Abstract

This field study examines the performance implications of CEO succession plans and compensation perceptions in a sample of single-business manufacturing firms. Zajac (1990) tested these relationships in his 'CEO-issues model of firm performance' using a sample of the largest US corporations. Our study replicates Zajac's (1990) earlier work, but uses a sample of CEOs who head smaller, single-business manufacturing firms. Our results indicate that smaller-firm CEOs who perceive a connection between their firm's wealth and their own reputation are associated with higher-performing firms.
