Topic:

Directors’ Dissent and Performance Turnaround of Declining Firms: A Managerial Stress Perspective

Time&Date: 

10:30 am - 12:00 pm, November 14, 2024 (Thursday)

Venue

Room 619, Teaching A Building

Speaker:

Prof. Jinyu HE (Hong Kong University of Science & Technology (Guangzhou))

Abstract:

Do directors’ dissenting votes increase or increase a declining firm’s chance of performance turnaround? We propose a negative effect of director dissent on firm performance turnaround because such dissent burdens managers with excess stress. Furthermore, this effect of director dissent would be strengthened by dissenting directors’ power but weakened by managers’ past experience with organizational declines. Analyzing data on Chinese listed firms, we find support for our predictions. In addition, a complementary analysis corroborates the mediating role of managerial stress on the main relationship.
