Responses were analyzed using PLS-SEM to assess the relationships between transformational leadership and firm performance.FindingsThe findings show that amongst Malaysian manufacturers, transformational leadership has a strong direct effect on firm performance.Practical implicationsThese findings provide useful insights for organizations, particularly in the Malaysian manufacturing sector, seeking to be competitive and responsive to environmental changes by successfully introducing EO.Originality/valueEO has been studied in detail in the recent literature. Many new researchers have explored various composition factors of EO, and how this will have an effect on firm performance. However, there are few research studies in the area of transformational leadership amongst Malaysian manufacturing companies. This research makes an important contribution to the existing literature by empirically examining the relationship between EO and firm performance, particularly in the Malaysian manufacturing sector. Conclusion emphasizes that mechanisms to encourage and foster EO mainly autonomy, competitive aggressiveness and proactiveness are likely to result in the achievement of superior firm performance.

This research aims to investigate whether firms with excess of free cash flow and low growth perspective are tend to engage in earnings management with several control variables included. We predict the relationship between each variable using multiple regressions model.  The data sample used is manufacturing companies listed in IDX from the year of 2012 to 201. The result of this research presents that there is no significant relationship between excess of free cash flow and earnings management. The reasons behind this result might be a difference in type of agency problem, in dividend policy, and in organization behavior widespread across the countries. However, we found a significant relationship between control variables to the dependent variable by means of discretionary accruals, which are firm size, IFRS implementation and audit quality towards earnings management. Keywords: Agency Problem, Earnings management, Excess Free Cash Flow, Dividend Payment.

This study is to investigate the relationship between financial characteristics and the cost of equity capital from sharia-based companies, which tend to be financially constrained. Using 276 observations, the results of this study indicate that financial constraints which are proxied by free cash flow have a role in influencing the cost of equity capital. This study also builds an indirect relationship of free cash flow and capital costs by proposing investment efficiency as a mediator variable. By using the causal step approach from Baron and Kenny, the test results show that investment efficiency mediates the effect of free cash flow on the cost of equity capital with an indirect effect that is stronger than the direct effect. This study also found evidence that leverage has no role in strengthening the effect of free cash flow on the cost of equity capital.
