This study intends to contribute to this Special Issue by investigating a relevant topic that inspires numerous studies and deserves to be deepened from several perspectives: daughters’ succession. Specifically, building on the family embeddedness perspective, this paper investigates an unexplored field, trying to answer the following question: What happens when a woman becomes a mother after being involved in a family firm? Based on a multiple-case study of four small family-owned firms, this study shows interesting academic and practical implications, revealing four issues that daughters experience when they attain motherhood after being involved in a family firm, namely, family discouragement, family–coach approach, family persuasion and role demotion, resulting in intertwining among family support, family protectiveness and daughter self-efficacy.
Questo studio intende contribuire a questo numero speciale della rivista approfondendo un tema rilevante che ispira un numero crescente di studi e che merita di essere approfondito da più prospettive: la successione delle figlie. Nel dettaglio, questo lavoro, basato sulla prospettiva del radicamento familiare, si focalizza su un campo inesplorato, con l’intento di rispondere al seguente quesito di ricerca: Cosa succede quando una donna diventa madre successivamente al suo ingresso nell’impresa di famiglia? Sulla base di un multiple case study di quattro piccole aziende a conduzione familiare, i risultati mostrano interessanti implicazioni accademiche e pratiche, introducendo quattro diversi approcci che le figlie sperimentano quando diventano madri dopo essere state coinvolte in un'azienda di famiglia: scoraggiamento; spinta motivazionale; persuasione familiare; demansionamento -, risultanti dell'intreccio tra sostegno familiare, protezione familiare e autoefficacia della figlia.

Abstract
This study intends to contribute to this Special Issue by investigating a relevant topic that inspires numerous studies and deserves to be deepened from several perspectives: daughters’ succession. Specifically, building on the family embeddedness perspective, this paper investigates an unexplored field, trying to answer the following question: What happens when a woman becomes a mother after being involved in a family firm? Based on a multiple-case study of four small family-owned firms, this study shows interesting academic and practical implications, revealing four issues that daughters experience when they attain motherhood after being involved in a family firm, namely, family discouragement, family–coach approach, family persuasion and role demotion, resulting in intertwining among family support, family protectiveness and daughter self-efficacy.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
