摘 要: 公司企业家精神越来越多地被认为是企业在动荡不确定环境下取得竞争优势的重要因素。虽然很多学者认为高管团队对公司企业家精神有重要影响,但很少有实证研究针对高管团队哪些具体特征及这些特征如何影响公司企业家精神给出结果,在转型经济中类似研究更是缺乏。本文基于Hambrick高管团队五要素的框架,以长三角七个国家级高新技术开发区220家民营中小高科技企业为被试对象,对高管团队各要素以及要素组合对公司企业家精神的作用机制进行实证研究。结果表明,高管团队首席执行官变革型领导行为、高管团队冒险倾向、行为整合、长期激励报酬以及责任分散都对公司企业家精神有显著的促进作用;而且高管团队长期激励报酬还与冒险倾向和行为整合有交互作用。 Corporate entrepreneurship has more and more been regarded as an important contributor to firm survival and performance in today’s uncertain environment.A growing body of literature is evolving to examine the factors that facilitate corporate entrepreneurship.Few studies are found which analyze corporate entrepreneurship from the top management team perspective.Not to mention such kind of research in transition economies.Drawing upon Hambrick’s(1994) framework,this article makes use of a sam-ple of 220 private Small-and-Medium Size High-tech firms from seven national technology development zones in Yangzi River Delta and investigates whether and how the elements of a top management team,namely CEO(transformational leadership style),composition(TMT risk taking propensity),process(TMT behavioral integra-tion),incentive(TMT long-term compensation),and structure(TMT decentralization of responsibilities),impact on corporate entrepre-neurship.The results show that all five elements of the top manage-ment team play critical roles on facilitating corporate entrepreneur-ship and TMT long-term compensation interacts with risk-taking propensity and behavioral integration on corporate entrepreneur-ship.By examining the influences of TMTs that are related to cor-porate entrepreneurship,theoretically,this study aims to enrich on both corporate entrepreneurship and upper-echelons theory.On the one hand,by examining corporate entrepreneurship from the TMT perspective rather than the more common perspectives of environ-ment and individual,this study enriches the corporate entrepreneur-ship literature;on the other hand,this study extends the literature on upper-echelons theory by developing a more systematic model of the TMT elements included in Hambrick’s(1994) framework,which have been discussed separately in extant literature.Further,unlike many current upper-echelons studies which rely on demographic information,this study directly measured TMT’s perceptions and behaviors through a multiple-
