CEO duality and its impact on firm performance represent one of the most contentious issues in both academia and business. This study, therefore, aims to examine the moderating role of CEO duality in the relationship between intellectual capital Efficiency (human, structural, relational, Capital Employed, and Innovation) and firm performance (earnings per share and Tobin's Q) among Jordanian companies. The study sample consists of services listed companies on Amman Stock Exchange. The study used panel data for the period 2014-2018 with a sample size of 230 observations. SPSS software was used to analyze the collected data. The regression results indicate a significant relationship between, IC and firm performance. When CEO Duality is incorporated into the model as a moderator, there is an increase in the R² by 7.9%. The findings from this study expand the theoretical underpinning of corporate governance research by identifying the performance implications of CEO duality within the Jordanian context. It also contributes significantly to the literature review about the current status of the practices taken in the intellectual capital components efficiency among companies listed on the Amman Stock Exchange. Findings from this study also provide contributions to the concerned policymakers such as the Ministry of Finance, Securities Commission, and Amman Stock Exchange in Jordan, to improve the current policies related to intellectual capital efficiency.

본 연구에서는 자원의존이론을 이용하여 사외이사 비중과 최고경영자의 이사회 의장직 겸임 효과가 하이테크 산업에 속해 있는 국내 상장기업의 인수합병 성과에 미치는 영향을 2004년부터 2012년까지 수행된 인수합병거래 246개를 대상으로 실증 분석하였다. 분석결과에 따르면, 사외이사 비중은 인수합병 성과에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 최고경영자가 이사회 의장직을 겸임하는 경우 인수합병 성과에 부(-)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 사외이사의 비중과 최고경영자의 이사회 의장직 겸임이 지닌 상호작용의 효과를 살펴본 결과, 최고경영자가 이사회 의장직을 겸임하는 경우 사외이사의 비중이 인수합병 성과에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 이사회 의장이 독립적인 지위를 가지는 경우 사외이사의 비중이 인수합병 성과에 부(-)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 아울러 연구결과의 타당성을 확보하기 위해 상호작용항을 통한 회귀분석 및 다양한 사건기간을 대상으로 실증분석을 수행하여 동일한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 최고경영자가 이사회 의장직을 겸임하는 경우 리더십 강화 및 조직 내 지휘체계 확립으로 인해 기업 외부의 이해관계자로부터 정당성을 확보하게 된다. 이를 통해 이사회의 자원의존 기능이 강화되며 인수합병 성과에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 해석된다. 반대로 이사회 의장이 독립적인 지위를 가지는 경우 최고경영자의 최고책임자로서의 외부 정당성이 약화된다. 따라서 이사회의 자원의존 기능이 감소되고 인수합병 성과에 부정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 해석할 수 있다. 기존의 선행연구에서는 최고경영자의 이사회 의장직 분리의 긍정적인 효과에 대해서 주목하였다면, 본 연구에서는 최고경영자의 이사회 의장직 겸임의 긍정적인 효과를 실증적으로 보여주었다는 점에서 그 의의가 있다고 생각한다.

This study aims to examine (1) the association between the chief executive officer tenure and audit quality, (2) the relationship between chief executive officer duality and audit quality, (3) the association between board independence and audit quality, (4) the relationship between board size and audit quality, and (5) the role of controlling variables (client size, leverage debt, and business complexity) in controlling these relationships. The research sample includes 325 financial reports from manufacturing firms listed in Amman Stock exchange over the 2014-2018 period. The study relationships are tested by using logistic regression. The results revealed a negative relationship, but not significant between CEO tenure and independent directors with audit quality. In addition, the results showed there is a negative effect of CEO duality on audit quality; also the results revealed that there is a statistically significant effect on the board of directors (board size) on the AQ. In general, the coefficient estimates of controlling variables show that client size and leverage debt positively affect audit quality, and on the contrary, business complexity has an insignificant positive relationship with audit quality. The summary of the study findings play an active role to external auditor opinion on business practice in towered the corporate governance system.

본 연구는 최고경영진의 인지적 특성이 R&D투자에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 분석한다. 주의기반관점(attention-based view)에 기반하여 최고경영진의 미래지향성과 위험감수성이 R&D투자 수준을 높일 수 있음을 제시한다. R&D활동은 장기적으로 독점적인 지식을 생성하는 것을 목표로 삼고 있기에 기업의 미래성장가능성 및 경쟁우위를 이해하기위해 최고 경영진의 미래지향성과 위험감수성이 R&D투자에 미치는 영향을 이해하는 것이 중요하다. 추가적으로 최고경영진의 영향력을 조절하는 요인으로 CEO 관련 특성을 제시한다. CEO는 최고경영진의 리더역할을 하고 있기 때문에 만약 CEO의 의사결정권한이 높은 수준으로 집중되는 경우 최고경영진 자체의 특성이 R&D에 미치는 영향이 감소할 수 있다. CEO 특성 중 CEO 이사회의장 겸직 여부 및 CEO 소유지분을 통해 CEO의 높은 영향력을 측정하였다. 1994년부터 2015년까지 미국 제조업체 837개의 샘플을 기반으로, 최고경영진의 미래지향성 및 위험감수성이 높을수록 R&D집중도가 증가함이 나타났다. 그러나 CEO가 이사회의 의장도 겸임하며 높은 지분을 보유할 때, 최고경영진의 R&D집중도에 대한 영향력이 감소하였다. 이는 최고경영진과 CEO 사이에 상호작용이 있으며, CEO의 영향력이 커지고 의사결정권한이 높은 상태 및 구조에 따라 변화할 수 있음을 제시한다. 결론적으로 본 연구의 실증 연구 결과는 최고경영진의 주의와 CEO의 영향력 정도가 장기적인 관점에서의 지식 활용 및 개발을 촉진시키는 데 중요한 요소임을 시사한다.

This study investigates the role of corporate governance in the dividend decision of 198 non-financial companies listed on the Colombo Stock Exchange of Sri Lanka, over the period from 2009 to 2016. Four corporate governance indicators are used in this study; managerial ownership, the board size, board independence, and CEO duality. Furthermore, this study considers three control variables such as profitability, firm size, and corporate tax. This study employed the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) model to estimate the regression models on panel data study. The major contribution of this study is exploring the insight into the effect of corporate governance factors on dividend decisions. The results of the study revealed that managerial ownership showed a significant positive impact on the dividend payout ratio. Board size showed a significant positive influence on the dividend payout ratio. Board independence negatively but significantly influenced the dividend payout ratio. CEO duality showed an insignificant negative impact on the dividend payout ratio. In the framework of these CG indicators, Sri Lankan listed firms are recommended to have dispersed ownerships, large Board size and maintain a balance of power and authority by separating the individual who is assuming the position of the CEO from the Chairperson of the Board and maintain at least two independent directors.

Purpose - This study examines the impact of company ownership nature and of the dual role of CEO and board chair on R & D investment intensity, as well as the moderating effect of this dual role. Most previous research focused on the impact of the dual role of CEO and board chair on firm performance. Design/methodology/approach - This study uses A-share companies listed on the Shenzhen and Shanghai stock exchanges in China from 2008 to 2017. The univariate and the multivariate regression analysis were hired In order to analyze the data. Findings - The results show that there is a significant negative relationship between state-owned companies and R & D investment intensity. In addition, there is a significant positive relationship between the dual role and R & D investment intensity. The effect of state ownership on R & D investment intensity is more negative when CEO-board chair duality exists. This means that in case of state-owned companies, if CEO serves as the board chair, the propensity to invest in R&D is further reduced. Research implications or Originality - This is a pioneering study that considers the joint effect of state-owned companies and dual role on R & D investment intensity in the Chinese economy.

This study aims to investigate the effect of the composition of the board and ownership structure on a firm's value in Jordanian firms. Specifically, it aims to determine the effect of board size, (CEO) duality, and family, foreign, institutional, and government ownership on a firm's value. An ordinary least square regression (OLS) was employed to examine the study hypotheses in a sample of 35 Jordanian industrial firms (175 firm-year observation) for a period of five years from 2016-2020. As measured by Tobin's Q (Q ratio) and market-to-book (MB ratio) for Jordanian industrial firms listed on Amman Stock Exchange (ASE). The result found that foreign ownership, institutional ownership, and family ownership have a significant and positive effect on firm value. By contrast, government ownership does not have a significant effect on firm value. With respect to board composition (CEO duality and board size), the study results found no evidence to support the effect of board composition on firm value. The study recommended the concerned authorities with several recommendations, most notably: taking the necessary measures to ensure the continuity and growth of family businesses because of their positive impact on the value of the company and economic growth, spreading awareness about how governance protects the interests of investors.

This study examines the effect of board structure and audit committee structure on financial reporting timeliness among Malaysia's top 100 public listed companies. Specifically, this study examines whether board independence, CEO duality, board ownership, audit committee independence, audit committee competence, and audit committee diligence influence the financial reporting timeliness of the public listed companies. This study selects the top 100 public listed companies by market capitalization listed on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia as the sample since the main board has more public reprimands on financial reporting timeliness compared to other boards. The content analysis on annual reports for five years from 2015 to 2019 is utilized. The results show that audit committee competence and audit committee diligence significantly affect financial reporting timeliness. In contrast, board independence, CEO duality, board ownership, and audit committee independence have insignificant relationships with financial reporting timeliness. The findings in this study are helpful for compliance analysis and strategy formation in enhancing financial reporting timeliness. This study contributes to the agency theory by providing a new perspective on how different sections of corporate governance features interact together to influence financial reporting timeliness. In addition, the findings can assist the regulators in establishing quality corporate governance.
