Abstract:
Using regulatory focus, the Chief Executive Officer-Top Management Team (CEO-TMT) interface, and upper echelons theories, the present study casts additional light on the competitive action frequency of firms. Applying regulatory focus and upper echelons theories, this study first hypothesizes how CEO regulatory focus influences competitive action frequencyю This research suggests moderating effects on the part of CEO–TMT dissimilarity. Drawing on a sample of 218 firms for a 5-year period, we find that a CEO promotion focus enhances a firm’s competitive action frequency and that a prevention focus diminishes the same. This research concludes with a discussion of the article’s theoretical and practical implications.
Keywords:
