He/she has to quickly customize to the local needs his/her styles of strategic and operational decision-making, communication, and interpersonal approaches. His/her repertoire of leadership styles, arts, and skills has to be wider and richer in variety. He/she must quickly move from one host-country-focused approach to another, drawing the needed blend of leadership styles, arts, and skills from his/her repertoire and effectively applying them to the host country situation. Thus, a CEO must analyze his/her situation and re-orient his/her approach to fit the varying international situations, such as culture, operating, and subsidiary's organizational, economic, political, governmental, and technological. An effective CEO is perspicuous and quick of action in adjusting and modifying his/her roles, styles, arts, and leadership processes to fit the situation in which he/she is in at the moment.展开更多

It examines specifically the role of executives' emotional intelligence (El) level and their emotional biases, namely optimism in explaining compensation plans. An empirical study was conducted in this respect, by using a questionnaire as a method of data collection, on a sample of 100 Tunisian companies' leaders. This research paper translates an original approach, since it highlights the behavioral aspects role in explaining the CEO's compensation policy level. To the best of the knowledge, this represents the first study in the Tunisian context that explored this area of research. Actually, the results show that Tunisian leaders may be subject to certain emotions thereby impacting their compensation characteristics. Indeed, they opt at first to contribute to the organizational performance by establishing a mutual trust within the organizational structure in order to achieve the objectives already set up. However, this could be done at the expense of their compensation plans展开更多

We use data from listed companies in China over the period 2007-2016 to show that powerful chief executive officers (CEOs) simultaneously incur self-interested agency costs while acting as stewards to benefit the firm. In balancing the push-and-pull forces of stewardship and agency behaviors, powerful CEOs in Chinese firms ultimately improve short-term and long-term firm performance. Our results have important implications for understanding how CEOs affect firms and how cultural factors can motivate CEOs to work in the interest of the firm.展开更多
