1. CEO political ideologies and pay egalitarianism within top management teams.

Author

Subjects
EXECUTIVE compensation, VALUES (Ethics), COMPENSATION committees (Executive compensation), EXECUTIVES' attitudes, WAGE differentials, ATTITUDE (Psychology)
Abstract

Research summary: We examine the influence of CEO and compensation committee liberalism on top management teams (TMT) pay arrangements. Given that politically liberal individuals tend to value egalitarianism, we test whether firms with liberal CEOs tend to (1) reduce pay dispersion among non- CEO executives; and (2) reduce pay gaps between CEO and non- CEO executives, and whether compensation committee liberalism moderates these relationships. We find some evidence of a direct effect of CEO liberalism on TMT pay arrangements as well as some interaction between CEO and compensation committee liberalism on the pay arrangements. This study provides a better understanding of the antecedents of TMT pay arrangements and empirical evidence showing the influence of values at the top of organization. Managerial summary: Do the values of the CEO and compensation committee influence the pay of other top managers? Our study provides evidence that political ideology affects top manager pay. We examine whether CEO liberalism produces more egalitarian pay arrangements among top managers, and whether the liberalism of the compensation committee affects that relationship. We find that CEO liberalism reduces differences in the total pay among top managers, but does not influence the difference between CEO total pay and the total pay of top managers. We also find that compensation committee liberalism strengthens the negative influence of CEO liberalism on differences in total pay among top managers. Finally, we find that CEO liberalism reduces the difference between CEO bonus pay and the bonus pay of other top managers. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

4. Narcissistic Chief Executive Officers: Implications for Mechanisms of Internal Corporate Governance.

Author

Krenn, Mario

Subjects
CHIEF executive officers, EXECUTIVES' attitudes, NARCISSISM, CORPORATE governance, RESEARCH, INDUSTRIAL management research, ATTITUDE (Psychology)
Abstract

This article argues that the conceptualization of direct relationships between internal corporate governance mechanisms and firm performance in corporate governance research falls short in integrating individual differences between Cos' personality dispositions. Narcissism is a personality trait that is observed in many corporate leaders and that is proposed to function as a moderator between monitoring and control mechanisms and firm performance. This paper shows that the integration of the social psychological construct narcissism into research in internal corporate governance challenges assumptions of rational economic agency theory and alters some of the field's basic conclusions regarding monitoring and incentive alignment mechanisms.

Author

Dargie, Charlotte

Subjects
CHIEF executive officers, CROSS-cultural differences, RATING of executives, ATTITUDE (Psychology), CROSS-cultural studies, EXECUTIVES' attitudes, DECISION making, ORGANIZATIONAL sociology
Abstract

This article is an exploration of the role of the chief executive and its relation to the political and environmental context. It draws on case studies of chief executives from the public, private and voluntary sectors, which looked at what chief executives do and how their role relates to the context in which they work. The author uses a comparative theoretical framework, which includes position, organization, environment and decision-making to highlight cross-sectoral differences. Comparative concepts are used to explain difference and variability in the chief executives' work. The article develops propositions about the nature of chief executives' work that could be tested in further studies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
