Title: Leading with Generosity and Responsibility through Reward Allocation Decisions in Teams
Abstract:
Leadership generosity and responsibility are crucial elements in organizational management, particularly when leaders allocate rewards among team members. Through theoretical modeling and experimental validation, we examine leaders' allocation decisions at different stages of a project---before it begins, after completion but before outcomes are realized, and after outcomes are known---and how their decisions depend on their personality traits. Using a preregistered randomized controlled experiment with 520 participants, we examine two key leadership behaviors: generous commitment (taking a smaller share for oneself before the project starts) and responsibility (reducing one's share after poor performance), as well as how personal traits shape these behavioral styles. Our theoretical framework predicts that more altruistic leaders will demonstrate stronger generous commitment while less altruistic leaders will demonstrate greater responsibility following negative outcomes. The empirical findings largely support these predictions. Female leaders show more generosity, while both genders demonstrate responsibility by reducing self-allocation following negative outcomes, albeit through different psychological mechanisms. Personality traits, especially altruism, as well as other psychological factors, moderate these behaviors. Our study finds that personality traits that are often associated with `strong' leadership tend not to demonstrate responsibility. These findings provide insights into leadership decision-making, with implications for organizational design and leadership development.

Title: 日本企業を対象とした経営者報酬研究
Abstract:
本報告では、日本企業の公開データを利用した経営者報酬の決まり方に関する 「出る杭は打たれる」、「固定報酬は"固定"されているのか」、「ハラキリ」の3 つの実証研究のエッセンスを報告する。日本企業の経営者報酬慣行は、他国と比較してもユニークな特徴をもつ。たとえば、変動報酬よりも固定報酬が多かったり、経営者業績予想が重要なベンチマークになっているといった慣行である。そして上記3つの実証研究は、こういった日本の報酬慣行をベースにことわざや文化的な側面と合わせて議論している。さらに、これから取り組む研究として、業績ベンチマークを利用した目標難易度と報酬の関係分析や、社外取締役の報酬感度研究を紹介する。最後に、経営者報酬以外の開示情報を利用した研究の可能性を議論する。
