Directors remuneration, firm performance and board committee relationship in Malaysia

Abstract

Researches on company directors' remuneration and its links with firms' performance have been carried out by a number of scholars. The issue has drawn wide attention as stakeholders are interested to find out whether directors received the right package of remuneration and whether it is always in line with the firm's performance. However more studies are needed to examine the relationship between directors' remuneration and firm performance with board committee characteristics. Thus, this study attempts to close this gap. This exploratory study, involving 20 top Malaysian government linked public listed companies and 20 top Malaysian non government linked public listed companies aim to examine these relationships. The result of this exploratory study indicates that.
