Abstract
This study uses Taiwan stock market-listed company data to analyze relationships between managerial compensation, corporate risk, and operating efficiency. This study focuses on three aspects. First, we examined how different types of corporate risk can relate differently to top manager salaries. Second, we investigated whether management efficiency is associated with managerial compensation in Taiwan. Last, we explored how firm size moderates the relationships between top-manager salaries, corporate risk, and operating efficiency. Our findings reveal that credit risk is remarkably different from other risks related to managerial compensation. Moreover, the moderating effect of firm size varies across various factors. Furthermore, most estimated results supported all our hypotheses. We provided subsequent explanations for the outcomes. The particular phenomenon found in this study also gave implications for the contract design of managerial compensation.
