Abstract:
Transactional leadership refers to leader behaviors that specify goals, reward followers for task completion, and correct followers’ mistakes. In this paper, we draw upon social learning theory to examine a model in which a CEO’s transactional leadership positively predicts a firm’s error aversion culture which, in turn, increases firm performance but decreases firm innovation. Further, CEO gender is hypothesized to serve as a moderator such that women CEOs have stronger relationships. Based on both experimental (Study 1) and field data (Study 2), our results supported the hypotheses and showed, as compared with men CEOs, women CEOs’ transactional leadership has a more positive indirect effect on firm performance but a more negative indirect effect on firm innovation, both via the mediating role of firm error aversion culture. These findings shed new light on CEO leadership and leader gender research by showing how task-oriented CEO behaviors can be a double-edged sword for organizational outcomes.
