How Harmonious Family Encourages Individuals to Enter Entrepreneurship: A View from Conservation of Resource Theory International Journal of Conflict Management 31,3 (4 June 2020): DOI: 10.1108/IJCMA-09-2019-0176.

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to examine the roles of one's original family and current family in influencing his or her entering entrepreneurial endeavors. Specifically, individuals' original family is also crucial for entrepreneurship, which has been neglected by prior studies to a large extent. Moreover, the authors argue that a good marital relationship between two parents within the original family could facilitate an entrepreneurial spirit by providing better family support, whereas a good relationship with one’s life partner or spouse within their current family could also increase the likelihood of entrepreneurial activities through reducing work stress. Design/methodology/approach: The authors use two archival data sets: National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 and 2013 Global Entrepreneurship Monitor Adult Population Survey to test whether a harmonious relationship between two parents or with life partner/spouse could encourage individuals to become an entrepreneur and whether family support and work conflict mediate such a relationship. Findings: This study found that parents' relationship in one's adolescence provides individuals with more support, which leads to more entrepreneurial endeavors, whereas the conflicts between two parents will reduce their likelihood of initiating entrepreneurial activities. Besides, a good relationship with one's life partner/spouse can release his/her work stress, which is also important for entrepreneurship development. |

The Child Is Parent of the Adult: A Longitudinal Examination of the Effect of Adolescent Destructive Deviance on Lifetime Career Success Journal of Business Research 144 (May 2022): 535-544. Also: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0148296322001254 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Elsevier Keyword(s): Adolescent Behavior; Career Patterns; Deviance; Income; Life Course; Risk-Taking Drawing upon career stage theory, we investigate the long-term effect of deviance in adolescence on lifetime career success. Specifically, we propose that individuals' destructive deviance in adolescence is positively related to risk-taking propensity, which is then negatively related to their long-term career success (e.g., income increase). The analyses of growth models with a multilevel longitudinal dataset, which includes 12,686 participants with 33,334 year-level career tracks, generally support the hypotheses. Further, we find that educational achievement moderates the relationship between risk-taking propensity and long-time career success. We discuss the implications of these results for research on career development and parenting. |
