THE GENESIS OF TOP MANAGEMENT TEAM DIVERSITY: SELECTIVE TURNOVER AMONG TOP MANAGEMENT TEAMS IN DUTCH NEWSPAPER PUBLISHING, 1970-94.
研究高层管理团队多样性如何受团队权力、组织绩效、企业多元化和市场竞争影响,发现环境复杂性和压力增加时团队反而趋于同质化。
We propose that executive team power strengthens a cycle of "homosocial reproduction" that is interrupted only when teams face such compelling needs for diversity as poor organizational performance, high corporate diversification, and tough market competition. Hypothesis tests in data from major Dutch newspaper publishers over 25 years did not support many of our benchmark expectations. Apparently, top management teams tend to close ranks when environmental complexity and pressure increase. Explanations and new research avenues are discussed.
