Congratulations to Catherine M. Faherty, Postdoctoral Fellow, Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University; and winner of the 2019 Fredric M. Jablin Doctoral Dissertation Award for her dissertation Bound by Blood in the Family Firm? Examining the Effects of Trusting and Feeling Trusted in the Family Firm Top Management Team.
Abstract: This presentation will share findings from a dissertation integrating the organizational trust and family firm literatures to examine the effects of trusting and feeling trusted in family firms - that is, enterprises that are significantly influenced by members of the same family. Primary matched triadic data from chief executive officers (CEOs), family top management team (TMT) members, and non-family TMT members from 79 family firms demonstrate that trusting in, and feeling trusted by, the CEO has important benefits for performance. In addition, results indicate that family TMT members feel more trusted by the family CEO, and perceive him/her as more trustworthy, than non-family TMT members do.
