Executive Job Demands: New Insights for Explaining Strategic Decisions and Leader Behaviors
提出高管工作难度这一概念,分析其决定因素及对战略选择和领导行为的影响,为代理理论、高管薪酬和高层梯队研究提供新视角。
Executive jobs vary widely in the difficulty they pose for their incumbents, yet research on top executives and strategic decision making has largely ignored this reality. We build on work in industrial/organizational psychology to develop the construct of executive job demands; discuss its major determinants; propose some of its key implications for strategic choices and leadership behaviors; and propose the usefulness of this construct in advancing research on numerous fronts, including agency theory, executive compensation, and upper echelons.
