Stay or Leave: Director Identities and Voluntary Exit from the Board During Organizational Crisis
研究组织危机期间董事的自愿退出行为,结合身份理论分析董事的个人、关系和集体身份如何共同或对立地影响其留下或离开董事会的决策。
Directors may play their most important role during organizational crisis; however, extant research suggests that they are often more willing to exit than remain on the board of a firm facing a crisis. We develop theory regarding directors' voluntary exit by integrating insights from identity theories with the organizational crises literature. Specifically, we model how directors' individual, relational, and collective identities work sometimes in concert and other times in opposition to each other to influence directors' voluntary decisions to remain on or exit from a board facing an organizational crisis.
