Nel lavoro si tenta di fornire una prima analisi della credibilità del CEO e del suo legame con l’Impression Management. Quest’ultimo approccio nasce dalla necessità di ottenere un impatto favorevole sull’opinione che gli altri hanno della propria persona. In proposito, la prima ipotesi è che le performance aziendali siano una variabile in grado di influenzare la credibilità del CEO. Ci si è poi soffermati sull’importanza di utilizzare adeguati approcci di Impression Management. In particolare sono stati ipotizzati due approcci: l’uno, cd. assertivo, da utilizzare per rafforzare gli effetti di una performance aziendale già alta e coerente con quella prevista; l’altro, cd. difensivo, per contrastare una performance aziendale bassa, sia rispetto a quella prevista, sia a quella attuale. Di contro, quando le performance aziendali conseguite sono inferiori (superiori) a quelle previste, la credibilità del CEO sarà indebolita dall’uso di approcci difensivi (assertivi). L’ultima considerazione riguarda la relazione tra credibilità del CEO e suo turnover, ipotizzando il prevalere di un rapporto inverso: maggiore è la sua credibilità, minore è la probabilità di essere rimosso e viceversa. In definitiva, con questo studio si auspica di aver posto le basi per un iniziale livello investigativo, dal quale possano emergere nuove possibilità di studio, a livello sia teorico che empirico, nonché importanti implicazioni sia per i ricercatori, sia per i manager delle nostre imprese.

Abstract
In the paper we provide an initial analysis of the credibility of the CEO and its link with the Impression Management. The latter approach is the need to obtain a favorable impact on the opinion that others have of person. In this regard, the first hypothesis is that corporate performance is a variable that can affect the credibility of the CEO. We then focused on the importance of using appropriate approaches Impression Management. In particular, two approaches have been proposed: one, cd. assertive, to be used to enhance the effects of a company's performance already high and consistent with that expected, and the other cd. defense, to counter a low corporate performance, both with respect to that expected, both the current one. In contrast, when the company's performance achieved are lower (higher) than those provided, the credibility of the CEO will be weakened by the use of defensive approaches (assertive.) The final consideration concerns the relationship between the CEO's credibility and its turnover, assuming the prevalence of an inverse relationship: the higher its credibility, the less likely it is to be removed and viceversa.In Ultimately, with this study we hope to have laid the foundation for an initial investigative level, from where you can discover new possibilities for the study, at both theoretical and empirical, as well as important implications both for researchers and for managers of our businesses.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
