CEO WILLINGNESS TO DELEGATE TO THE TOP MANAGEMENT TEAM THE INFLUENCE OF ORGANIZATIONAL PERFORMANCE

CEO WILLINGNESS TO DELEGATE TO THE TOP MANAGEMENT TEAM THE INFLUENCE OF ORGANIZATIONAL PERFORMANCE Despite its strategic importance, researchers have given little attention to when CEOs are willing to delegate decisions to top management team members. Prior studies and conventional wisdom suggest that CEOs will be more willing to delegate in times of good performance. Drawing from prospect theory, we suggest an alternative view that CEOs will be riskaverse and, therefore, less willing to delegate when their firms have performed well. Our findings provide support for both perspectives. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png The International Journal of Organizational Analysis Emerald Publishing

Abstract

Despite its strategic importance, researchers have given little attention to when CEOs are willing to delegate decisions to top management team members. Prior studies and conventional wisdom suggest that CEOs will be more willing to delegate in times of good performance. Drawing from prospect theory, we suggest an alternative view that CEOs will be riskaverse and, therefore, less willing to delegate when their firms have performed well. Our findings provide support for both perspectives.
