Journal of Family Business Strategy, 2024, vol. 15, issue 3

Abstract: Despite the efforts to contextualize human resource management to family firms, scientific literature addressing this study domain suffers from limited systematization. The article arranges an integrative framework to make sense of the challenges faced by family firms in designing and implementing human resource management practices. Bibliographic coupling was run on an intellectual core of 69 papers to illuminate dominant research streams. Besides, co-citation was executed to determine the conceptual roots nurturing recent scholarly advancements. A dance between formality and informality of human resource management practices characterizes extant research, calling for developments to understand how family firms can deal with it.
