Newspapers from time to another time produce detailed accounts of corporate fraud, financial scandals, and other organizational failures. The common factor of such failures is the assumption that somehow corporate governance is to blame. We can assure that strategic oversight is crucial, but the manner in which a company board is expected to perform this function is still less clear and need more study. This is major confusion because it is not the board’s responsibility to develop the strategy it is the management’s responsibility. Consensus holds that the board is expected to scrutinize the strategy to make sure that it is appropriate for the company’s shareholders and stakeholders and accordingly to monitor the contribution of corporate activities to the strategic plan (Larcker & Barian, 2021).","PeriodicalId":244517,"journal":{"name":"Corporate Governance and Organizational Behavior Review","volume":"9 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131455768","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The overall objective of the study is to investigate the financial performance of commercial banks in emerging markets. The study tried to see the impact of governance, exchange rate volatility, trade openness, and internet access on the financial performance of commercial banks in Ethiopia during the years from 2014 to 2019. The study employed a random-effects model using balanced panel data. The result indicated that composite governance index, trade openness, and internet access have a positive and statistically significant effect on the financial performance of commercial banks as measured by their return on assets. However, the exchange rate volatility has a negative and statistically significant effect on the financial performance of commercial banks. On the other hand, the result of bank-specific variables considered in the study such as profit margin, asset utilization, net interest margin, overhead efficiency, and numbers of branches have a positive and statistically significant effect on the financial performance of commercial banks. Contrarily, the equity multiplier ratio has a negative and significant effect on the financial performance of commercial banks","PeriodicalId":244517,"journal":{"name":"Corporate Governance and Organizational Behavior Review","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125880208","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main purpose of the conference was to provide the platform at international level for academics to analyse recent trends and upcoming challenges in corporate governance and company performance, major challenges and new horizons in further research. Keynote speakers addressed valuable suggestions and examples of how researchers focused on the board of directors can learn from research approaches of behavioural scientists regarding individual and group behaviour. Scholars participated in the conference concluded that insights from various disciplines should be combined for performing more precise and accurate research on corporate boards. Moreover, scholars identified main challenges currently facing the boards, namely the exponential rise in the number of risks and the difficulties of developing relevant strategies. A relevant discussion was raised concerning as to whether discretionary accruals fit methodological needs of researchers focused on corporate governance and on the financial information disclosed. In the line with recent practices in corporate governance in Europe, scholars suggested that female directors were associated with fewer income-increasing discretionary accruals.","PeriodicalId":244517,"journal":{"name":"Corporate Governance and Organizational Behavior Review","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128916936","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Internal controls are designed to minimize risks, protect assets, ensure reliable financial reporting, increase performance, and facilitate compliance (Bashaija, 2022). This study is conducted to investigate the impact level of internal control on the performance of non-financial firms listed on the Vietnam Stock Exchange. Data were collected through a survey questionnaire with 506 survey questionnaires from listed non-financial firms. Quantitative research methods are applied to evaluate the impact of internal control on performance. The results show that internal control including five components has a significant impact on financial performance, and components of the control environment, risk assessment, control activities, and communications have direct positive effects on non-financial performance. Monitoring activities have no impact on non-financial metrics. Besides, the study also shows that non-financial indicators directly influence the financial indicators of listed non-financial firms. Based on the findings, some recommendations are proposed for enhancing the performance of non-financial listed firms.","PeriodicalId":244517,"journal":{"name":"Corporate Governance and Organizational Behavior Review","volume":"127 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115624467","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to measure the changes in entrepreneurial intention levels, two questionnaires (pretest-posttest group design) were used. Both questionnaires were completed by 202 business students, studying at a public university based in Athens, Greece. Our analysis indicates that the personality traits that affect entrepreneurial intention levels are openness, extraversion, and risk aversion. Using paired samples test we found an increase in entrepreneurial intention following the course attendance. Cluster analysis indicated that students with higher levels of extraversion, openness, conscientiousness, and lower levels of risk aversion and neuroticism demonstrated statistically significant and higher means change in entrepreneurial intention levels (at the end of the entrepreneurship program). The literature examining the personality traits of individuals who benefit most from entrepreneurship education has been developing in recent years. However, the studies that refer to this topic are scant (Burch, Murphy, & Tocher, 2019; Israr, 2017). The findings of this paper emphasize the need for further investigation of the results in different contexts in order to validate them.","PeriodicalId":244517,"journal":{"name":"Corporate Governance and Organizational Behavior Review","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115705931","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
