| Summary: | With professionalisation mooted as the key for survival and growth of family businesses,
this study examined the motivations for nine professional mangers to join local Chinese

expected job nature, control and autonomy at work, career prospects and attractive
compensation packages. These motivations were traced to the information that they
received about the firms and jobs at the onset of the offer and to their personal aspirations and motives. |
