Padrões afetivos na família e empresa familiar

Abstract

The research upon which this article is based originates in two hypotheses: a) emotional preferences and companionship in the extended family are generally oriented towards the maternal side of the family; b) familyfirms bring together relatives from the paternal side, this translates into the property of family firms being held principally by brothers or by father and brothers. The two hypotheses confirmed, there occurs within familyfirms, among other phenomena already studied, an incompatibility between the family sphere and the sphere of the firm. Considering that the same group of people is involved in each of these spheres (family and firm), such an incompatibility, produces eftects.
