“…Other certain studies investigate market reactions to M&A activities influenced by CEO power [ 6 ]. Similarly, there are numerous studies on market reactions to dividend payout [ 7 , 8 ] or share repurchase events [ [9] , [10] , [11] ]. While [ 12 ] focuses on analyzing market reactions in two scenarios: increased dividend rates and decreased dividend rates, then [ 13 , 14 ] investigate the differences in market reactions in case of cash dividend and stock dividend.…”

“…Several things differentiate the practices of cash holdings in emerging countries’ markets from developed countries’ markets. According to the findings of Al-Najjar (2013), institutional factors may have an impact on financial practices, for example, on dividend policy (Ed-Dafali et al, 2023), and cash holdings. Relative to developed markets, such as the US, socio-economic factors such as law and order conditions are weak, which is one of differences in their financial practices (North, 2005).…”

Corporate cash holdings have received increased attention from researchers and practitioners as cash management is a crucial task for executives. Holding too much cash can result in low returns and mismanagement by managers. Conversely, holding low cash reserves can lead to missed investment opportunities. The present study examines the relationship between board governance, financial constraints, and corporate cash holdings. The robust fixed-effects method is used in this study to analyze 860 A-listed firms in China from 2005 to 2020. An index is designed to measure board effectiveness, while financial constraints are measured using Z-score, the Kaplan and Zingales index, and the SA index. The major findings document that the financially less constrained firms hold more cash when there is an effective board governance. Furthermore, financially less constrained firms have more robust board governance to minimize the agency concerns of managers and shareholders. This research provides an inference for stockholders’ activism connected to the cash holdings of the financially constrained and less constrained companies. The findings offer useful policy implications for stakeholders to reform contemporary cash holding policies. Specifically, understanding the role of an effective governance system for financially less constrained firms would help minimize the potential agency conflict.

The article synthesizes existing research on economic, social, and governance (ESG) practices and explores their impact on corporate sustainability and financial outcomes. A systematic literature review (SLR) followed PRISMA guidelines, analyzing 85 peer‐reviewed articles from high‐quality journals indexed in Scopus. The results reveal that robust governance mechanisms—such as board diversity, strategic integration of ESG criteria, and effective risk management—are key drivers of enhanced ESG performance and corporate profitability. However, the findings also highlight significant gaps in current knowledge, particularly regarding emerging concepts like green innovation, ESG controversies, and digital transformation. The study concludes that further research is needed to develop a more nuanced understanding of how different governance structures and ESG practices interact and to provide clearer guidance for policymakers and corporate managers in fostering sustainable business practices.
