Abstract
We examine whether a controlling family’s influence in their family business relates to the business’s human resources practices and how the ethical viewpoint of those in control of the business affects this relationship. We find that family influence is positively related to hiring, promotion, and compensation practices that favor family members over nonfamily members. We also find that pro-family compensation practices are positively related to family business owners’ assessment of their business’s ethical stringency. We discuss the potential consequences of family business owners who strongly influence their businesses and knowingly create inequitable compensation practices that favor family employees.
