【摘要】 高层管理团队(TMT)的结构和过程与组织绩效之间的关系在文献中得到了大量的研究,但什么样的团队组合才能促进组织绩效并没有一致的结论。我们认为,高效的高管团队应该具备3个特点:异质性和由此带来的互补;适当的权力差距;融洽的工作关系。基于中国上市公司的数据,我们分析了董事长和总经理之间的异质性、权力差距和融洽关系与组织绩效之间的关系。结果表明,二者之间的异质性、权力差距和融洽关系都与组织绩效呈现正相关。我们的研究提供了一个关于高管团队结构和过程的综合模型,扩展和丰富了高阶梯队理论,对管理实践也有重要启示。更多还原

【Abstract】 The relationship between the structure and process of Top Management Team(TMT) and organizational performance has attracted extensive scholarly attention, but the question on what kind of structural configuration can improve performance remains unsolved. We argue that to keep TMT effective, three features are important: TMT heterogeneity,power differential, and rapport. Our empirical analysis based on China ’s publicly listed companies provides consistent evidence supporting our arguments. The results show that Chairman-CEO demographic heterogeneity, power differential, and rapport reflected by tenure overlap are all positively associated with organizational performance. Our study thus provides a relatively comprehensive model of effective TMT structure and process, which extends and enriches upper echelons perspective. Our study also has practical implications.更多还原
