Research On The Impact Of Intergenerational Conflict On The Entrepreneurial Performance Of The Second Generation Successor

In recent years,family business has become an important hot topic all over the world,and more and more attention has been paid to the second-generation successors of family business.The second generation successors generally refer to the successors and successors of family enterprises.They belong to the young generation of non-public economic people and are the key unity object of the current national united front work.It is estimated that more than 3 million family generations will reach the retirement age in the next 10 years,and family businesses must face the severe inheritance challenges [1].On the one hand,the second generation successors need to prove themselves and open up their own world,so they must face the challenge of cross generation entrepreneurship of family enterprises;On the other hand,it is also recognized within the family business that the second generation of successors can bring opportunities for the transformation and revitalization of the family business.However,in reality,the second generation successors often face complex intergenerational conflicts,which makes them have negative entrepreneurial emotions,resulting in unsatisfactory results of cross generation entrepreneurship.How to alleviate this negative impact has become the focus of current research.Based on entrepreneurial emotion theory and social capital theory,this paper takes the second-generation successors from 24 provinces or regions as the research object,introduces intergenerational conflict as the independent variable,entrepreneurial passion as the intermediary variable and cross generational entrepreneurial performance as the dependent variable,and focuses on the regulatory role of the two network relationships of generation society and business.Firstly,on the basis of consulting relevant literature,this paper combs the concepts and dimensions of intergenerational conflict,entrepreneurial passion and other variables,and discusses the relationship between the variables involved in this paper.Secondly,it explores the entrepreneurial emotion theory and social capital theory,constructs a theoretical model including one intermediary variable and two regulatory variables,and puts forward relevant assumptions based on the model.Thirdly,through interviews,pre research and formal research,a total of 247 valid data were recovered in this paper.Through data analysis,13 hypotheses proposed in this paper are tested:first,the negative impact of three-dimensional intergenerational conflict(i.e.task conflict,relationship conflict and process conflict)on cross generational entrepreneurial performance is verified in the data results.Second,the mediating role of entrepreneurial passion has been verified by the data results.Thirdly,it verifies the regulatory role of the first generation social network,that is,the relationship between the first generation social network can alleviate the negative impact of three-dimensional intergenerational conflict on the entrepreneurial passion of the second generation.Fourth,it verifies the regulatory role of the first generation business network.Under the regulatory role of the first generation business network,the second generation successors with entrepreneurial passion have a negative impact on their entrepreneurial performance.Finally,it analyzes the data results,discusses the results of hypothesis test,puts forward the management enlightenment of this paper,summarizes the limitations of this theory and puts forward the prospect.
