Abstract
In this study, we integrate work-family enrichment theory and upper echelons theory to examine how and when chief executive officers’ (CEOs’) original family has impacts on their firm performance. We argue that CEO original family harmony has an indirect effect on firm product innovation performance through CEO family supportive supervisor behaviors (FSSB) and top management team (TMT) behavioral integration, which operate in sequence. Additionally, we propose that CEO founder status strengthens the effects of CEO original family harmony. Results of data from 125 CEOs and 568 TMT members in various high-technology industries in China indicated that the positive relationship between CEO original family harmony and firm product innovation performance is serially mediated by CEO FSSB and TMT behavioral integration. Moreover, CEO founder status exacerbates the direct effect of CEO original family harmony on CEO FSSB and its indirect effect on firm product innovation performance. The findings provide insightful theoretical contributions, practical implications, and new research directions for understanding CEO family-work spillover and CEO-TMT interface.
