公司治理研究主要从两个视角来研究委托人与经理人之间的关系,即代理主义视角和管家主义视角。代理主义视角把经理人视为代理人,从而形成代理主义理论;管家主义视角把经理人视为公司资产的管家,从而形成管家主义理论。文章介绍了经理人管家主义行为的理论基础、概念内涵、结构测量,并且探讨了经理人管家主义行为的影响因素、心理过程模型,最后指出未来研究应该集中在管家主义行为的影响因素和影响结果、管家主义文化或气氛、员工管家主义行为、集体管家主义行为等方面。
There are two different perspectives used to explore the relationship between principals and managers in corporate governance research field,one is agency perspective,the other is stewardship perspective. The agency perspective views managers as agents,thereby agency theory is developed. While the stewardship perspective views managers as stewards of organizational assets, thereby stewardship theory is developed. Based on the review of past researches about stewardship, this article comprehensively introduced the theoretical foundation,definition,dimension and measurement of managerial stewardship behavior, and also discussed the influencing factors and psychological process model of managerial stewardship behavior. At the end of this article,we pointed out that future research should focus on the antecedents and outcome variables of stewardship behavior,stewardship culture or climate,employee stewardship behavior,collective stewardship behavior,and so on.
