Furthermore, he sheds light on the outcomes of stakeholder trust for family businesses and relevant contingency factors.Antecedents and outcomes of stakeholder trust in family businesses.- An application of the integrative model of organizational trust.- The influence of family ownership on stakeholders perceptions of trustworthiness.- Family businesses ability to attract new talent: who is attracted and under what conditions?
