Managerial turnover and performance in outside boards: Ownership makes the difference

We examine the relationship between CEO, board and Chairman turnovers and future performance in banks with fully outside boards. Using a rich dataset on executive turnovers from Costa Rica, we find that ownership moderates the effect that control mechanisms have on performance. Our results indicate...

Este trabajo examina la relación entre el reemplazo de altos cargos directivos y gerenciales--CEO y miembros de la junta directiva--y el desempeño en bancos con juntas de administración totalmente externas. A partir de una amplia base de datos sobre cambios de ejecutivos y directivos en bancos de Costa Rica, encontramos que la estructura de propiedad modera el efecto entre mecanismos de control y el rendimiento económico de los bancos. Los resultados indican que los cambios de ejecutivos seguidos del nombramiento de ejecutivos externos (CEO y Presidente de la junta directiva) tienen un impacto positivo en el desempeño. Por el contrario, grandes cambios proporcionales en la junta directiva crean costos organizacionales que afectan negativamente el desempeño. Estos resultados son significativos principalmente entre los bancos privados (governados por accionistas), donde es más probable que los gerentes y propietarios estén alineados. Finalmente, estos resultados subrayan la importancia de examinar la efectividad de los mecanismos de gobierno corporativo en las economías emergentes. Información más detallada sobre la estructura de propiedad, el marco regulatorio así como de los reemplazos de ejecutivos pueden hacer la diferencia al evaluar la efectividad de los mecanismos de gobierno corporativo. 2019-11-04 2021-06-08T22:04:11Z 2021-06-08T22:04:11Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://revistas.tec.ac.cr/index.php/tec_empresarial/article/view/4471 10.18845/te.v13i3.4471 http://hdl.handle.net/2238/12794 eng https://revistas.tec.ac.cr/index.php/tec_empresarial/article/view/4471/4573 Derechos de autor 2019 TEC Empresarial application/pdf Escuela de Administración de Empresas.
