Abstract

Abstract:

Based on the perspective of contingency, this paper discloses the influence of interaction of top managers' competency and corporate culture on enterprise performance. The study finds that:firstly, clan culture, hierarchical culture, market culture and flexible culture exist exactly in Chinese enterprises and have a positive influence on the enterprise performance. Secondly, Results show that top managers' competency moderates the relationship between corporate culture and enterprise performance. Specifically, relationships between clan culture and enterprise performance (financial performance and human resource performance), market culture and human resource performance of enterprises are stronger when organizational influence dimension is high rather than low; relationships between hierarchical culture and financial performance of enterprises, market culture and financial performance of enterprises, flexible culture and human resource performance of enterprises are stronger when achievement dimension is high rather than low; character dimension has no significant moderating effect on the relationships between four kinds of corporate culture and financial performance and human resource performance of enterprises. Based on the above findings, this paper analyzes and discusses the above issues and provides enlightenment of management practice, which provides theoretical basis and empirical support for training and developing top managers whose competency fits corporate culture.
