However, existing studies tend to examine the two interrelated variables separately, which may result in potential biases when estimating their effects and miss important implications of their interaction. Drawing on the relevant literature, we articulate the relationship between leadership and HRM and offer conceptual and empirical insights into the opportunities for integrating the two streams of research. We also highlight the importance of contexts when studying leadership and HRM and present an overview of the twelve papers in this special issue that focus on leadership and HRM issues in China. Finally, we propose an agenda for future research to further integrate leadership and HRM.","PeriodicalId":47156,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Business Review","volume":"27 1","pages":"1 - 10"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2022-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87977319","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using this outstanding case, the underlying drivers for foreign IPO success were explored. Four propositions are elaborated on: (1) companies choose the capital market with the institutional environment accommodating their internal characteristics, thereby taking advantage of the institutional differences between home and host countries to facilitate their development strategy; and (2) companies’ IPO success is largely driven by the industry growth potential, fundamentals, and strategic alliances.","PeriodicalId":47156,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Business Review","volume":"40 1","pages":"299 - 322"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2022-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87157590","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As the helmsman of an organization, the impact of leaders’ personal mentality on organizational resilience cannot be ignored. Based on the survey data from 163 enterprises in the Yangtze River Delta region of China, this paper constructs and tests the relationship between leadership mindsets and organizational resilience. The results show that there is a positive correlation between leadership mindsets and organizational resilience. Cultural norms play a mediating role; innovative cultural norms play a mediating role between leaders’ growth mindset and organizational resilience, and collaborative cultural norms play a mediating role between leaders’ specified mindset and organizational resilience. In addition, supportive human resource practice plays a moderating role in the relationship between leadership mindsets and cultural norms. The research extends the research of leadership mindsets to the improvement of organizational resilience, and enhances the understanding and application of cultural norms and supportive human resources practices, providing scientific suggestions for the sustainable development of organizations.","PeriodicalId":47156,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Business Review","volume":"26 1","pages":"248 - 265"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2022-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80640595","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, few studies have organically integrated their influences on organizational outcomes. Drawing on social information process theory, this study proposed a variety of relationships between high performance work system (HPWS) and CEO relationship-focused leadership behaviours on organizational outcomes including firm performance, organizational-level affective commitment and employee overall turnover rate (e.g. strengthening effect, weakening effect, and substitution effect). Based on a matched data from vice presidents, human resource managers and employees in 182 Chinese firms, this study found the above three relationships between HPWS and CEO relationship-focused leadership behaviours on organizational outcomes. Specifically, when HPWS and CEO relationship-focused leadership behaviours were both high, firm performance and organizational-level affective commitment were higher, and employee overall turnover rate was lower; the effects of HPWS on organizational outcomes would not be significant when CEO relationship-focused leadership behaviours was low; when HPWS was low but CEO relationship-focused leadership behaviours was high, employee overall turnover rate was highest. This study contributed to the understanding of the relationship between ‘system’ and ‘renqing’ in the context of Chinese enterprises, integrated the research on strategic leadership and strategic human resource management, and had important inferences for management practice.","PeriodicalId":47156,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Business Review","volume":"113 1","pages":"136 - 161"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2022-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78533941","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
