“…We argue that management control practices and managers' perceptions of these practices might stimulate stewardship attitudes and behaviors if aligned with procedural justice principles (Lubatkin, Ling, & Schulze, 2007). This is consistent with the understanding that stewardship behavior also stems from the social context of the organization (Davis et al, 2010;Davis et al, 1997;Simon et al, 2012), as well as management practices (Henssen, Voordeckers, Lambrechts, & Koiranen, 2014;Hernandez, 2012;James et al, 2017;Simon et al, 2012).…”

“…The characteristics of collaboration, autonomy, and responsibility of control systems have also an indirect association with stewardship (Hernandez, 2012). In this sense, we propose Since management control mechanisms' fair design is expected to be positively related to the stewardship identification (Davis et al, 2010;Henssen et al, 2014;Hernandez, 2012) and stewardship-oriented culture (Hernandez, 2012;Neubaum et al, 2017;Simon et al, 2012), and these dimensions of management control mechanisms are associated positively with procedural justice (Hartmann & Slapničar, 2009;Langevin & Mendoza, 2013), we argue that procedural justice partially mediates the relationship between management control mechanisms' fair design and stewardship. Therefore, we hypothesize that:…”

“…Frank et al (2016, p. 712) "define a family business as a communication system incorporating the decision premises shaped by a family […] to enable business-related communication". For these authors, decision premises (Simon, 2012) are "communicatively constructed realities that frame the decision-making processes in organizations" (Frank et al, 2016, p. 713). Despite the differences around SEW and familiness (in the NST perspective) approaches, the concept around decision premises is similar to the discussion of reference points of decision in the SEW theoretical framework.…”

“…Second, family members are bounded by social ties, organizational identification, and emotional attachment (Berrone, Cruz, & Gomez-Mejia, 2012;Davis et al, 2010;Gómez-Mejía, Haynes, Núñez-Nickel, Jacobson, & Moyano-Fuentes, 2007;Le Breton-Miller, Miller, & Lester, 2011). In these firms, the values of altruism, collectivism, and trust, may be more present than in nonfamily firms (Corbetta & Salvato, 2004;Simon et al, 2012) which foster manager's efforts to achieve a better performance in the organization.…”

“…, 1999). There is evidence in the family business literature that those management control mechanisms design characteristics (being participation and formality in goal setting and performance evaluation) might also be associated with stewardship Henssen et al, 2014;Hernandez, 2012;Madison et al, 2016;Neubaum et al, 2017;Pearson & Marler, 2010;Simon et al, 2012).…”

This study replicates a research undertaken in 2008 by Lambrecht and Lievens, Pruning the Family Tree: An Unexplored Path to Family Business Continuity and Family Harmony . Adopting an extended replication approach, this work analyzes a sample of family firms in Sardinia to investigate how and why family businesses prune the family tree to safeguard family harmony and business continuity. Our findings confirm that pruning is an effective strategy for managing complexity, increasing firm performance, and supporting succession plans. We extend the original study by stressing the relevance of pruning during succession.
