Corporate governance mechanism and firm performance in Saudi Arabia

Abstract: The intention of this study is to examine the relationship of board size with firm performance among the health care equipment and services listed firms in Saudi Arabia for the period ranging from 2010 to 2019. The pooled ordinary least square (POLS) regression findings mention that the board size was positively associated with firm performance in both return on assets (ROA) and return on equity (ROE) models. This shows that better governed companies tend to attain better firm performance. This study results m… Show more

“…Corporate governance has a significant effect on corporate performance (H: β = 0.230, t = 2.242, p < 0.05), confirming the earlier studies by (Fallatah & Dickins, 2012) and (Bazhair, 2021) and negating (Buallay et al, 2017). The confirmation of H 3 supports the notion that those companies that actively focus on CG practices outperform operationally, financially and in market-based terms.…”

“…Nevertheless, the pooled effect size and the pooled confidence interval of the random effect model (0.13 [0.07 to 0.19]) are statistically significant. However, an examination of the forest plot (Figure 4) indicates that Bazhair (2021); Bazhair (2021); Habtoor (2021); Habtoor (2021); Habtoor (2021); Sulimany et al (2021) have wider 95% confidence intervals, meaning that the studies have less precision than the others. The predictors in these studies were board size and family-member board membership.…”

“…On the other hand, firms with weak mechanism of corporate governance would be deficient to hold directors accountable, thus cannot guarantee shareholders wealth creation (Jensen and Meckling, 1976;Kyereboah-Coleman, 2008;Agyemang and Castellini, 2015). Many companies realized the concept of shareholder value and begin to implement initiatives for enhancing shareholder wealth (Bazhair, 2021;Sulimany et al, 2021). Once system of corporate governance is inadequate or absent, outside investors invest their capital to companies which have enough corporate governance framework to protect shareholder value.…”
