Chief executive officers (CEOs) engage in activism when they take public stances on sensitive socio-political issues. In this study, we address the less-explored activities that constitute CEO activism beyond single stances as the activism is maintained over time. The data cover 6 years of campaign and media materials from a case company with several CEO-initiated activist campaigns. Our findings from an inductive analysis contribute to CEO activism theorizing in three ways. First, we extend CEO activism conceptually by identifying five underlying activities that support a public stance: anchoring motivations, modeling action, taking agency, enduring criticism, and normalizing activism. Second, we bridge individual- and organization-level analyses by depicting how a CEO involves a company in activism through activities that justify interrelated topic frame and role frame. Third, we develop a processual model that includes the pre-stance, stance-taking, and post-stance phases and explains how the underlying activities are interrelated and follow a pattern that serves to maintain CEO activism. Accordingly, CEO activism includes activities, through the pre-stance, stance-taking, and post-stance phases, whereby a CEO deliberately engages personally and through a company in public debate about sensitive socio-political issues and the role of businesses in addressing them.

CEO 激进主义的过程模型:活动、框架和阶段

首席执行官 (CEO) 在对敏感的社会政治问题采取公开立场时会采取行动。在这项研究中,我们讨论了构成 CEO 激进主义的较少探索的活动,超越了单一立场,因为激进主义会随着时间的推移而保持。这些数据涵盖了一家案例公司 6 年的活动和媒体材料,该案例公司有几次由 CEO 发起的激进运动。我们从归纳分析中得出的结果有助于从三个方面对 CEO 激进主义进行理论化。首先,我们通过确定支持公共立场的五项基本活动从概念上扩展 CEO 激进主义:锚定动机、塑造行动、采取代理、持久批评和规范激进主义。第二,我们通过描述 CEO 如何通过证明相互关联的主题框架和角色框架合理的活动来让公司参与行动,从而连接个人和组织层面的分析。第三,我们开发了一个过程模型,包括立场前、立场采取和立场后阶段,并解释了基本活动如何相互关联,并遵循有助于保持 CEO 积极性的模式。因此,CEO 激进主义包括通过立场前、立场采取和立场后阶段的活动,其中 CEO 有意识地亲自参与并通过公司参与有关敏感社会政治问题以及企业在解决这些问题中的作用的公开辩论. 和立场后阶段,并解释基本活动如何相互关联并遵循有助于保持 CEO 积极性的模式。因此,CEO 激进主义包括通过立场前、立场采取和立场后阶段的活动,其中 CEO 有意识地亲自参与并通过公司参与有关敏感社会政治问题以及企业在解决这些问题中的作用的公开辩论. 和立场后阶段,并解释基本活动如何相互关联并遵循有助于保持 CEO 积极性的模式。因此,CEO 激进主义包括通过立场前、立场采取和立场后阶段的活动,其中 CEO 有意识地亲自参与并通过公司参与有关敏感社会政治问题以及企业在解决这些问题中的作用的公开辩论.
