Abstract

Is the turnover of chief executives and other members of top management teams influenced by the performance of their organizations? We address this question by analysing a panel data set of 148 English local authorities over 4 years. The empirical results show that performance and turnover are negatively related, but that this effect is weaker for chief executives than for members of their senior manage ment teams. In addition, top management turnover is higher in the years following chief executive succession. This evidence suggests that chief executives can influence top management turnover by new appointments and by ‘scapegoating’ other senior managers when organizational performance is poor.
