Abstract
Through the lenses of social cognitive theory and information processing theory perspectives, this paper investigates how managers’ cognitive personality traits and international learning experience interact with their global mindset development and perceived psychic distance influencing headquarters-subsidiary (HQ-Sub) relationship quality. Data were collected from both the headquarters and the respective subsidiaries of 302 Chinese multinational enterprises (MNEs). Our findings suggest that managers’ psychic distance and global mindset have positive effects on HQ-Sub relationship quality, and that the positive relationship between managers’ global mindset and relationship quality is stronger when the managers have more overseas study experience and weaker when the managers demonstrate a non-flexible personality.
