Description

This scholarly work addresses the longstanding discretion puzzle in organisational management by synthesising principal-agent theory, stewardship theory, and managerial discretion theory into an empirically-validated framework. Drawing on a representative sample of double-blind interviews with managers from 467 firms across China and employing partial least squares path modelling (PLS), the book resolves contradictory findings about whether granting managers greater discretion enhances, maintains, or diminishes organisational performance. Published by Springer as part of the Contributions to Management Science series, this used book in good condition offers both theoretical insights and practical implications for understanding managerial behaviour in Chinese companies and multinationals operating in the region.

Key Features

Synthesises principal-agent theory, stewardship theory, and managerial discretion theory into a unified empirical model for resolving the discretion puzzle.

Based on double-blind interviews with managers from 467 firms in China, providing robust real-world evidence for the theoretical framework.

Uses partial least squares path modelling (PLS) methodology to analyse relationships between managerial discretion and organisational performance outcomes.

Addresses both Chinese domestic companies and multinationals, offering comparative insights relevant to international business management.

Published by Springer in the Contributions to Management Science series, lending academic credibility to the research findings.
