Predicting organizational identification at the CEO level
研究CEO组织认同的前因，探讨CEO职位的特殊情境如何通过满足成员的认同动机来影响其组织认同，对理解高管心理与公司治理有参考价值。
To develop further insight into antecedents of the CEO 's psychological orientation toward the firm, we investigate what might lead CEOs to identify with their firms. Although research suggests that CEO organizational identification can be quite consequential for the firm, little research attention has been paid to its determinants. To predict how the special context of the CEO position might lead to identification, we consider a set of motives that members have for identifying with their organizations and consider how unique features of the CEO position might be relevant to those motives. Our theory and supportive findings help explain how the context of the CEO position, including variables often conceptualized as control mechanisms in agency theory research, can have important effects on subsequent CEO organizational identification .
