In this study, we take an interest in how family business members create their emotion rules and emotion boundaries in and between the two spheres of business and family and how they manage these. We show that this management of emotion boundaries affects the quality of strategic decisions. We conclude that family members create emotion rules and emotion boundaries based on the meanings and understandings of time, space, and/or the relationships that are embedded within the family business emotion-framing rules. Depending on their concern for their own interests and goals, family goals and/or family business goals, they engage in emotional displays that lead to emotional balance, dissonance, or stamina. We reveal how emotional displays affect the decision outcome quality. We therefore contribute to the literature on the role of emotion boundary management in strategic management by evaluating a specific context where the spheres of family and business overlap with more complexity than in a typical case.

在这项研究中，我们感兴趣的是家族企业成员如何在企业和家庭两个领域内和之间创建他们的情感规则和情感界限，以及他们如何管理这些。我们表明，这种情绪边界管理会影响战略决策的质量。我们得出的结论是，家族成员根据对时间、空间和/或嵌入家族企业情感框架规则中的关系的含义和理解来创建情感规则和情感边界。根据他们对自己的兴趣和目标、家庭目标和/或家族企业目标的关注，他们会进行导致情绪平衡、不和谐或耐力的情绪表现。我们揭示了情绪表现如何影响决策结果的质量。
