This research adopted a qualitative research method to understand the barriers and motivational factors that face daughters’ succession in family businesses. 16 interviews were conducted focusing on daughters whose family owns a business. The results indicated a significant impact of motivation on barriers that hinder daughters’ succession. Implications and future research are discussed.
