Abstract Based on social exchange theory and through the method of dual case studies, this study selects “independent development” and “maternal support” two types of spinoffs’ entrepreneurs as the research objects, and summarizes four core constructs, including “maternal exchange relationship situation” “exchange relationship risk cognition” “trust boosts commitment fluctuation” and “rebuild new exchange balance”. On this basis, two different commitment spanning paths of spin-off entrepreneurs called “sequential” and “staggered” are identified. These findings not only extend the social exchange theory and entrepreneurial theory, but also can effectively guide the spanning of organizational commitment in the context of spin-off.
