Drawing on threshold theory, we examine the effects of attributes of alternative opportunities on persistence decisions of family business entrepreneurs. The results of our conjoint experiment show that: (a) family business entrepreneurs are generally more persistent than other entrepreneurs and (b) family business entrepreneurs focus more on non-financial benefits than other entrepreneurs. Our study contributes to persistence literature within the family business context and provides a good basis for how family business literature can benefit from multi-level theoretical and empirical modelling.

持久性决定：不只是钱

基于阈值理论，我们研究了替代机会的属性对家族企业企业家的持久性决策的影响。我们联合实验的结果表明：（a）家族企业企业家通常比其他企业家更具持久性；（b）家族企业企业家比其他企业家更关注非金融利益。我们的研究为家族企业背景下的持久性文献做出了贡献，并为家族企业文献如何从多层次的理论和经验模型中受益提供了良好的基础。
