公司创业是组织获得竞争优势、实现可持续发展的重要途径。然而，很少有研究关注CEO战略领导对公司创业的影响。本研究以社会认同理论和不确定性认同理论为基础，考察CEO关系导向型领导是否通过中层管理者的组织认同对公司创业产生影响，以及环境不确定性是否对这种间接影响产生调节作用。设计/方法/途径使用192个中国样本，192个企业级和716个部门级的观察，本研究使用Mplus 8.0的多层次结构方程模型来检验理论模型。结果-本研究发现，CEO关系为中心的领导积极预测的组织识别和公司创业，和企业家的组织识别之间的关系进行调解CEO关系为中心的领导和公司创业。此外，环境不确定性不仅调节了CEO关系导向型领导与企业家组织认同之间的关系，而且调节了CEO关系导向型领导通过企业家组织认同对企业家精神的间接影响。研究限制/影响-这项研究丰富了理解的过程和情境化的CEO战略领导影响公司创业。独创性/价值-据作者所知，这项研究是第一次探讨CEO关系为重点的领导对企业家精神的影响。
Purpose Corporate entrepreneurship is an important way for organizations to gain competitive advantages and achieve sustainable development. However, few studies pay attention to the influence of CEO strategic leadership on corporate entrepreneurship. Drawing on social identity theory and uncertainty-identity theory, this study aims to investigate whether CEO relationship-focused leadership impacts corporate entrepreneurship through middle managers’ (MMs’) organizational identification and whether the indirect effect is moderated by environmental uncertainty. Design/methodology/approach Using 192 Chinese samples with 192 firm-level and 716 department-level observations, this study uses multilevel structural equations modeling by Mplus 8.0 to test the theoretical model. Findings This study finds that CEO relationship-focused leadership positively predicts MMs’ organizational identification and corporate entrepreneurship, and MMs’ organizational identification mediates the relationship between CEO relationship-focused leadership and corporate entrepreneurship. In addition, environmental uncertainty moderates not only the relationship between CEO relationship-focused leadership and MMs’ organizational identification but also the indirect effect of CEO relationship-focused leadership on corporate entrepreneurship through MMs’ organizational identification. Research limitations/implications This study enriches the understanding of process and contextualization of CEO strategic leadership influencing on corporate entrepreneurship. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is among the first to explore the influence of CEO relationship-focused leadership on corporate entrepreneurship.
