摘要: 董事联结作为一种非正式的制度安排,是企业获取异质性信息和稀缺资源的重要渠道。本文基于社会网络关系视角,构建了公司层面的董事网络中心度,考察董事联结对管理层权力与高管薪酬粘性的作用机理。研究结果表明,管理层权力越大,高管薪酬粘性越强;董事网络中心度弱化了二者之间的关系,具有显著的负向调节效应。进一步区分联结强度后发现,内外部董事联结关系的强弱会对治理效应产生差异化影响,需要警惕内部董事的强联结关系存在正向调节效应而加剧高管薪酬粘性。以上发现意味着,网络位置与联结强度是影响董事联结治理效果的两大关键要素,董事联结的网络位置对管理层权力及薪酬粘性会产生重要的治理机制,但其作用的发挥同时需要依赖于内外部董事联结关系的强弱。

Abstract: As the informal institutional arrangement, the board interlocks is an important channel to obtain heterogeneous information and scarce resources for enterprises. Based on the perspective of social network relations, this paper constructs the board network centrality at the company level, and investigates the mechanism of board interlocks on managerial power and stickiness of executive compensation. The results show that there is positive correlation between managerial power and stickiness of executive compensation, and the board network centrality has a significantly negative regulation effect weakening the relation between them. After distinguishing the interlocks strength, further research finds that the internal and external board interlocks relations have differentiated impact on the governance effect, and stronger interlocks relations from internal directors need to be vigilant, which the positive regulation effect would increase stickiness of executive compensation. The above findings mean that network location and interlocks strength are the two key factors influencing the governance effect of board interlocks, and the network location will have an important governance mechanism for managerial power and compensation stickiness, but its role depends on the strength of internal and external board interlocks relations.
