A structural analysis of dominant coalitions in small banks
Abstract
This study examined the orientations of 125 executive officers and board members from seven financial institutions concerning the composition of their firm’s sociometrically-defined dominant coalitions. Hypotheses testing found that in seven small banks, dominant coalition members could be distinguished from non-members by their orientation toward internal organizational factors. In contrast to prior research, the study found no evidence of a significant relationship between board members’ tenure, relative to that of the CEO, and their membership in the organization S dominant coalition.
