Mainstream theories of corporate governance and the corporate governance – firm performance relationship
description This paper reviews the mainstream theories of corporate governance and the relationship between corporate governance structures and frm fnancial performance. We show that the four predominant theories often employed to study the corporate governance – frm performance relationship are agency theory, stewardship theory, resource dependence theory, and institutional theory. In spite of being an overwhelmingly predominant theoretical approach in corporate governance studies, agency theory has recently been criticized for not fully reflect corporate governance practices in various institutional contexts. It is, therefore, necessary to re-examine the traditional agency framework to understand the corporate governance – frm performance relationship in various institutional environments. There are also calls for the application of a multi-theoretical approach to capture the complex nature of the corporate governance – frm performance relationship. It is also clear from our review that the effect of corporate governance on frm performance is inconclusive as empirical fndings concerning this relationship are mixed in different analysis contexts. It is argued that such inconclusive fndings of the corporate governance – frm performance relationship may be caused by the national institution differences and the imperfection of estimation techniques.
