摘要

Research exploring various dimensions of Family Business (FB) have addressed reasons behind joining FBs, but has neglected the challenges faced by family members who, despite lacking personal interest, feel compelled to participate in FB out of familial love or obligation. To address this concern, the current study examines how affective and normative commitment (AC, NC) of family members toward FB can directly impact work output (WO), with work satisfaction (WS) and job burnout (JB) as mediators (indirect influencer), and job security (JS), work-family conflict (WFC), and work cravings (WC) as moderators. In order to investigate the issue, 320 respondents from five major districts of Odisha, India were surveyed between January–March 2024, and the relationship among the variables were tested using mediation, moderation, and moderated-mediation analysis in SmartPLS 4.1. The results indicate that while AC enhances WO, this relationship is further strengthened by the WS that family members derive from the FB due to their intrinsic motivation. Additionally, when AC is supported by JS, it strengthens family members' commitment to the FB, further boosting their WS and WO. In contrast, NC reduces WO due to obligation-driven commitment to the FB. Moreover, in the presence of WFC, NC leads to JB due to reduced work-life balance, ultimately decreasing WO. Towards the end, the study provides empirical and theoretical insights, emphasizing the need to balance emotional ties with professional standards while integrating Person-Organization-Fit and Perceived-Organizational-Support theories to illustrate how perceived support and value alignment enhance employee attitudes, engagement, and family business success.
