Abstract: The article investigates the employment of non-family employees by family firms. The opinions such employees hold regarding the procedures and policies of such firms, and the impact of these opinions on employee turnover, are analyzed. Theories of person-organization fit and stewardship are used to explain the effects of family influence on non-family employees' perceptions. It is said that up to two-thirds of all businesses may be owned or managed by family groups. The distinctive features of such arrangements, in terms of both facilitation and restriction, are addressed.
