Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
In this study, we examine the impact of the membership status of the founders of family firms on transgenerational succession intention in a Chinese context. Based on data concerning 1983 family firms in China, we find that certain forms of organizational membership on the part of founders (i.e., party, political or business membership) are positively associated with succession intention. In addition, we consider two kinds of moderating effect: family control and institutional environment. Family control weakens the relationship between social identity and succession intention; however, institutional environment strengthens this relationship. These results are robust to a variety of sensitivity tests. The study extends our understanding of how and why family firms’ succession behavior varies as a result of individuals’ sociological traits, particularly in the context of Chinese family firms, and has important implications for the task of sustainable family firm development.
