摘要:

本文立足中国情境,从委托代理理论和资源依赖理论的双重视角,实证研究了我国民营上市公司聘请高校独董对绩效的影响。研究发现,聘请高校独董能够为民营上市公司带来更高的绩效,而且是通过“行监坐守”和“将伯之助”两条路径实现的。进一步的研究显示,高校独董的知识水平和专业特长都对其发挥监督职能有显著影响,而且其咨询能力、无形的声誉资源和有形的社会资源都能促进民营上市公司绩效的提升。然而,本文的实证结果还显示,担任行政职务和兼职过多的高校独董,虽然为企业带来了声誉和资源,但是却未能充分实现“行监坐守”的职责。本文的贡献在于,对民营上市公司大量聘请高校独董这一现象进行了全面、深入的剖析,不仅拓展了现有有关独立董事的研究,而且为民营上市公司选聘高校独董提供了参考。

Abstract:

In this paper, by applying two separate theories, i.e. Agency Cost Theory and Resource Dependent Theory, we empirically test the influence of hiring academic independent directors (AIDs) on the performance of China's listed private-owned enterprises (POEs). Results show that hiring AIDs can significantly raise POEs' performance, and both "supervision" and "resource" are viable explanations. Further study shows that AIDs' knowledge and expertise have a significant effect on their "supervising" ability, and that their advisory ability, intangible reputational resources and tangible social resources can positively improve the performance of POEs. However, our empirical results also show that AIDs with too many part-time jobs or holding administrative positions can effectively supervise the behavior of the company though they do bring significant resources to the POE. The contributions of this paper are as follows:not only does our study shed light on the mechanism of hiring AIDs on POE performance, but we also provide reference for both POEs and the government on AIDs selection and independent director regulations.
