Taking a balanced panel data consisting of 4365 firm-year observations drawn from the listed state-owned enterprises in Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchange over 2007-2015 as the research sample, the paper examines the effect of the employees’ pay-performance sensitivity (PPS) on the future firm performance from the two competing perspectives of “incentive effect” and “risk-aversion effect”, adopting the method of multiple regression analysis based on OLS and applying the SPSS23 as the data processing tool. Theoretical analysis and empirical results demonstrate that there is a positive link between the employees’ PPS and the future firm performance. To improve the employees’ PPS can stimulate the engagement of the employees, improve their working quality, enrich their workplace innovative behavior, and further lead to higher future firm performance. Meanwhile, the positive effect of the employees’ PPS on the future firm performance is, on average, lower than that of the top executives’ PPS on the future firm performance. Implications of the findings are provided in the end.

This study aims at filling existing research by examining the effect of board composition specially board diversity on firm performance using cross-sectional data from London Stock Exchange (FTSE 350) of non-financial companies with a total observations 3961 companies for the years 2000–2016. To the best of our knowledge, the contribution of this paper is to examine the effect of board diversity (age, gender, education, and nationality) of FTSE 100 and FTSE 250 on firm performance. Our results indicate that age diversity has a negative effect on firm performance, which means that young board members enhance and increase firm performance. Furthermore, education diversity has a negative effect on firm performance. On the other hand, gender diversity has positive effect on firm performance, so if companies increase the number of females in the board of directors, firm performance will increase. Ultimately, our result reveals that nationality diversity has a positive effect on firm performance.

This paper studies the impacts of incentive compensation to top five executives on employee wages. We employ pay-performance sensitivity to measure executive incentive compensation. Using the sample during 1992 – 2017, we find that executive compensation has negative impacts on employee wages. In addition, we examine the impacts of executive incentive compensation on employee wages in different industries and find that the impacts are more severe in technology firms than in non-technology firms. Finally, we show that the executives with higher incentive compensation are more likely to suppress employee wages in financially safe firms. Our results suggest that while top management teams are compensated as a team on average, they are compensated as isolated individuals on other aspects. Furthermore, firm performance may not always improve in the long run by granting high incentive compensation to top executives.
