摘要
Few studies have focused on the role of non-CEO top manager inside directors in corporate governance, especially in the context of emerging countries. Despite their tendency to be subject to CEOs, non-CEO top manager inside directors can counterbalance CEOs in specific situations. Using panel data on state-owned listed companies in China, we conduct an empirical study of how non-CEO top manager inside directors influence CEO pay-performance sensitivity under serious agency conflicts. We find that the proportion of non-CEO top manager inside directors is significantly negatively correlated with CEO pay-performance sensitivity in state-owned enterprises, whereas the shareholding proportion of the controlling shareholders weakens this relationship. Furthermore, we find that non-CEO top manager inside directors significantly increase executives' on-the-job consumption. Our conclusions are robust to endogeneity testing and alternative specifications. (C) 2019 Sun Yat-sen University. Production and hosting by Elsevier B.V.
