Gender Faultline Strength on Boards of Directors and Strategic Change: The Role of Environmental Conditions
基于断层线和高层梯队理论，研究发现董事会性别断层强度与战略变革负相关，但在高环境复杂性、动态性和丰裕性下转为正相关，基于1171家中国企业的面板数据验证。
Drawing on the notion of “faultlines” and the upper echelons perspective, we argue that the gender faultline strength of a board of directors is negatively related to strategic change. More interestingly, while gender faultline strength negatively relates to strategic change under low levels of environmental complexity, environmental dynamism, and environmental munificence, it is positively related to strategic change when environmental complexity, environmental dynamism, and environmental munificence are at high levels. The analyses of panel data of 5781 firm-year observations of 1171 Chinese firms provide support for the hypotheses.
