Title: | CEO compensation in private family firms: pay-for-performance sensitivity and the moderating role of ownership and management conditions | Authors: | MICHIELS, Anneleen VANDEMAELE, Sigrid VOORDECKERS, Wim LYBAERT, Nadine |

Proceedings Rent XXIV -Research in Entrepreneurship and Small Business: vol. 24. p. 74-75. | Abstract: | Although classical agency theorists claim that pay-for -performance is not relevant in the context of private family firms, the authors provide empirical evidence of the opposite,, using a sample of 529 privately held U.S. family firms. The results suggest that objective performance-based measures play a significant role in CEO compensation. Additionally, the authors find that in private family firms CEO compensation is more responsive to firm performance in firms with low ownership dispersion and in the controlling-owner stage. Furthermore, the positive pay-for-performance relation is slightly stronger for nonfamily CEOs than for family CEOs. | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/11610 | Link to publication/dataset: | http://www.ecsb.org/eng/conferences/rent/rent_xxiv/ | Category: | C2 | Type: | Proceedings Paper |
