This panel symposium addresses the understudied intersection of human resource management (HRM) and organizational behavior (OB) within family firms. Scholars, drawing from social exchange, stewardship, social capital, and job embeddedness theories, will discuss key HRM and OB topics including leadership, staffing, motivation, organizational citizenship behaviors, and retention. The symposium aims to advance microfoundations linking HRM practices to employee behavior and family firm outcomes, offering theoretical perspectives and suggesting future research directions.
