This study, leveraging the upper echelon and social network theories, explores the association between CEO’s polychronicity and SMEs' international performance under the complete mediation effect of social networks. The paper explores this relationship under the moderation effect of CEO perceived time pressure and synchrony preference. The paper investigates a moderated mediating relationship, where CEO time pressure and synchrony preference moderate the relationship between social networks and SME international performance. The study is based on a sample of 186 UK firms. Findings of the study suggest that social network fully mediates the CEO polychronicity and firm international performance relationship. Furthermore, CEO perceived time pressure moderates the social network and SME international performance relationship such that it reduces the positive indirect association between CEO polychronicity and SME international performance. CEO synchrony preference, on the contrary, enhances the positive indirect association between CEO polychronicity and SME performance.
