关系身份视角下夫妻创业共同领导行为探索性研究

摘要/Abstract

摘要： 夫妻创业由夫妇共同领导，但夫妇如何在双重身份下实现领导权共享尚未引起学术界广泛关注。为此，引入夫妻关系身份视角，采用探索性案例分析法，以一家夫妻创业型企业为研究对象，构建创业情境下夫妻共同领导行为模型。研究发现，第一，夫妻创业情境下，关系身份促进夫妇在共同领导中形成组织协同效应。角色身份确保夫妻共同领导权力结构平衡，而配偶身份在共同领导者之间形成情感连接。第二，关系身份作用于夫妇共同决策、整合资源、协调行动过程中，并进一步促进新创企业机会的识别和利用。研究表明，夫妻关系身份既维护了夫妻共同领导的结构特征，又为推动新创企业成长提供情境依据。

Abstract: Copreneurship is jointly led by the couple, but how they share leadership under dual identities has not been widely explored in the academic community. Based on the perspective of copreneurial identity, this study selects a copreneurial firm as the research object and adopts the exploratory case study method to construct a theoretical model for copreneurial co-leadership behavior. This study finds that: (1) Copreneurial identity promotes the formation of organizational synergy when the spouse leads together. In other words, role identity ensures the balance of power structure of copreneurial co-leadership, while the spouse identity forms the emotional connection between the co-leaders. (2) Copreneurial identity plays an important role in the process of joint decision-making, integrating resources and coordinating actions by couples, which further promotes the identification and utilization of opportunities for new ventures. This study shows that the copreneurial identity not only maintains the structural characteristics of copreneurial co-leadership, but also provides a situational basis for promoting the growth of new ventures.

Key words: copreneurship, role identity, spouse identity, co-leadership
