Abstract Based on the upper echelon theory and manager cognition theory, this study explores the heterogeneity effect and the boundary conditions of Zhongyong leadership in the conception and implementation stages of management innovation, referring to the process model of management innovation. Through the empirical test of 315 questionnaire data, the results reveal that the Zhongyong leadership has a direct positive effect on management innovation in the conception process, but negatively moderates the implementation process of management innovation. Boundary condition analysis shows that under high turbulence of external environment, the positive impact of Zhongyong leadership on management innovation is stronger, while the negative influence on the management innovation’s implementation process is weakened.
