摘要

本研究旨在探讨董事会中的信息断层如何影响董事对知识的管理以及对组织绩效的影响。在本研究中,信息断层线被定义为根据董事会成员之间若干信息属性的一致性将一个群体划分为相对同质的子群体的假设线。本研究使用了独特的手工收集的面板数据,涵盖 106 家上市公司的 7247 名董事会成员,为假设的 U 型关系提供了有力支持。研究结果研究发现,董事会中的信息断层与组织绩效之间的关系呈 "U "型,当董事会具有中等程度的信息断层时,组织绩效最差。更具体地说,董事会内的信息断层与组织绩效在弱到中等的信息断层范围内呈负相关,而与组织绩效在中等到强的信息断层范围内呈正相关。研究局限/意义通过解释信息断层与组织绩效的相关机制,作者以多种方式为文献做出了贡献。通过概念化知识管理如何在公司董事会这一特定环境中发挥重要作用,作者不仅为知识管理方面的文献添砖加瓦,也为断层和公司治理方面的文献添砖加瓦。原创性/价值本研究为解释董事会内部的信息断层对组织绩效的影响提供了另一种理论基础,从而为之前喜忧参半的研究结果提供了理论依据。为了推动这一领域的发展,作者以知识可证实性这一概念为基础,阐明了信息断层如何影响董事会内部的知识管理,进而影响组织绩效。

Knowledge management in boards of directors: effects of informational faultlines

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to examine how informational faultlines on a board affect the management of knowledge owned by directors and the consequences on organizational performance. In this study, informational faultlines are defined as hypothetical lines that divide a group into relatively homogeneous subgroups based on the alignment of several informational attributes among board members.

Design/methodology/approach

The study uses unique hand-collected panel data covering 7,247 board members at 106 publicly traded firms to provide strong support for the hypothesized U-shaped relationship. The authors use a fixed effects approach and a system generalized method of moments approach to test the hypothesis.

Findings

The study finds that the relationship between informational faultlines on a board and organizational performance is U shaped, with the least optimal organizational performance experienced when boards have moderate informational faultlines. More specifically, informational faultlines within boards are negatively related to organizational performance across the weak-to-moderate range of informational faultlines and positively related to organizational performance across the moderate-to-strong range.

Research limitations/implications

By explaining the mechanisms through which informational faultlines are related to organizational performance, the authors contribute to the literature in a number of ways. By conceptualizing how the management of knowledge plays an important role in the particular setting of corporate boards, the authors add not only to literature on knowledge management but also to the faultline and corporate governance literature.

Originality/value

This study offers a rationale for prior mixed findings by providing an alternative theoretical basis to explain the effect of informational faultlines within boards on organizational performance. To advance the field, the authors build on the concept of knowledge demonstrability to illuminate how informational faultlines affect the management of knowledge within boards, which will translate to organizational performance.
