This study builds theory on socioemotional wealth (SEW) in family firms and, specifically, proposes a new concept, community SEW, that moves SEW beyond the organizational level of analysis to include the community level of analysis. We find that owner-managers of family farms prioritize preservation of farming on fertile land and protection of the farming community in their region over economic and, in some instances, family interests. That is, owner-managers’ SEW includes the community in which the family is embedded. We discuss implications for SEW research.

社区社会情感财富：宾夕法尼亚州兰开斯特县的保护、继承和农业

本研究建立了关于家族企业社会情感财富 (SEW) 的理论，特别是提出了一个新概念社区 SEW，它将 SEW 超越了组织层面的分析，包括了社区层面的分析。我们发现，家庭农场的所有者经理优先考虑保护肥沃土地上的农业和保护他们地区的农业社区，而不是经济利益，在某些情况下，家庭利益。也就是说，业主经理的 SEW 包括家庭所在的社区。我们讨论对 SEW 研究的影响。
