摘要:Using survey data on interpersonal influence behavior from a large sample of managers and chief executive officers (CEOs) at Forbes 500 companies, we examine how ingratiatory behavior directed at individuals who control access to board positions can provide an alternative pathway to the boardroom for managers who lack the social and educational credentials associated with the power elite.

Overall, there is only a very modest growth in the measure worldwide, with the most substantial changes occurring in developi...

Our research provides a dynamic view of the conditions...
