Abstract. This paper makes a research on the effect of pay gap in top management team on company performance under different promotion opportunities of managers by using panel data of Chinese A share listed firms during 2015-2019. The results show that when managers have less opportunities to be promoted, the pay gap in top management team is lager. But lager pay gap will not always improve performance.

Firms are required to consider all stakeholders’ interests and achieve coordinated development of the company, society, and the environment. Teachers are often associated with high moral standards and dedication to others. Top managers in the top management team (TMT) are responsible as corporate executives for corporate governance and outcomes. How top managers’ teaching experience affects corporate social responsibility (CSR) therefore becomes a meaningful question. Based on A-share listed firms in China from 2010 to 2019, we empirically analyze the effects of teachers as top managers on firm CSR performance. According to our sample, 13.75% of A-share listed firms have top managers with teaching experience in the TMT. We find that the occurrence of teachers in the TMT has a positive impact on CSR, especially on sub-indicators like shareholder responsibility; employee responsibility; supplier, customer, and consumer responsibility; and environmental responsibility. Firms with more teachers in the TMT exhibit higher CSR performance. Further results indicate that this effect is significant only when top managers are also directors on the board. We use the propensity score matching method to alleviate the endogeneity problem and obtain robust results.

Purpose This study aims to examine the effects of top management team (TMT) heterogeneity and corporate social responsibility (CSR) on the firm risk of Bursa Malaysia listed firms. Also, this study examines the moderating effect of CSR between TMT heterogeneity and firm risk. Design/methodology/approach This study uses panel regression models to test the hypotheses. The sample of this study is Bursa Malaysia non-financial listed firms from 2013 to 2017 with 3,055 observations. Findings This study finds significant effects of TMT age and tenure heterogeneities on total risk. Effects on idiosyncratic risk are evident only within age heterogeneity. Further, this study finds negative effects of CSR on total and idiosyncratic risks. CSR significantly moderates the relationship between total TMT heterogeneity and firm systematic risk. Practical implications This study reduces the literature gap by providing useful insights on the effects of CSR activities and TMT heterogeneity on firm risk. The findings can also provide hints to investors to assist them in assessing firm risk based on TMT heterogeneity and firms’ CSR. This study can also benefit shareholders in their attempts to mitigate the risk of their portfolio by investing in firms that are socially responsible as firms with high CSR suffer lower total and idiosyncratic risks. Originality/value Previous studies have emphasised on the influence of TMT characteristics and CSR on firm performance. However, studies that investigate the effects of TMT heterogeneity and CSR on firm risk are limited in the context of Malaysia.

Using Chinese listed firms' data from 2008 to 2012, we explored, on the basis of upper echelons theory, whether and how top management team (TMT) age heterogeneity affects corporate social responsibility (CSR) and if TMT interaction and TMT education moderate this relationship. Results revealed an inverted U-shaped relationship between TMT age heterogeneity and CSR, in which TMT interaction played a moderating role; however, TMT education did not moderate the relationship. These results are helpful and significant for the understanding of CSR strategy, and for the improvement of human resource management.

This study analyzes the influence of ownership structure and the board of directors on top management team (TMT) pay levels in a sample of Spanish listed firms. When panel data methodology is applied, the results show that TMT pay level is affected by the supervisory effectiveness of the board. This, in turn, is influenced by ownership concentration and the type of major shareholders. When ownership is dispersed, the board is more effective in their supervision and TMT pay level is lower. However, when ownership is concentrated, the quality of supervision and, consequently, TMT pay levels depend upon the type of shareholder that is predominant. Santrauka Analizuojama nuosavybes formos strukturos ir valdybos itaka aukšèiausio lygio Ispanijos kompaniju vadovu darbo užmokesèio dydžiui. Tyrimu duomenys parode, kad aukšèiausio lygio vadovu darbo užmokesèio dydis priklauso nuo valdybos kontroles ir jos efektyvumo itakos. Tai, žinoma, yra susijê su kompanijos savininko ir pagrindiniu akcininku pozicija. Kai savininko pozicija pasyvi, tuomet valdybos veiksmai kontroles srityje yra efektyvesni, taèiau aukšèiausio lygio vadovu darbo užmokesèio lygis yra gerokai mažesnis. Taèiau kai savininkas tiesiogiai dalyvauja kompanijos veikloje ir prisideda prie jos valdymo, tuomet kontroles kokybe ir aukšèiausio lygio vadovu darbo užmokesèio lygis priklauso nuo akcininko pozicijos.

We evaluate the firm-size elasticity of top management team (TMT) compensation with a sample of 80 firms listed in Saudi Arabian stock market. We find that the TMT compensation increases with firm size. The results are found to be robust when the total assets as the firm size measure is altered with other proxies, sales and market value of the firm. We show that the firm size and TMT compensation relationship is same as in the case of all firms sample when the firms are grouped into family firms and nonfamily firms. This finding is in line with the results of the previous studies that analyze the link between CEO compensation and firm size. We conclude that the large firms are willing to pay high compensation not just to their CEOs but also to the entire team at the top
