Abstract The paper studies the relationship between intergenerational entrepreneurs’ differences and succession performance. Through a three-stage questionnaire survey of 396 valid samples, the results show that after intergenerational succession, the reduction of the social network size, joint strength and network density of the successor entrepreneurs relative to the former entrepreneurs has a negative impact on the relationship performance and business performance of the enterprise succession, but the impact of network centrality difference has not been obtained confirmed; organizational silence plays a mediating role in the relationship between social capital and succession performance; through a moderated mediation model, it is found that the above mediating effect is affected by the inheritance model, that is, the closer relationship between the former entrepreneur and the successor, the stronger influence of difference between intergenerational entrepreneur social capital on organizational silence, and ultimately the stronger effect on succession performance. The research results reveal the mechanism of difference between intergenerational entrepreneur social capital affecting family business succession performance through organizational silence and the context of the inheritance model from the perspective of social capital network structure, which enriches the theoretical research on social capital network structure and also provides a new perspective for the research of family business succession performance.
