Abstract
This study was undertaken to determine the effect of the family members' role on family controlled firm performance and nonfamily workers' turnover using Anemaw Alemu Business Group as a case study. The study assessed the role of family members to business performance, the effect of the role of family members on nonfamily workers and the primary reasons for turnover of nonfamily workers; and measured the net effect (positive or negative) of all these three on the organization performance.
