“…The result is consistent with the findings in the research of Bekeris (2012), Issah and Antw (2017), Matar et al (2018), Pervan et al (2019). Obviously, GDP is a macroeconomic variable that has been blamed for firms' performance issues (Alabdullah et al, 2014). Thus, most theoretical predictions corroborate empirical findings that GDP has a positive effect on firm performance indicators.…”

“…On the other hand, the agent tries to achieve his own interest, which requires an efficient governance mechanism such as accounting information quality (Hassan Che Haat et al, 2008). The previous studies argued that corporate governance has an effect on companies' performance and the empirical studies supported the positive effect on companies' performance (Saidat et al, 2019;Mansur, 2018;Tawfeeq Yousif Alabdullah et al, 2014;Al-Najjar, 2010;Marashdeh, 2014;Alsmady, 2018a;Ali Al-smadi et al, 2014;Al-Smady, 2017;Alsmady, 2018b;Hussin et al, 2019).…”

“…In a market such as Jordan which is unique in terms of low economic development and a royal family control, the corporate governance factors and companies' performance have been investigated in several pieces of research such as (Saidat et al, 2019;Mansur, 2018;Tawfeeq Yousif Alabdullah et al, 2014;Al-Najjar, 2010;Marashdeh, 2014;Alsmady, 2018a;Ali Alsmadi et al, (2014); Al-Smady, (2017); Alsmady, 2018b;Hussin et al, 2019). Studies on liquidity, profitability, and revenues can be referred to (Matar & Eneizan, 2018b); corporate social responsibility by (Qaisi & Finance, 2019;Alafi et al, 2012;Omar & Zallom, 2016); supply chain practices, environmental sustainability by (Jum'a et al, 2021); earning management, social and environmental costs disclosure by (Shahwan & Esra'a, 2021;Smirat et al, 2016); ownership structure by (Alabdullah, 2018); board of directors characteristics by (AlQudah et al, 2019) and other studies.…”

“…To avoid the impact of omitted variable bias (Alabdullah et al, 2014), there are two control variables used in the present study. That is based on several studies that have been done previously in MAS and also related studies (Cades, 2006;Gailding et al, 2000;Dess, Ireland, & Hit, 1990).…”
