Abstract: Based on the analysis of survey data of 121 family enterprises in China, we find that the relationship between job satisfaction and turnover intention is insignificant for family members, but significant for nonfamily members. Moreover, our findings also indicate that the effect of job satisfaction on work performance is less salient for family members, but more significant for non-family members. Our results further show that managerial positions moderates the main effects. This paper enriches the literature of family business by examining the importance of family membership and managerial position in the governance of family enterprises in an emerging country.Basé sur une enquete de 121 entreprises familiales en Chine, nos résultats montrent que la relation entre la satisfaction au travail et l'intention de rotation est non-significative pour les membres de la famille, mais significative pour les autres. De plus, nos résultats indiquent que l'effet de la satisfaction au travail sur le rendement au travail est moins important pour les membres de la famille, mais plus important pour les non-membres de la famille. Nos résultats montrent en outre que l'occupation d'un poste de direction modere l'influence de l'appartenance à la famille dans les principaux effets mentionnés ci-dessus.
