股权结构、高管激励与公司绩效实证研究——来自我国上市房地产公司的数据

针对股权结构和高管激励对公司绩效的的影响,通过选取2013年在我国深沪A股上市的92家房地产公司为样本,对其股权结构、高管激励和公司绩效关系进行实证研究认为,随着股权集中度的提高,公司绩效随之上升,其次,高管薪酬和高管持股对公司绩效都有显著影响,其中股权激励比薪酬激励对公司绩效的影响更加明显。     

中小板上市公司股权激励与公司绩效关系实证研究

以截至2008年4月30日,深市中小板221家上市公司中实施股权激励方案的25家上市公司为样本,对中小板上市公司股权激励与公司绩效关系进行实证研究,研究结果显示:(1)中小板上市公司股权激励与公司绩效存在较显著的非线性相关关系;(2)中小板上市公司的规模对股权激励与公司绩效关系影响不显著;(3)公司的成长能力对高管层持股与公司绩效关系影响显著。研究结论有助于正确把握目前我国中小板上市公司高管股权激励与公司绩效的状况,为中小板上市公司股权激励和公司治理机制的完善提供实证依据。     

高管报酬、公司分红与薪酬契约改进

基于委托代理理论分析上市公司高管报酬对分红的影响机理,进而以2003-2010年沪深A股上市公司为样本,检验高管报酬与公司分红的关系。研究发现:高管货币薪酬、高管持股对公司分红具有显著正向影响,并且二者对分红的影响具有"替代效应"。相比于国有企业,这种"报酬-分红"敏感性关系在民营上市公司中更为突出;另外,我国上市公司高管薪酬契约并不能对高管"效率"进行有效识别,高管激励与分红优化,需要从"高管报酬契约设计"这一源头抓起。     

我国高管持股比例与绩效关系研究——创业板上市公司为例

高管股权薪酬激励是解决委托代理问题的重要途径之一,以2012年我国创业板上市公司为研究对象,研究高管持股比例与公司绩效之间的关系。实证研究显示:高管人员持股与否与公司绩效相关性不大,CEO持股比例、其他高管人员平均持股均与公司绩效呈显著正相关关系,公司规模、高管平均薪酬等因素对公司绩效的影响不大。     

国有控股上市公司高级管理者薪酬激励与公司绩效研究

本文以深市国有控股上市公司为样本,考察了高级管理人员报酬与公司绩效相关关系。研究发现我国国有控股上市公司高级管理者年度薪金报酬与公司经营绩效存在显著正相关关系,而我国国有控股上市公司高管持股比例与公司绩效不存在显着正相关关系,说明股权激励没能起到激励高管人员努力工作以提高公司价值和业绩,需要加强实施力度和确认实施方法。     

公司治理与公司绩效关系的实证分析——以竞争性行业上市公司为例

运用深沪两市126家竞争性行业上市公司2002年的数据,从股权结构、董事会结构和高管激励等内外两种治理机制综合考虑了我国公司治理与公司绩效之间的关系。认为多元化股东、外部董事比例和高管激励是公司治理最为重要的三个因素,是影响公司绩效最为显著的变量;第一大股东是否为法人股、独立董事的作用、是否在国外上市对公司绩效没有显著的影响作用。     

高管报酬契约与心理契约互补效应研究——基于我国上市公司经验分析

设计出能够对高管实施有效激励的报酬契约,一直被看成解决公司委托--代理矛盾的重要手段.但研究发现高管报酬与公司业绩指标的相关性很低,对高管的报酬激励很难达到预期的效果.随着各学科的相互渗透,心理契约对员工行为的影响开始被关注,心理学被引入到研究中来,高管自愿离职的例证表明,心理契约对高管行为的影响可能甚于报酬激励.文章以我国上市公司为样本进行研究发现,高管报酬契约与心理契约存在互补效应,这为降低企业代理成本提供了启示.重视高管人员的心理契约,将心理契约激励与高管报酬契约结合起来,而不是一味地强调报酬激励,不但可以降低企业支付的高管报酬代理成本,还能激发高管工作的积极性,获取心理契约带来的好处.     

浅议高管激励对企业绩效的影响

我国企业高层管理人员的激励问题一直是理论界与企业界关注的热点。本文通过理论上的研究和资料的整理,发现公司绩效与公司高管年度薪酬存在显著关系。所以本文在此基础上指出我国高管激励存在的缺陷,并指出一定的方法以期能通过这样的方法来指导和改善我国的高管激励。     

中国上市公司高管薪酬与公司绩效的相关性研究

伴随现代企业的发展,代理问题一直是企业委托人与代理人之间亟需解决的问题,代理问题的存在,使得公司所有者与经营者之间利益出现偏差,因此,合理的薪酬合约制度成为解决这一难题的良药。本文以2011--2013年中国上市公司沪深两市高管报酬为数据样本,采用主成分分析法以及多元线性回归分析法研究发现高管报酬与公司规模、董事会规模显著正相关,而与公司绩效之间不存在显著相关关系。     

高管特征对上市公司经营绩效的影响效应

高管特征对上市公司经营绩效的影响效应因股权性质不同而有所差异。本文以汽车制造业110家上市公司为研究对象,实证检验高管特征对不同性质上市公司经营绩效的影响效应。研究发现,高管的学历、任期、薪酬、兼职程度与国有及非国有上市公司经营绩效均相关,但影响程度存在差异;对国有上市公司来说,高管年龄与其经营绩效显著正相关,但非国有上市公司这一影响并不显著;高管性别对国有及非国有上市公司经营绩效均没有显著影响。     

Managerial ownership,diversification, and firm performance: Evidence from an emerging market

Numerous existing studies have explored the impact of corporate diversification on firm performance, whereas considerably less research has investigated the inter-relationships among managerial ownership, diversification, and firm performance. This paper develops several hypotheses based on the agency theory self-interest perspective and tests the relationships among managerial ownership, corporate diversification, and firm performance using a sample of 98 emerging market firms listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange. The results show a U-shaped relationship between managerial ownership and corporate diversification, similar to that found in prior studies. However, the inflection point is 33.17%, which is lower than that found in previous studies. Moreover, in contrast to prior results, corporate diversification is found to be positively associated with short-term firm performance and bears no relationship with mid-term firm performance, while firms engaged in unrelated diversification outperform those engaged in related diversification. This paper concludes with theoretical implications and suggestions for future research.     

The influence of firm and executive characteristics on performance-vested stock option grants

Motivated by the considerable changes over the last two decades in the form and composition of executive remuneration schemes and the increasing use of performance-vested stock options (PVSOs), this study examines the determinants of PVSO grants. Using data on 4193 executive-year observations of 1373 executive directors in 243 FTSE 350 non-financial companies from 1999 to 2004, I examine the factors that influence PVSO grants at both the firm and the executive level. While controlling for unobservable industry, firm, and executive level fixed effects, the evidence shows that the PVSO grants awarded to individual executives are associated with observable features of corporate governance and indicators of managerial power. More specifically, the results support the following statements: (1) good corporate governance structures facilitate the use of PVSO plans; (2) the proportion of PVSO grants in the total compensation package is smaller for top mangers with more controlling power; (3) PVSO plans are less frequently used to compensate managers who are approaching their retirement and/or have a large equity stake in the firm; (4) relative to non-CEO executives, CEOs are more likely to be rewarded with PVSOs.     

The Effect of Stakeholder Preferences, Organizational Structure and Industry Type on Corporate Community Involvement

This paper analyses the relationships between corporate community involvement activities, the organizational structures within which they are managed, the firm's industry and evolving stakeholder attitudes and preferences in a sample of 148 U.K. based firms who have demonstrated a clear desire to be socially responsible. The research highlights significant associations between the allocation of responsibility for community involvement within the firm, its industry and the extent of its community involvement activities. Consistent with the view that managerial structures may play a significant role in the implementation of community initiatives, the results identify significant variations in community involvement policies across alternative organizational forms. However, important similarities in corporate community policies across alternative structures are also shown to exist suggesting that corporate community involvement activities may be influenced by the preferences of societal stakeholders.     

The Impact of Top Mana(g)ement Team Process on Corporate Social Responsibility and Firm Performance

This article aims to explore how top management team (TMT) process affects strategic corporate social responsibility (CSR), and in turn, how strategic CSR influences firm performance. In addition, this article examines whether CSR mediates the relationship between TMT process and firm performance. The sample consists of 203 hotels from the tourism and hospitality industry in the southeast China. TMT processes assessed are communication and cohesion. Results indicate that (1) corporate social responsibility is positively related to firm performance, (2) top management team process (communication and cohesion) is positively related to corporate social responsibility, and (3) corporate social responsibility fully mediates the relationship between top management team process and firm performance. Results highlight upper echelons mechanisms that underpin the TMT process–firm performance relationship. This study contributes to understanding how TMT process affects firm performance both directly and indirectly, through strategic CSR.     

Corporate governance,globalization and firm productivity

We examine the relationship between globalization, corporate governance and firm productivity. The results, using longitudinal data from Korea, indicate that the positive effect of liberalising equity ownership on firms’ total factor productivity (TFP) was reinforced by indirect managerial effects when a firm improved its corporate governance. Our findings also confirm that the interaction of the managerial effect with increased foreign equity ownership is more significant than interaction with exports, suggesting that liberalising foreign investment in the host market is more effective in capitalising on the potential benefits of corporate governance reform than increasing exports to overseas markets, reflected in learning by exporting.     

The Limits of Shareholder Value

Shareholder value orientation has been introduced as a means to improve the performance of the corporation. The paper investigates the theoretical justification for the claim that increasing shareholder value is the purpose of corporate governance. It demonstrates that shareholder value is the control principle, not the purpose of the firm. The idea that shareholder value is the only goal of the corporation is a mistaken transfer from the financial to the industrial firm. The paper also questions that the merger of manager interests and owner interests introduced by the remuneration of managers by stock options improves the management performance. The self-apportioning of stock options by the management is in danger of becoming a form of insider trading.     

Web Adoption and Firm Performance in the Fashion Industry: The Moderating Role of Social and Economic Rational Managerial Perceptions

This article draws on an integrated perspective of institutional theory and the resource-based view of the firm by studying the causal relationships among Web technology adoption, social and economic rational managerial perceptions, and firm results. It does so in the context of the fashion industry. The article suggests that both resource-based view and institutional factors may better explain firm performance. Isomorphic rationality as institutional forces of firm homogeneity are proposed as determinants of rent potential that complement and extend resource-based explanations of firm success variation and sustainable competitive advantage in the fashion industry.     

Board Characteristics,Compliance, and Firm Performance: Empirical Findings from Colombia

Using data from a single database of Colombian firms, we confirmed an endogenous relationship between specific board characteristics, compliance with corporate governance guidelines, and firm performance. A board comprising experts without conflicts of interest is more likely to control ethical behavior, implement audit committees, review compliance with accepted accounting standards, and approve and control the firm’s strategic planning, all of which will lead to an improvement in firm results, and engagement and retention of higher quality board members. Conclusions have strong implications for public policy and managerial practice.     

Founding Family Controlled Firms: Performance, Risk, and Value

An agency theory framework is used to test the effects of founding family control on firm performance, capital structure, and value. Both the finance and management literatures regarding the relationship between firm control and firm value are explored. Controlling for size, industry, and managerial ownership, the results suggest that firms controlled by the founding family have greater value, are operated more efficiently, and carry less debt than other firms.     

Mapping the Relationship Among Political Ideology,CSR Mindset,and CSR Strategy: A Contingency Perspective Applied to Chinese Managers

The literature on antecedents of corporate social responsibility (CSR) strategies of firms has been predominately content driven. Informed by the managerial sense-making process perspective, we develop a contingency theoretical framework explaining how political ideology of managers affects the choice of CSR strategy for their firms through their CSR mindset. We also explain to what extent the outcome of this process is shaped by the firm’s internal institutional arrangements and external factors impacting on the firm. We develop and test several hypotheses using data collected from 129 Chinese managers. The results show that managers with a stronger socialist ideology are likely to develop a mindset favouring CSR, which induces the adoption of a proactive CSR strategy. The CSR mindset mediates the link between socialist ideology and CSR strategy. The strength of the relationship between the CSR mindset and the choice of CSR strategy is moderated by customer response to CSR, industry competition, the role of government, and CSR-related managerial incentives.
