分布式领导在新兴市场跨国公司跨国并购中人力资源实践与组织双元性关系中的偶发作用

摘要本文研究了跨国并购中人力资源实践对组织双元性的影响。以往的研究表明，人力资源实践在提高组织绩效方面发挥着重要作用，但可能存在与人力资源实践相互作用的偶然性因素，从而导致不同的绩效结果。我们将重点放在这样一个潜在的偶然性因素上:分布式领导作为一个关键的调节因素，与人力资源实践相互作用，导致跨国并购中的组织两重性。我们研究了84宗新兴经济体的跨境并购交易。我们发现，人力资源实践对被收购企业的二元性有正向影响，但当我们考虑到分布式领导的偶发作用时，人力资源实践的影响就会变得更强，这表明分布式领导作为一个关键变量的重要性，可以解释企业的二元性。
