“…Thus, these banks would target low liquidity to hold consequently, greater exposure to liquidity risk. The relationship is in accordance with the theory of too big to fail (Stern & Feldman, 2004, Alfalah et al, 2022. Deari et al (2022) show a positive relationship between economic growth and liquidity risk.…”

Banks and liquidity risk are synonymous with each other due to inevitable asset-liability mismatches derived from deposit and lending activities. The study aims to investigate this issue by highlighting a new insight into the non-linear function between profitability and liquidity risk. With the aspiration to include both Islamic and conventional banks from nine Asia-Pacific countries, this study involves the unbalanced panel data of a 10-year period that covers from 2011 to 2020. The final sample ends with 285 banks and 2,116 observations. The study employs a quadratic random effect model with clusters adjusted errors comprised of five interest predictors namely profitability, credit risk, bank capital, income diversification and bank size. The findings discover profitability, bank capital, income diversification, size and economic condition play vital roles in managing banks liquidity. The findings reveal the existence of moral hazard for larger and highly capitalized banks with greater exposure to liquidity risk. High-margin banks are also prone to maintain lower liquidity levels, thus exposed to greater risk. Banks are advocated to elevate higher earnings and maintain adequate levels of capital and assets with the caution of moral hazard issues. Therefore, the regulatory body in each country is proposed to intervene and monitor especially the higher margin banks to lessen the moral hazard issue.

“…The findings indicated that corporate governance had a significant and positive effect on financial performance. In Saudi Arabia, Alfalah et al (2022) examined the effect of corporate governance practices on firm performance in the telecommunication sector. The results showed that the corporate governance practices, i.e., internal audit, internal audit committee, and internal board size, had significant and positive effect on firm performance.…”

“…However, corporate governance has remained extensively controversial to researchers, corporate managers, financial analyst, academicians, and strategists (Onu & Ndah, 2022). The insufficiency of existing corporate governance legislation, principles, structures, and processes to prevent these types of frauds has stoked disputes over the effectiveness of these governing mechanisms (Alfalah, Muneer, & Hussain, 2022). Corporate governance has received attention globally due to the recent corporate failure in many corporate organizations (Arenekeet al, 2022;Munyoki, 2021).…”

The use of tour operators and travel agents are the two well-known intermediaries in the tourism industry that help distribute information about tourist destination. However, the performance of tour operators and travel agents has been on the decline in the recent past. The basic rationale of corporate governance mechanisms is to increase the performance of firms. However, the effect of corporate governance mechanisms on firm performance is one of the most controversial research questions. The link between corporate governance and firm performance is still not fully established. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of corporate governance mechanisms on performance of travel agencies and tour operators in Mombasa County, Kenya. Specifically, the study examined the effect of board meetings, board independence, board composition and board size on performance of travel agencies and tour operators in Mombasa County, Kenya. The theoretical framework was anchored on the agency theory, stewardship theory, and stakeholder theory. The study employed the correlational, cross-sectional survey research design to test non-causal relationships among study variables. The target population consisted of 40 travel agencies and 121 tour operators in Mombasa County, Kenya. The proportionate stratified random sampling technique was utilized to select a sample size of 29 travel agencies and 86 tour operators in Mombasa County, Kenya. The unit of observation consisted of the chief executive officer, while the unit of analysis consisted travel agency and tour operator. A pilot study was conducted to ascertain the validity and reliability of the constructed survey questionnaire. The pilot trial sample size consisted of 9 travel agencies and 26 tour operators in Mombasa County, Kenya. The pilot study results suggested that the items in the developed survey questionnaire had acceptable validity and acceptable reliability. A cross-sectional survey-based approach was used to collect primary data. With the help of 3 research assistants, the researcher utilized the drop and pick method to distribute a total of 115survey questionnaires. The collected data were processed and entered into the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) version 26 to create a data sheet used for statistical analysis. The collected data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. The Pearson's product moment correlation analysis was performed to confirm or deny the relationship between the study variables. The Pearson's correlation results showed that board meetings, board independence, board composition and board size had positive and significant relationship with the performance of travel agencies and tour operators in Mombasa County, Kenya.

“…The proposed research will analyse the changes made to the corporate governance regulations in lieu of the Enterprise performance for perceived relations (Montagu, 2015). Different studies (e.g., Alshareef et al, 2015;Alfalah et al, 2022) have been done to investigate the bond between corporate governance and company's performance in emerging and developing countries. Nevertheless, few have considered the literature on Saudi Arabia.…”

This study investigates the role of corporate governance regulations on the financial performance within listed companies in Saudi Arabia. 120 organisations were selected from Saudi Stock Exchange, Tadawul, over a period of four years between 2016 to 2019 for 565 observations. The data were gathered about the intendent variable of board independence, board size, board meeting, board interlocking, in addition to firm size and leverage as moderators. The independent variable was Tobin’s q. The result of this study shows that there is a negative relationship between board size and board interlocking on one hand and financial performance of the listed companies on the other hand. Other independent variables of independent directorships and frequency of board meeting were shown to have a positive effect on financial performance. The outcome of this study supports the theoretical foundations of stakeholder theory about the importance of reducing the monopoly of the agents (directors on board) over the decisions of the company. Such reduction of the effect of directors can be done through maximising the number of meetings accompanied by maximising the number of independent directors on board. Also, by reducing board interlocking, the influence of directors will shrink while increasing board size will slow down the process of taking decisions which affect companies’ performance.
