Abstract

Abstract Research has shown that CEO traits matter to the performance of the organization. In new ventures created by single founders, we propose in this study that single founders’ tertius iungens orientation is critical to the new venture success. Specifically, we establish a moderated mediation model in which the single founders’ need to belong acts as a critical antecedent of their tertius iungens orientation, whereas the key managers’ need to belong moderates the effect of founder’s tertius iungens. We tested these hypotheses based on a two-wave and multi-sourced data from 101 Chinese entrepreneurial firms. Findings revealed that single founders’ tertius iungens orientation is positively related to the new ventures’ performance. Moreover, among firms with key managers who are high on need to belong, there is an indirect effect of single founders’ need to belong on firm performance through single founders’ tertius iungens orientation.
