DESCRIPTION:Prof. Zeki Simsek\, Clemson University\nThe Doctoral Program i
 n Management of Technology is organizing a research day where the PhD stud
 ents of the program will present their current work.\nProf. Zeki Simsek (C
 lemson University) will give a keynote address on "The Influence of CEO Co
 re Self-Evaluations on Firm Performance".\n \nABSTRACT\n \nDespite growi
 ng interest in the role of executive confidence in firm outcomes\, the que
 stion of whether and under what conditions a CEO’s level of core self-ev
 aluations has an influence on firm performance remains unanswered. We argu
 e that firms should benefit from having CEOs with high core self-evaluatio
 n (CSE)\, but only to the extent to which they have both the opportunity a
 nd the means to enact the behavioral manifestations of their level of CSE.
   We then test the model using a longitudinal\, mixed-methods design and 
 dataset. Following a survey of CEOs in 2005\, we tracked the performance o
 f 172 firms across macroeconomic shifts in the Irish economy from 2006 thr
 ough 2010. The findings show that CEO CSE is positively associated with fi
 rm performance under conditions of macroeconomic buoyancy and abundant sla
 ck\, but not under conditions of the opportunity and resource scarcity.\n\
