Abstract

Managers make comprehensive strategic decisions to cope with environmental challenges. Questions remain regarding how different types of leadership styles influence top management team (TMT) strategic decision comprehensiveness (SDC) and firm performance. This study explores the impact of two different CEO leadership styles on TMT SDC and subsequent firm performance, considering the moderating role of TMT cognitive conflict. Based on data from 357 questionnaires of 126 firms in China, we found that 1) CEO empowering leadership positively affects SDC; 2) CEO directive leadership generates an inverted U-shaped effect on SDC; 3) the effect of SDC on firm performance is positive; and 4) TMT cognitive conflict weakens the relationship between CEO empowering leadership and SDC. This study takes a systematic approach by integrating CEO-TMT dynamics into SDC, which in turn affects firm performance, and thus offers a holistic view of how upper echelons influence firm performance.

摘要

管理者需做出全面的战略决策以应对环境挑战。不同类型的领导风格如何影响高管团队的战略决策全面性和企业绩效仍然是一个问题。本研究探讨了两种不同的CEO领导风格对高管团队战略决策全面性以及企业绩效的影响，并考虑了高管团队认知冲突的调节作用。基于126家中国企业的357份问卷数据，本研究发现：1）CEO授权型领导对战略决策全面性有积极的影响；2）CEO 命令型领导对战略决策全面性产生倒U型影响；3）战略决策全面性对企业绩效的影响是积极的；4）TMT认知冲突削弱了CEO授权型领导与战略决策全面性的关系。本研究采用了系统的观点将CEO-TMT动态整合到战略决策全面性中，而这又会影响企业绩效，从而为高阶梯队如何影响企业绩效提供了一个整体视角。

Аннотация

Руководители принимают комплексные стратегические решения, чтобы отвечать на сложные вызовы во внешней среде. Однако, не совсем ясно то, каким образом различные стили руководства влияют на полноту стратегических решений в команде высшего звена и производительность компании. В этом исследовании изучается влияние двух разных стилей руководства генерального директора на полноту стратегических решений в команде высшего звена и, следовательно, на деятельность компании с учетом регулирующей роли когнитивного конфликта в команде высшего звена. На основании данных из 357 анкет в 126 китайских компаниях, мы обнаружили, что 1) стиль руководства генерального директора, который наделяет полномочиями, положительно влияет на полноту стратегических решений; 2) директивное руководство со стороны генерального директора оказывает на полноту стратегических решений влияние, которое соответствует перевернутой U-образной кривой; 3) влияние полноты стратегических решений на результаты деятельности компании положительное; и 4) когнитивный конфликт в команде высшего звена ослабляет влияние со стороны генерального директора, наделяющего полномочиями, на полноту стратегических решений. Данное исследование использует системный подход и интегрирует влияние взаимоотношений между генеральным директором и командой высшего звена на полноту стратегических решений, что, в свою очередь, влияет на производительность компании; таким образом, данная работа предлагает целостное представление о том, как высшие эшелоны влияют на производительность компании.

Resumen

Los gerentes toman decisiones estratégicas exhaustivas para hacer frente a los desafíos ambientales. Aún quedan preguntas sobre cómo los diferentes tipos de liderazgo influencian la exhaustividad de las decisiones estratégicas del equipo de alta dirección (TMT por sus iniciales en inglés) y desempeño de la empresa. Este estudio explora el impacto de dos estilos de liderazgo diferentes de Directores Generales sobre las decisiones estratégicas del equipo de alta dirección y el desempeño de la empresa subsiguiente, teniendo en cuenta el papel moderador del conflicto cognitivo del equipo de alta dirección. Con base en datos de 357 cuestionarios a 126 empresas en China, encontramos que 1) El liderazgo de empoderamiento del Director General afecta positivamente la exhaustividad de las decisiones estratégicas; 2) El liderazgo directivo del Director General produce un efecto en forma de U invertida sobre la exhaustividad de las decisiones estratégicas; 3) el efecto de la exhaustividad de las decisiones estratégicas en el desempeño de la empresa es positivo; y 4) el conflicto cognitivo del equipo de alta dirección debilita la relación entre el liderazgo de empoderamiento del Director General y la exhaustividad de las decisiones estratégicas. Este estudio adopta un enfoque sistemático al integrar la dinámica entre el Director General y el equipo de alta dirección en la exhaustividad de las decisiones estratégicas, que a su vez afecta el desempeño de la empresa, y ofrece así una visión holística de cómo los niveles superiores influyen en el desempeño de la empresa.
