现实中不少知名企业在遭遇危机时会聘任女性高管,出人意料的是相当数量的企业由此成功实现了反转,这一事实背后的逻辑引人深思。作为组织能力、战略选择与组织绩效间关系机理的底层逻辑,管理者认知是决定危机企业反转的重要因素。那么,女性高管是否在管理者认知方面具有独特性并在危机企业反转过程中起正向作用呢?本文选用沪深两市A股非金融类上市公司2005—2011年的数据,基于高阶梯队理论与管理者认知视角,构建了女性高管、专业能力与政治关联对危机企业反转的解释框架。在本研究的观测样本范围内,实证检验结果表明:(1)女性高管对危机企业反转呈现显著正向影响作用,高管中女性比例越高越有利于反转;且在排除行业特殊性和企业生命周期等因素的影响后,上述结论依旧成立。(2)专业能力、政治关联对女性高管与企业反转之间的关系起正向调节作用。本文反对附和“女性主义”来做“预设观点、政治正确”式研究,而是在高阶梯队理论和性别差异研究的进展之上,考虑“玻璃天花板”和“玻璃悬崖”效应,从管理者认知视角研究女性高管与危机企业反转的关系,为“雷曼姐妹假说”的验证做出了贡献,研究结论也为女性高管职位合法性提供了证据,对于企业通过高管团队建设稳定经营业绩具有启示意义。
