In this essay, the author discusses different factors that affect the decision of career of children with family business background. He categorizes out five categories: personal traits, gender, identification with the family business, perception of fathers’ work conditions and parental succession preference and preparation.
About the gender, according to his research, it indicates that females, although not
actually excluded from the list of
succession candidates, are disadvantaged comparing with male siblings; and offspring
in family businesses who feel that the family firm is an important part of
their self are thought to develop a strong desire to contribute to the family
firm’s success, then they will tend to make a decision to start a career within
the family firm; and fathers’ work condition also play an vital role. The author
revealed that adolescents have relatively accurate impressions of their parents’
work-related effect and that these impressions are significantly linked to
adolescents’ respect for their parents’ jobs, which may affect their decision; furthermore,
research on parent’s role in youth career development demonstrates parents’
influence on adolescents’ career planning (Otto, 2000) and parents, especially
mothers, are found to be the most important advisors of their children in the
process of making career plans; and the last factor is that parents who systematically
prepare their young family members through information and participation in the
family business are likely to contribute to their offspring’s succession
intention.
This essay clearly explained and analysis the condition that adolescents with family background face. How they are affected in the career choosing part in their life by those factors simultaneously.
