    We investigate the impact of CEO divorce on firm performance and examine how this relationship depends on the CEO’s life stage and the involvement of the CEO’s family in the firm. Using data from Statistics Sweden covering the period from 2004 to 2014, we tested our hypotheses using a difference-in-difference design on a matched sample of 2,336 firms, most of which are small firms. With our results we contribute to upper echelons theory by showing that CEO divorce negatively affects firm performance, and that this relationship strongly depends on the length of the marriage, the presence of children, as well as whether the CEO’s spouse and children work in the firm. We show that under certain conditions CEO divorce can even have a positive impact on firm performance, in particular in the presence of CEO’s children in the firm.

    The influence of entrepreneurial teams’ structural power inequality on firm performance
    (2020)

    In this research article, we investigate how structural power inequality within entrepreneurial teams influences firm performance. We argue that very high and very low levels of structural power inequality undermine cooperation and communication within the team and therefore inhibit the efficient deployment of entrepreneurial team members’ resources. We find evidence for an inverted U-shaped relationship between structural power inequality and firm performance. Furthermore, we investigate the influence of social ties and find that the inverted U-relationship becomes stronger in the presence of co-worker ties and weaker in the presence of family ties. These results provide important contributions for research on power in organizations and entrepreneurship.

    The impact of entrepreneurs’ life events on entrepreneurial ventures’ performance
    (BCERC, 2019-06-07)

    Events in the private lives of entrepreneurs often involve the transition into a new life stage, the birth of a child being a particularly important life event. Building on work-family interface and upper echelons literatures, we investigate the impact of the birth of an entrepreneur’s child on firm performance in the context of privately held firms and test our hypotheses using Swedish data on owner-managed firms in the period between 2004 and 2014. Our results indicate a negative short-term impact of birth on firm performance and suggest that this impact is particularly strong for female entrepreneurs, for the birth of the first kid and for knowledge-intense firms.
