According to role congruity theory and expectancy violation theory, narcissism, a typical agentic characteristic, may exert a greater influence on the performance of female entrepreneurs than it does on their male counterparts since it is considered a gender-incongruent characteristic of women. This study examines the relationship between female entrepreneurs’ narcissism and new venture performance while also evaluating the contingent roles of gender discrimination and political connections in this relationship. Using a sample of 537 technology-based female entrepreneurs in China, we find that female entrepreneurs’ narcissism has an inverted U-shaped relationship with new venture performance, and we determine that this relationship is steeper for female entrepreneurs with strong political connections and low gender discrimination. Our findings contribute to the entrepreneurship literature by revealing the nonlinear relationship between entrepreneurs’ narcissism and new venture performance. Moreover, our results provide fine-grained insight into the contingent mechanisms of female gender discrimination and political connections, and how each one’s interaction with entrepreneurs’ narcissism can have profound effects on new venture performance.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8474,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Journal of Management","volume":"42 1","pages":"295 - 331"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2023-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135823230","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 a sample of 797 outward M&As in the high-tech industry initiated by Chinese firms from 1991 to 2018, we found that the likelihood of completing an acquisition increases when the knowledge distance between China and the host country decreases and in the presence of a high attractiveness of the Chinese high-tech industry involved. In addition, we found that government involvement in the acquiring firms has different influences from that in the target ones on the likelihood of acquisition completion. Specifically, we only found that the likelihood of acquisition completion decreases in the presence of government involvement in the target firm. The influence of government involvement in the acquiring firms on acquisition completion was not significant. The implications of this study of high-tech M&As enacted by firms from emerging markets are thus discussed.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8474,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Journal of Management","volume":"42 1","pages":"427 - 454"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10490-023-09923-3.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136279198","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}

Specifically, we argue that a firm's CSR practices do not necessarily translate into the leader's ethical decisions, and on the contrary, it may lead to the opposite. The relationship between a firm's CSR practices and its leader's unethical decisions is mediated by the leader's moral cognitive process (moral licensing and moral imagination) toward the firm's CSR practices, and this relationship is further moderated by the leader's altruistic values.
