The unique business environment and inconclusive findings make it interesting to conduct investigations related to corporate governance and performance in Indonesia. The investigation is carried out on all firms on the Indonesia Stock Exchange, which The Indonesian Institute for Corporate Governance has surveyed for almost two decades (2001 to 2019). The test results find a significant relationship between corporate governance and firm performance. This study underscores the importance of stakeholders in making a collective contribution to the firm. A series of tests have been carried out to validate these findings, and the results remain robust. This finding has important contributions and implications for regulators and firms, especially in developing countries.

This study investigates public trust in the firm supervisory board, an essential indicator of good corporate governance in some literature. By using 474 non-financial entities in Indonesia during the COVID-19 pandemic and considering a number of firm fundamental factors, this study documents evidence of irrational investor behavior during the pandemic. Investors seem to panic and respond negatively to financial information. However, the public still believes in the independent supervisory board's contribution to the firm. This effect is getting stronger with the presence of an increasingly dominant supervisory board. These results are still robust during repeated testing. This empirical evidence is useful to regulators in emerging markets, industry, and academia.
