自從Hambrick 與 Mason在1984年提出「高層理論」之後,高階經營團隊議題就一直被學術界廣為探討。高階經營團隊是組織的靈魂,其所制定的決策均主導組織未來的方向。再者,高階經營團隊的特性,亦影響組織的學習能力、對於創業活動的態度、以及對於核心能力的重視,進而創造良好的績效。因此,本研究欲建立一整合性的模式,探討高階經營團隊之特性、核心能力、創業導向、吸收能力、與經營績效之關係。
透過一系列之專家訪談及郵寄問卷調查,本研究之實證結果發現,高階經營團隊專業背景與教育背景對於吸收能力,創業導向對於公司取得核心能力有顯著之影響。吸收能力與創業導向是提升公司核心能力之重要因素。同時,當組織愈呈現創業導向,且愈具有吸收能力與核心能力時,愈能夠創造良好的經營績效。
Ever since Hambrick and Mason proposed upper echelon theory in 1984, top management team (TMT) issues have been received tremendous attentions from academician and practitioners. Especially in the dynamic, fast-moving, and global world, the importance of TMT has become inevitably important nowadays. TMT is the soul of organization in that they make strategic decisions which effect firm’s future. Furthermore, splendid performance stems from the firm’s learning ability, the attitude toward entrepreneurial activities, and the emphasis of core competence, all of these issues which are affected by TMT characteristics. Hence, this study at-tempts to integrate relevant literature to develop a comprehensive research model, as well as to investigate the interrelationships among TMT characteristics, absorptive capacity, core competence, entrepreneurial orientation, managerial performance.
Through a series of questionnaire survey, the results of this study indicate that TMT functional background diversity and educational background level have sig-nificant influences on a firm’s absorptive capacity, entrepreneurial orientation and core competence have significant impacts on its core competence. Furthermore, a firm’s absorptive capacity and entrepreneurial orientation. Finally, the results also suggested that firms characterized by higher entrepreneurial orientation, absorptive capacity and core competence are more likely to gain excellent managerial per-formance
