This is not only a serious theoretical neglect by guanxi researchers but also a practical one as it allows the problem to perpetuate even as the Chinese economy and Chinese business organizations are striving to break through global protectionism and geopolitical polarization. Based on critical analyses of existing literatures on Chinese guanxi and Western demographic diversity, and building on inclusion and inclusive leadership theories, we develop a multidimensional concept of guanxi inclusive leadership and propose a comprehensive theoretical model. We define guanxi inclusive leadership as a leader’s discretionary actions to promote the inclusion of all employees regardless of their guanxi relations with the leader for their full participation in organizational life. We further propose that leaders’ individual justice orientation and system justification belief affect guanxi inclusive leadership. Guanxi inclusive leadership, in turn, promotes employee organizational citizenship behavior (OCB-O) and innovation through the mediation of organizational trust. Organizational growth strategy and labor market competition moderate the mediation relationships. Through this theoretical work, we seek to stimulate future theory and research on how business leaders can proactively expand workplace diversity and inclusion to enhance their competitive and innovative status domestically and globally.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8474,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Journal of Management","volume":"43 2","pages":"1017 - 1043"},"PeriodicalIF":9.7,"publicationDate":"2025-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148752198","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on conservation of resources theory, we hypothesize that homesickness enhances creativity through performing OLC. We further propose that expatriates with high TSE are more likely to use OLC to mitigate homesickness and increase work creativity. Data were collected in three waves from 485 Taiwanese expatriates via self-reported measures of homesickness and TSE (Time 1), OLC (Time 2), and manager-rated creativity (Time 3). We find that homesickness positively impacts OLC and subsequent creativity at work. In other words, expatriates who actively engage in OLC can turn homesickness into a source of creative energy in the work domain, with TSE amplifying this positive indirect effect. This study contributes to the literature on expatriate adjustment by offering a nuanced view of homesickness as a potential resource for creativity and highlighting the critical role of digital engagement in cross-domain resource recovery.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8474,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Journal of Management","volume":"43 2","pages":"1249 - 1274"},"PeriodicalIF":9.7,"publicationDate":"2025-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10490-025-10049-x.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148752129","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As illustrated in empirical results, first, executive equity incentive casts an inverted U-shape impact on enterprise digital transformation: with an increase in executive shareholding proportions, a nonlinear variation trend takes shape in which declination follows the rising effects of executive equity incentive upon the intention of enterprise digital transformation; second, long-term executive steering plays a mediating role: executive equity incentive positively affects long-term executive steering, and in turn, a nonlinear impact on the intention of enterprise digital transformation emerges; finally, performance expectation gap and market competition intensity play moderating roles between executive equity incentive and enterprise digital transformation. In other words, both the performance expectation gap and market competition intensity reinforce the inverted U-shape relationship between executive equity incentive and enterprise digital transformation. As benefits from the research conclusion of this paper, academic research in related fields to executive equity incentive and enterprise digital transformation is enriched, and the empirical evidence is provided for advancement in current enterprise digital transformation.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8474,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Journal of Management","volume":"43 2","pages":"897 - 932"},"PeriodicalIF":9.7,"publicationDate":"2025-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148752050","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Furthermore, this research identifies how the equity incentive disparity between executives and core employees influences the effect of RSIs on corporate innovation. We collected data from 565 non-financial Chinese listed companies, all of which exclusively adopted RSIs. Data analysis utilized propensity score matching (PSM) and difference-in-differences (DiD) approaches. The results support our theoretical framework. The results are robust to PSM approach, instrumental variable test, model specification, and industry effects. Further analyses reveal that the positive impact of RSIs on corporate innovation is more significant in high-tech firms and non-state-owned enterprises. Internal monitoring (human resource management regulations) exhibits a U-shaped moderating effect, while strengthened external monitoring (analyst coverage) further enhances the innovation-promoting effect of RSIs.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8474,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Journal of Management","volume":"43 2","pages":"989 - 1016"},"PeriodicalIF":9.7,"publicationDate":"2025-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148751252","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To bridge this gap, this research examines niche champions amid an environmental jolt.

I argue that these two antecedents diverge in their effects on the two performance dimensions during periods of environmental distress: they enable a niche champion to outperform its peers (the cross-sectional dimension) but also cause a steeper decline in its own performance over time (the longitudinal dimension). Evidence from a sample of Chinese niche champions during the COVID-19 pandemic strongly supports my framework. The findings reveal the sources of resilience in niche champions, highlight their vulnerabilities to environmental disruptions, and underscore the trade-offs involved in managing slack and corporate scope.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8474,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Journal of Management","volume":"43 2","pages":"785 - 811"},"PeriodicalIF":9.7,"publicationDate":"2025-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148750600","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
