this paper investigated the impact of promotion incentive on R&D strategy with a pooled data sample of the 1145 publicly listed Chinese ChiNext companies for the period 2009-2013. The results showed that the top managers’ promotion incentive was significantly negative to R&D and the staffs’ promotion incentive was significantly positive to R&D. Further evidence showed the growth could moderate the relationship between staff promotion incentive and R&D.
