Abstract
This study proposed a unique form of family-government relationship established via marriage: political marriage. Using a sample of 164 marriage events of family firm members collected in China, we found that political marriage was positively related to family firm performance beyond the effects of traditional political ties. Furthermore, we found that length of marriage positively moderated the relationship between political marriage and firm performance. There was a three-way interactive effect of political marriage, length of marriage, marital quality on firm performance in such a way that the positive effect of political marriage was the strongest when length of marriage was long and marital quality was low.
