Abstract

Purpose This study, leveraging the upper echelon and social network theories, aims to explore the association between chief executive officers (CEO’s) polychronicity and small and medium size enterprises (SMEs’) international performance under the complete mediation effect of social networks. The paper explores this relationship under the moderation effect of CEO perceived time pressure and synchrony preference. Design/methodology/approach The paper investigates a moderated mediating relationship based on a sample of 186 UK firms. Findings The findings of this study suggest that social network fully mediates the CEO polychronicity and firm international performance relationship. Furthermore, CEO perceived time pressure moderates the social network and SME international performance relationship such that it reduces the positive indirect association between CEO polychronicity and SME international performance. CEO synchrony preference, on the contrary, enhances the positive indirect association between CEO polychronicity and SME performance. Originality/value Extant research suggests SMEs having a more robust set of organizational capabilities helps them network and avail foreign market knowledge. However, research exploring antecedents of this organizational capability is scant.

CEO多时代性与中小企业国际化

目的本研究运用上层理论和社会网络理论，探讨在社会网络的完全中介作用下，CEO多时代性与中小企业国际绩效之间的关系。本文在CEO感知时间压力和同步性偏好的调节作用下，探讨了这一关系。设计/方法/方法本文基于186家英国公司的样本调查了一种有调节的中介关系。研究结果表明，社交网络在CEO多时性和企业国际绩效关系中起完全中介作用。此外，CEO感知时间压力调节了社会网络与中小企业国际化绩效之间的关系，从而降低了CEO多时性与中小企业国际化绩效之间的间接正相关关系。而CEO同步性偏好则增强了CEO多步性与中小企业绩效之间的间接正相关关系。原创性/价值现存的研究表明，拥有更强大的组织能力的中小企业有助于他们建立网络并利用外国市场知识。然而，探索这种组织能力的前因的研究很少。

期刊介绍： Multinational Business Review publishes high quality and innovative peer-review research on the strategy, organization and performance of multinational enterprise (MNE), international business history, geography of international business, and the impact of international business on economic growth and development. The journal encourages papers that are cross-disciplinary in nature, and that address new and important issues in international business. Multinational Business Review also promotes research on under-represented regions such as Africa, Central and Eastern Europe, Latin America, and South East Asia and their MNEs, as well as under-studied topics such as the role of trade, investment and other public policies. Specific topics of interest include innovation and entrepreneurship in an international context; corporate governance and ownership; social, environmental and political risk; the role of multilateral institutions; and the nature of emerging market multinationals. The title seeks strong conceptual studies, contributing to the advancement of theories and frameworks, and sound empirical work, whether qualitative or quantitative, suggesting managerial, economic or government policy recommendations. The journal encourages replication studies that contribute to our understanding of the reliability and validity of current knowledge. Finally, Multinational Business Review welcomes proposals for perspectives pieces that offer critical and challenging viewpoints; surveys of the literature particularly those that use new and innovative bibliometric methods; and special issues on topics of relevance to Multinational Business Review.
