Abstract

This study challenges the current and dominant notion that psychological ownership is static by exploring its dynamic nature. It addresses how individual family business owners express their psychological ownership and how psychological ownership is impacted over time. Based on a longitudinal and qualitative study during a real-time exit, we conclude that family business owners assign meanings to their psychological ownership that are individual, multifold, enduring and volatile. Furthermore, we conclude that the dynamics of psychological ownership imply that it varies in meanings, among individuals, and in presence and duration of meanings. We also conclude that it is influenced by contextual circumstances, and that it is possible to liberate oneself cognitively and emotionally from psychological ownership.

离开家族企业:心理所有权的动态
本研究通过探索心理所有权的动态本质,挑战了当前主流的“心理所有权是静态的”观念。它讨论了个体家族企业主如何表达他们的心理所有权以及心理所有权如何随着时间的推移而受到影响。基于实时退出过程中的纵向和定性研究,我们得出结论,家族企业主赋予其心理所有权的意义具有个体性、多重性、持久性和波动性。此外,我们得出结论,心理所有权的动态意味着它在意义上、在个体之间、在意义的存在和持续时间上是不同的。我们还得出结论,它受到情境的影响,并且有可能在认知和情感上将自己从心理所有权中解放出来。
