Abstract

This qualitative study explores the social commitment of next-generation business family members (next gens). Drawing on semistructured interviews, we identify different types of nextgen caregivers. Their approaches to social commitment span across two dimensions: the feminist/paternalistic caring dimension and the family business/nonfamily business dimension. Our findings contribute to the ethics of care by examining the nuanced tradeoffs between care and justice in the social commitment of next gens. We differentiate feminist caring from paternalistic caring, a more implicit and traditional approach often embedded in family business contexts.
