A Study of the Nonlinear Influence Mechanism Between CEO Humility and Firm Performance
Based on upper echelon theory and social information processing theory,this study ex-plores the nonlinear relationships,mechanism,and boundary conditions between CEO humility and firm performance using multi-source and multi-time survey data from 138 companies.Results indicated that there was an inverted U-shaped relationship between CEO humility and firm performance.For-giveness climate mediated the inverted U-shaped curve relationship between CEO humility and firm performance.High performance expectations had a significant negative moderating effect on the U-shaped relationship between CEO humility and firm performance,as well as between forgiveness cli-mate and firm performance.Specifically,the two U-shaped relationships were more significant,when the high-performance expectations were lower.
