The main source of debts is state-owned banks for Chinese listed companies [82]. Therefore, this result supports our hypothesis 2, which proposed there is a negative relationship between dual leadership and firm performance. I declare that all data and materials are available. Hence, overconfident managers have better in accessing debt rather than rational managers in the context of China that leads creditors to allow to follow and influence the firm investments through collecting information about the firm and supervise the firms directly or indirectly. The achievement of corporate governance relies on the mechanism effectiveness of both internal and external governance structures. Some of the most important actions aimed at promoting these values include establishing codes of conduct, anti-bribery policies, effective reporting channels, regulation of conflicts of interest, and employee hiring and promotion systems. This is because the bias raised in the dynamic panel model could be small when time becomes large [75]. Int Rev 15(2):239250, Chou J, Lilian N, Valeriy S, Qinghai W (2010) Product Market Competition and Corporate Governance. This result is also supported by the suggestion that overconfident managers have better in accessing debt rather than rational managers in the context of China because in Chinese listed firms most of the senior CEOs have a better connection with the external finance institutions and state banks to access debt, due to their political participation than rational managers.

Webcorporate governance mechanisms in these countries have proved, in part, to be a major impediment to improving the competitiveness of firms. The researcher also used only non-financial listed firms because financial firms have special regulations. Hypothesis 3 is supported, which proposes there is a positive relationship between ownership concentration and firm performance. Studies [2, 50, 52, 56, 85], reported the supportive arguments that independent board of directors and firm performance have a positive relationship; in other ways, a large number of studies [6, 17, 6591], and findings indicated the independent director has a negative relation with firm performance. Asian Rev Account 26(1):6283, Liu Q, Tang J, Tian GG (2013) Does political capital create value in the IPO market? Previous studies claimed that overconfidence is a dysfunctional behavior of managers that deals with unfavorable consequences for the firm outcome, such as value distraction through unprofitable mergers and suboptimal investment behavior [61], and unlawful activities (Mishina et al. Mainly the responsibility of the board of directors is selection, evaluation, and removal of poorly performing CEO and top management, the determination of managerial incentives and monitoring, and assessment of firm performance [93]. This finding is consistent with studies ([86]; Pant et al., [69]; [77, 82]) that noted that debt financing has a negative effect on firm values. The role of CG mechanisms is affected by different factors. Following this direction, many listed firms had appointed more independent directors, with a view to increase the independence of the board [54]. In the case of firms operating in the competitive industry, overconfidence CEO has advantages, due to its too simple to motivate overconfident managerial behaviors due to being overconfident managers assume his/her selves better than others. Other companies may be more willing to work with a company that has a strong track record of operations. Managerial overconfidence negatively influences the impact of ownership concentration on firm performance. This result is consistent with several previous studies [56, 79], which confirms no relation between board independence and firm performance. Managers will over- or under-invest regarding their optimism level and the availability of internal cash flow.

An internal control mechanism ownership concentration believes in the existence of strong control against the managers decisions and choices. Oliver [68] argued the human character of individual managers affects the effectiveness of corporate governance. The negative relationship of independent board and firm performance results are based on the argument that external directors have no access to information about the internal business of the firms and their relation with internal management does not allow them to have a sufficient understanding of the firms day-to-day business activities or it may arise from the lack of knowledge of the business or the ability to monitor management actions [28].

It often represents the framework of policies and guidelines for each individual in the business. The BOD is also responsible for designing the management teams compensation structure and overseeing their performance. In the perspective of resource dependence theory, an independent director is often linked firm to outside environments, who are non-management members of the board. In particular, following the stock market crash in 1929, scholars began to argue for corporate governance mechanisms that would allow shareholders to keep companies in check.

Then, creditors refuse to provide debt finance when firms are facing high liquidity risks. They do not always form beliefs logically [73]. In another way, the weakness of independent board monitoring ability allows CEOs overconfident that may damage firm value.

Corporate governance is the domain of the Board of Directors, as opposed to its management team (such as the CEO and other C-suite executives). Three Types of Corporate Governance MechanismsInternal Mechanism. The foremost sets of controls for a corporation come from its internal mechanisms. External Mechanism. External control mechanisms are controlled by those outside an organization and serve the objectives of entities such as regulators, governments, trade unions and financial institutions.Independent Audit. Small Business Relevance. Irrational behavior of management resulting from behavioral biases of executive managers is a great challenge in corporate governance [44]. This paper investigates the relationship between (a) corporate social responsibility (CSR) and earnings management (EM) and (b) examines whether corporate governance (CG) mechanisms can moderate the CSREM relation. Board composition is one of the CG internal mechanisms that ensure that the presence of To analyze the proposed hypotheses, the study employed system Generalized Method of Moments estimation model. Therefore, the results of this study contribute to the theoretical perspective by providing an insight into the influencing role of managerial behavior in the relationship between CG practices and firm performance in an emerging markets economy. Managers are more focused on enhancing productivity that is more likely to reduce cost and increase firm performance. This finding is consistent with [38] finding that overconfident CEOs have lower debt, because of overestimating the investment projects. Low credit rating occurs when bankers believe firms are overestimating the investment projects. This finding supported by the notion indicates firms with long age have long history accumulate experience, and this may help them to incur better performance (Boone et al. Corporate governance is a system that guides the conduct of the people within an organization, as well as the direction of the organization itself. In other ways, overconfidence managers are irrational behaviors that tend to consider themselves better than others on different attributes. Bozec [10] studied market disciple as a moderator between the board of directors and firm performance. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10490-009-9135-6, Article The average value of the independent board of directors ratio was 0.374. This index measures the degree of concentration by industry. So, this fact affects the effectiveness of board activities in strategic decision-making. Mohammad Badrul Muttakin. Internal CG includes the controlling mechanism between various actors inside the firm: that is, the company management, its board, and shareholders. [57] reported high product market competition associated with poor firm performance measured by TQ in Chinese listed firms. The research employed nine consecutive years from 2010 to 2018 that met the condition that financial statements are available from the CSMAR database. Corporate Governance may be defined as a set of systems, processes and principles which ensure that a company is governed in the best interest of all stakeholders. It is the system by which companies are directed and controlled. It is about promoting corporate fairness, transparency and accountability. Corporate governance sets rules instead of processes that determine your key personnels actions and roles. They typically seek to improve management and reduce legal or ethical issues. Some examples of this are rules regarding personal use of business funds, what it means to serve on a Board of Directors, conflicts of interest, disbursement of profit, hiring of family members, and information partners, investors, and business owners of key decisions and meetings. Corporate In many respects, this makes the BOD beholden to shareholders. The foremost sets of controls for a corporation come from its internal mechanisms.

In an increasingly digital world (and economy), technological advancements have changed the landscape of virtually every business. The ownership concentration is positively related to firm performance. The debt financing proxy in this study is measured by the percentage of a total asset over the total debt of the firm following the past studies [69, 95]. The ratio of the independent board ranges from 0.33 to 0.57. It is also a useful estimation tool to tackle the endogeneity and fixed-effect problems [4]. As many studies revealed, well-managed corporate governance mechanisms play an important role in providing corporate performance. However, managerial overconfidence positively moderates the impact of debt financing on firm performance measured by Tobins Q and negative influence on debt financing and operational firm performance relationship. The fast growth of privatizations, the recent global financial crises, and financial institutions development have reinforced the improvement of corporate governance practices.

Specifically in China, the corporate governance regulation code was approved in 2001 and required that the board of all Chinese listed domestic companies must include at least one-third of independent directors on their board by June 2003. Therefore, the following hypothesis was proposed: Managerial overconfidence moderates the effect of product market competition on firm performance. Market-Based Corporate Governance System: A system relying on the investors of a firm to exert control over how the corporation is to be managed. Board of directors monitoring has been centrally important in corporate governance. Gillan [30] suggested that corporate governance can be divided into two: the internal and external mechanisms.

Consequences of Poor Corporate Governance. More Resources. This is in line with studies by Ehikioya ( 2009) and Ive found these goals can only come to fruition if the board of directors is effective. Supporting this concept, Keasey and Wright [43] indicated corporate governance as a framework for effective monitoring, regulation, and control of firms which permits alternative internal and external mechanisms for achieving the proposed companys objectives. This paper investigates the relationship between (a) corporate social responsibility (CSR) and earnings management (EM) and (b) examines whether corporate governance (CG) mechanisms can moderate the CSREM relation. Overconfidence is an overestimation of ones own abilities and outcomes related to ones own personal situation [74].

Similarly, Shleifer and Vishny [80] argue that large share blocks reduce managerial opportunism, resulting in lower agency conflicts between management and shareholders. Chin Manag Stud 13(2):299317, Shleifer A, Vishny R (1986) Large SHAREHOLDERS AND CORPORATE Control. Thus, the following hypothesis is proposed. As to the knowledge of the researcher, no study considered the influencing role of managerial overconfidence in between CG mechanisms and firm corporate performance. Firms must consider remote and hybrid working arrangements when planning to hire. Thus, managerial overconfidence could have a positive influence on relationships between debt finance and firm performance; thus, the following hypothesis is proposed: Managerial overconfidence moderates the relationship between debt financing and firm performance.
