinary special issue of Family Business Review guest edited by a multi-disciplinary team of scholars from different disciplines, bridging the psychology and management fields with a focus on family firms! One approach to enhancing our knowledge of family businesses is to explore the characteristics of actual judgement and decision processes within such firms (De Bondt & Thaler, 1995). These processes are informed by psychology research, which aims to describe, predict, explain, and change human and social behavior (Pastorino & Doyle-Portillo, 2013), and has the potential to align with the boundary-spanning nature of family business research (Holt, Pearson, Payne, & Sharma, 2018). Thus, psychology research may enable family business scholars to extend and enrich the current predictions about family firm behavior.
We are seeking papers from scholars from different fields that make use of psychological research and especially, research on the psychology of social relationships, to advance family business studies (Zahra & Newey, 2009).
