摘要：

This paper investigates the impact of firm founders as top managers (founder-managers) on firm innovation. We first propose a text-based indicator of founder-manager paternalism to measure the emotional relationship between founder-managers and the firms they founded from the perspective of socioemotional wealth. We further investigate the role of founder-manager paternalism in firm innovation using a sample of non-state-owned listed firms in China during the period 2007-2017. The results show that founder-manager paternalism has a positive impact on firm innovation. Moreover, the findings indicate that higher levels of corporate governance may undermine the positive relationship between founder-manager paternalism and firm innovation.
