7460董事会非正式层级是董事会中因成员能力和影响力不同而形成的非正式结构，对成员互动产生影响。该领域研究对于揭示董事会治理效应的中间路径具有重要意义。不过，现有研究对其内涵的界定并不清晰，对其作用机制的理解也存在差异。通过评述相关文献，本研究首先从形成因素、层级秩序、结构特点三方面界定董事会非正式层级内涵，对其产生过程加以梳理。随后将非正式层级的作用机制归纳为权力距离观和关系契约观，并且比较二者在个体层面的差异性和群体层面的一致性，总结非正式层级正反两方面作用效果并构建理论框架。在此基础上，根据情境因素的特点区分外源性、内源性两类因素，并针对现有研究的不足进行展望。通过剖析隐性秩序对决策互动过程的深刻影响，进一步拓展了董事会研究由静态结构向动态过程深入的相关理论。
