CEOs’ Attitudes to Change, Strategic Flexibility and Organizational Performance in Greek ICT Industry
Journal Title: International Journal of Management Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 12
Abstract
We examine the relationships between CEOs’ attitudes to change (cognitive, affective & behavioural attitudes; tolerance of ambiguity; individual readiness for organizational change), strategic flexibility and organizational performance. Survey data were collected from 159 Greek firms from ICT industry. The paper hypothesizes that strategic flexibility mediates the relationships between CEOs’ attitudes to change and organizational performance. The research findings note the importance of CEOs’ attitudes in fostering flexibility; they indicate how each attitude influences strategic flexibility; as well as they confirm that strategic flexibility affects positively organizational performance. Theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed.
