Impact of country-level corporate governance on entrepreneurial conditions

Abstract

The present study examines the effect of country-level corporate governance (CLCG) and Directors' Liability (DL) on Entrepreneurial Framework Conditions (EFCs) across 52 countries from 2014 up to 2017 using balanced panel data and Panel Correction Standard Error estimation. The results revealed that the CLCG has a significant impact across EFCs dimensions. Further, the results declared that the impact of DL is significant and positive in countries that have a high score of DL, but this impact is statistically negative in countries that have a low score of DL. The findings have momentous implications for entrepreneurs, policymakers, regulators, international organizations, and academicians. The study makes novel contributions to the strand literature underpinning countrylevel governance and the role of directors' liability with EFCs. It brings a useful insight into a previously undocumented area of research highlighting the importance of CLCG dimensions and DL as important factors and determinants for better entrepreneurial conditions.

Impact of corporate governance mechanism on IFRS adoption: A comparative study of Saudi Arabia, Oman, and the United Arab Emirates

“…Further, it is found that greater board independence is associated with more comprehensive statutory and greater disclosure (e.g., Nelson et al., 2010 ; Chen and Jaggi, 2000 ; Owusu-Ansah and Yeoh, 2005 ; Chen and Jaggi, 2000 ; Juhman 2017 ). Different studies also advocate that there is a positive relationship between board independence and different aspects of financial reporting (e.g., Hashed and Almaqtari, 2020 ; Almaqtari & Hashed et al., 2020 ; Farhan et al., 2020 ; Almaqtari & Shamim et al., 2020 ; Almaqtari & Al-Hattami et al., 2020 ; Al Maqtari et al, 2020 ; Farhan et al., 2020 ). Furthermore, Bradbury et al.…”

“…Moreover, this study examines corporate governance in its moderating role in helping businesses to overcome the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. This adds a novel point to this study because current literature shows that corporate governance was widely explored in different settings (Kabwe et al , 2021; Rehman and Hashim, 2021, 2020; Aslam and Haron, 2021; Süsi and Jaakson, 2020; Adedeji et al , 2020; Shahar et al , 2020; Al Maqtari et al , 2020; Sadiq et al , 2020; Usman, 2020; Wang et al , 2019), although very few studies have explored it in a moderating role as can be seen in the present research. Furthermore, this study focusses on corporate governance principles (CGP) towards a sustainable and competitive advantage, while most current studies mainly study corporate governance mechanisms and characteristics, such as board components and ownership structure.…”
