Abstract
We integrate behavioral agency and socioemotional wealth literature to analyze the role of dominant firm principals in the managerial agent’s (CEO’s) response to equity-based pay. We combine these literatures in order to enhance the behavioral agency model’s (BAM’s) predictive validity with regard to firm risk-taking as a function of both agent and principal risk preferences.
We argue that founders’ and family owners’ risk behavior is driven by concentrated socioemotional and financial firm-specific risk bearing. Our theory and empirical findings suggest that CEOs of family and founder firms are less likely than CEOs of non-family and nonfounder firms to respond to incentives created by stock options.
