By integrating the stakeholder-agency perspective with prospect theory, this study provides a new explanation of such dysfunction by introducing an embedded agent concept that manifests in a “schizophrenic” status of agents who need to satisfy multiple stakeholders and their conflicting interests. Drawing on a sample of small-to-medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) listed on the Chinese National Equities and Exchange and Quotations system from 2014 to 2017, it is shown that having a board secretary did not help reduce financial misconduct as the government expected, due to an embedded agent problem. However, their dysfunctional status would largely disappear, and they would perform their monitoring responsibilities if given higher equity shares and stricter subnational regulations, two key contingencies that better align embedded agents’ interests with one group of stakeholders. Overall, this study contributes to the corporate governance literature by introducing the embedded agent concept and its theoretical boundaries, along with a focus on transition economies.</p>","PeriodicalId":501001,"journal":{"name":"The British Accounting Review","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139420151","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}
