We integrate political psychology and upper echelons research to introduce an alternative conceptualization of executive political ideology by separating the two distinct ideologies: social and economic ideologies. We theorize and test how the two ideologies exert distinct effects on a critical strategic outcome—corporate entrepreneurship. We examine this contention in Iran, a political context that sharply deviates from the exclusively studied U.S. context. We find that social and economic conservatism exert opposing effects on CE through distinct strategic decision-making processes; CEO social conservatism positively affects CE by promoting intuitive strategic decision-making, whereas CEO economic conservatism negatively affects CE by impairing cooperative strategic decision- making. These results highlight the need to separate social and economic ideologies especially in non-U.S. contexts and inform the underlying strategic decision-making processes through which executive ideology shapes strategic behaviors. The promising results also underscore the importance of examining the strategic implications of executive political ideology in diverse political contexts that differ from the U.S. context.

解开政治意识形态：CEO 社会和经济意识形态、战略决策过程和企业创业

我们整合了政治心理学和高层研究，通过分离两种不同的意识形态：社会意识形态和经济意识形态，引入了行政政治意识形态的替代概念化。我们对这两种意识形态如何对关键战略成果——企业创业——产生不同的影响进行理论分析和测试。我们在伊朗研究了这一论点，伊朗的政治背景与专门研究的美国背景大相径庭。我们发现社会和经济保守主义通过不同的战略决策过程对 CE 产生相反的影响；CEO 社会保守主义通过促进直觉的战略决策对 CE 产生积极影响，而 CEO 经济保守主义通过损害合作战略决策对 CE 产生负面影响。这些结果强调了区分社会和经济意识形态的必要性，尤其是在非美国背景下，并为行政意识形态塑造战略行为的潜在战略决策过程提供信息。有希望的结果还强调了在不同于美国背景的不同政治背景下检查行政政治意识形态的战略意义的重要性。
