    We extend the socioemotional wealth (SEW) perspective by arguing that SEW can be negatively associated with proactive stakeholder engagement (PSE). We further suggest that the SEW dimensions can be associated with positive or negative valence. Lastly, we propose that negatively valenced SEW dimensions lead to family centric behavior, which negatively affects PSE. This multifaceted conceptualization of SEW allows us to explain how family firms can partake in harmful stakeholder behaviors despite having seemingly strong SEW. Our paper suggests that SEW can be either an affective endowment or burden for family firms and their constituents.

    Family firms are thought to pursue non-financial goals that provide socioemotional wealth but socioemotional wealth is feasible only with family control of the firm. Using prospect theory, we hypothesize that socioemotional wealth increases with the extent of current control, duration of control, and intentions for transgenerational control thus adding to the price at which owners would be willing to sell their firms to non-family buyers. Findings from two countries show that current control has no impact and duration of control has a mixed impact. However, intention for transgenerational control has a consistent positive impact on the perceived acceptable selling price
