본 연구에서는 우리나라에 진출한 외국인투자기업의 투자지분율차이와 CEO국적별차이가 고용에 어떠한 차이를 미치는지 보기 위해서 실증분석을 하였다. 실증분석을 하기위해, 투자비중, CEO국적, 설립시기, 기업규모등을 독립변수로 사용하였다. 고용증가율(EMPG)을 종속변수로 하여 일원분산분석을 실시하고 회귀분석하였다. INVRATIO는 투자비중을 나타내는 변수로서 1-0%<투자비중<50%, 2-투자비중=50%, 3-50%<투자비중${\leq}100%$을 나타내는 변수이며 CEO국적은 1-한국, 2-공동, 3-외국인을 나타내는 변수이다. 실증분석 결과 투자비중=50%, 50%<투자비중${\leq}100%$에서 0%<투자비중<50%보다 고용을 더 낮게 하는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 CEO국적에 따른 고용행태를 실증 분석한 결과 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 시사점은 투자지분율형태와 CEO국적별에 따른 고용분석을 이론적 검토와 통계적 분석을 함으로써 대한(對韓) 외국인직접투자에서 고용에 미칠 수 있는 영향과 그에 대한 대처방안을 검토할 수 있다는 것이다. 또한 고용에 있어서 향후 투자지분율을 현재보다 더욱 중요하게 고려해야 할 요인이라는 점을 제공했다는 것이다.

Purpose - This study empirically investigates the relationship between expatriate CEOs of multinational corporation (MNC) foreign subsidiaries and local philanthropy. Since corporate social responsibility (CSR) enables MNCs to achieve local legitimacy, this research argues that local philanthropy is a valuable strategic means for expatriate CEOs of foreign subsidiaries to secure local legitimacy. Design/methodology - To investigate our argument, we use a sample of 5,459 observations from 576 foreign subsidiaries of MNCs in Korea between 2002 and 2016. We conduct a random-effects panel Tobit regression with subsidiary CEO having foreign nationality as the independent variable and local philanthropy as the dependent variable. Findings - Our main findings are that expatriate CEOs of foreign subsidiaries are more actively engaged in local philanthropy. In addition, the positive relationship between expatriate CEOs and local philanthropy is weaker as their tenure increases. Originality/value - How expatriate CEOs overcome their weak local legitimacy as foreigners in a host country has remained unclear because existing studies mainly focused on the control and coordination aspects of staffing expatriates in CEO positions of foreign subsidiaries. This study broadens the literature on subsidiary CEO staffing and CSR activities of MNCs by identifying complementary relationships between expatriate CEOs and corporate philanthropy in the host country.

This study tested the effect of the board of directors' (BOD) characteristics on the corporate performance of the Jordanian industrial and service companies listed on the Amman Stock Exchange (ASE) during the period 2015-2019. The characteristics of the BOD were measured through the following variables: MO = managerial ownership; CEODU = CEO duality; BI = board independence; GD = gender diversity; ND = nationality diversity; AE = advanced education; BM = board meetings; BSIZ = board size; CSIZ = corporate size; CA = corporate age. The corporate performance was measured by return on assets (ROA) and return on equity (ROE). The corporate size and corporate age were used as control variables. The study sample consisted of 85 industrial and service companies with 425 observations to identify the nature of the effect of the BOD characteristics on performance. This study applied time-series data (panel data), and the multiple linear regression method was used to achieve study objectives. Results showed a positive effect of the study variables on performance, while the corporate age and the education level (BOD members) have a negative effect on performance.
