As the maker and implementer of enterprise strategy, the importance of top management team to M&A performance is self-evident. Previous studies have been controversial about the role of top team heterogeneity in corporate M&A. This study investigates the relationship between work-related heterogeneity of top management teams and M&A performance based on the use of work relatedness to differentiate top management team heterogeneity. The empirical analysis using multiple regressions on a sample of 7182 from 2017 shows that: 1) the tenure heterogeneity of the senior management team has a negative impact on M&A performance;2) the education heterogeneity of the senior management has a significant negative impact on M&A performance;3) the functional heterogeneity of the senior management team has a significant positive impact on M&A performance;and all of the above results have passed the robustness test. This study enriches the research on the influencing factors of M&A performance, and takes “work-related” as the entry point to prove the significant impact of high work-related heterogeneity of senior management team on M&A performance, which helps to solve the controversy about the role of heterogeneity of the senior management team in M&A in previous literature, and provides suggestions on the layout of the top management team of enterprises in practice.展开更多
