Despite clear evidence that emotions, both individual- and group-level, matter in shaping family business processes and outcomes, there is a dearth of research on the importance of shared leadership of emotions, especially in the context of family business. Consequently, we seek to expand shared leadership theory to incorporate various aspects of emotions in the family business milieu. We introduce a generalized process model of shared leadership in family firms, then provide a brief overview of emotions. Next, operating within the larger theoretical domain of group emotion, we introduce and work toward developing a theory of shared emotional leadership in and of family business, including representative antecedents and outcomes. We subsequently lay out a research agenda to stimulate future theoretical and empirical work in the general ken.

尽管有明确证据表明，个人和团队层面的情绪对塑造家族企业流程和结果很重要，但缺乏对共同领导情绪的重要性的研究，尤其是在家族企业的背景下。因此，我们寻求扩展共享领导理论，以将情感的各个方面纳入家族企业环境。我们介绍了家族企业共享领导的一般过程模型，然后简要概述了情绪。接下来，在更大的群体情绪理论领域内运作，我们介绍并致力于发展共享情绪领导理论在和家族企业中，包括有代表性的前因和结果。我们随后制定了一项研究议程，以刺激未来在一般知识领域的理论和实证工作。
