The purpose of this research work
was to provide a description of the
sense of belonging and commitment
on the part of shareholding family
members in family-owned businesses
specialized in the road construction
industry. The design of this research
work is descriptive, non-experimental
and cross-sectional in nature. First,
company owners were interviewed
in order to identify family-owned
businesses. A questionnaire was then
administered to 64 managers who
were also board of director members
at these companies. The findings
demonstrate a stronger sense of belonging
than commitment to their organizations.
It can be concluded that
these factors impact generational
transition because shareholders who
are also family members are part of
the board of directors at these kinds
of companies.
