Abstract

Research of the impact of TMT diversity on firm performance has been concluded inconsistently. It has been suggested more efforts should be made to understand the TMT process influences the TMT diversity-firm performance relationship. Based on the integrative model provided by Van Knippenberg et al. (2004), this study examined the contextual factors influencing the TMT diversity-performance relationship. Specifically, both team cohesion and team interdependence were examined as moderating the relationships between TMT cognitive diversity and performance. Moreover, elaboration of task-related information was proposed to mediate these moderated relationships. Results with a sample of top management teams from 133 Chinese firms indicate that team cohesion and team interdependence moderate the relationships between TMT cognitive diversity and performance, and the positive moderating effects are further mediated by the elaboration of task-related information of the TMT.
