Title
Entrepreneurial intention-action gap in family firms as a result of bifurcation bias? A look at the dark side of socioemotional wealth
Author
Abstract
This study investigates under which conditions entrepreneurial intentions will transform into entrepreneurial actions in a family firm context. Although entrepreneurial intentions are often a good predictor for entrepreneurial activity, intentions will not always lead to the expected action. We aim to explain this intention-behavior gap in family firms by investigating the moderating role of the dark side of socioemotional wealth. Our results support the argument that the goal of socioemotional wealth preservation in family firms may lead to a bifurcation bias that hinders the smooth transition of entrepreneurial intentions into entrepreneurial actions.
