Abstract

Currently, family businesses are facing huge competition and economic difficulties aggravated further by the present crisis in which companies are immersed. Additionally, the lack of a specialized human resource management function in these kinds of firms makes an efficient process of generational change difficult, which represents a major challenge for the sustainability of these organizations. The links between family and their emotional ties are, in this regard, an important aspect to consider in human resource management. This chapter examines, in theoretical terms, how emotional capital can be a key factor, not only for attracting and retaining talent, but also for ensuring competitiveness in economic, social and environmental aspects, and therefore its sustainability, understood as a balance of economic, social and environmental performances.
