We examine how and when chief executive officer (CEO) abusive leadership can undermine organizational innovation and performance by diminishing top management team (TMT) behavioral integration. Based on upper echelons theory and the related interface perspective, we analyzed cross-sectional survey data from CEOs and TMTs of 308 small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Study 1 and multi-wave multisource survey data from CEOs and TMTs of 287 SMEs in Study 2. The empirical results support our theory. In addition, these effects are moderated by philanthropic corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiated by CEOs, such that CEO abusive leadership has a more substantial negative indirect impact on organizational innovation and performance when the level of philanthropic CSR is elevated. This moderation is attributed to TMT members’ amplified negative perceptions of receiving inconsistent treatment, whereby the CEO treats external stakeholders favorably and internal executives poorly. The combined effects of CEO abusive leadership and philanthropic CSR on organizational innovation and performance add to the literature on abusive leadership, strategic leadership interfaces, and upper echelons theory.

滥用权力的首席执行官与慈善企业社会责任对组织创新和绩效的互动影响

我们研究了首席执行官 (CEO) 滥用领导力如何以及何时通过削弱高层管理团队 (TMT) 行为整合来破坏组织创新和绩效。基于上层梯队理论和相关界面视角，我们分析了研究一中308家中小企业CEO和TMT的横截面调查数据以及287家中小企业CEO和TMT的多波多源调查数据。研究 2 中的实证结果支持了我们的理论。此外，这些影响还受到CEO发起的慈善企业社会责任（CSR）的调节，因此，当慈善CSR水平提高时，CEO滥用领导力会对组织创新和绩效产生更显着的负面间接影响。这种温和性归因于 TMT 成员对接受不一致待遇的负面看法被放大，即首席执行官善待外部利益相关者，而对待内部高管则较差。 CEO 虐待性领导和慈善企业社会责任对组织创新和绩效的综合影响丰富了关于虐待性领导、战略领导界面和高层理论的文献。
