Abstract

This study explores the impact of busy directors on the stock price crash risk if an individual holds three or more board positions. Since Indonesia has adopted a two-tier system, directors refer to Commissioners. Most of the literature suggests that the main risk factor for stock price crashes arises from the tendency of management to withhold adverse news from investors regarding compensation contracts and career issues. This research aims to verify whether busy directors help to limit managerial opportunistic behavior. Results show that multiple positions bring no effect on the stock price crashes risk due to cross over interaction which negated the substantial effect on the risk of stock price crashes. As a country with high family ownership concentration, the results illustrate that family firms in Indonesia will strengthen the influence of Commissioners who hold multiple positions in reducing stock price crashes risk. This investigation uses a sample of companies listed in the Indonesia Stock Exchange over the period between 2014 and 2019. The generalized method of moment (GMM estimator) is used as a research method to reduce endogeneity problems.DOI: https://doi.org/10.26905/jkdp.v25i1.4909

Abstract

This study analyzes the relationship between the political connection and multiple directorships of aviation companies’ board members and their firm performance. This research will focus on companies in the aviation sector on a broader subsector than previous studies. It will help the shareholder of the aviation companies determine board structure policies and evaluate the implementations conducted so far. This research uses descriptive statistics and regression analysis for the panel data model. Moreover, this study uses a purposive sampling technique secondary data from the aviation company’s annual reports in the Asia continent for the 2016-2020 period. The results show that the multiple directorships negatively affect firm performance in aviation companies while the board’s political connections positively affect firm performance, measured by its Return on Equity (ROE). In contrast, the multiple directorships and political connections do not impact aviation companies' firm performance measured by their Return on Assets (ROA). Overall, this study in the Asia continent asserts the previous study where the political connection positively affects the airline’s firm performance in the US. The result can support the corporate governance practice of deciding board structure in the aviation sectors in Asia in terms of political connection and multiple directorships.DOI: 10.26905/jkdp.v25i3.5892

Abstract

This study investigates the existence of a dynamic capital structure, the speed of adjustment towards the optimal capital structure, and the influence of control rights and family ownership on the capital structure of Indonesian listed manufacturing firms. Utilizing the difference Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) estimator and the partial adjustment model on a sample of 60 Indonesian firms from 2014 to 2022, this research provides new insights specific to the Indonesian market. The results confirm the existence of dynamic capital structure and indicate that it takes approximately 1.92 years for manufacturing firms in Indonesia to achieve their target leverage. The results of this study are also consistent with the pecking order theory and the market timing theory. Notably, Controlling Shareholder’s Interest is found to have a positive relationship with leverage. The presence of Family Ownership, however, weakens the relationship between Controlling Shareholders’ Interest and Leverage.

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between ESG performance, busy directors, and corporate dividend policies, moderated by cash flow rights and control rights. Using panel data regression analysis, the research focuses on non-financial firms listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2017 to 2022. As Indonesia's capital market grows, companies face pressure to create stakeholder value while remaining competitive. Investors push firms to balance ESG investments with shareholder rewards. The presence of busy directors, serving on multiple boards, raises questions about their impact on dividend policies. Given Indonesia's concentrated market, this study introduces ownership concentration as a moderating factor, addressing a gap in the literature. The results show that ESG performance and busy directors positively impact dividend policies. Firms with strong ESG practices maintain consistent dividend payments, reflecting their commitment to stakeholders and shareholders. Busy directors improve dividend policies, aligning with the perception of high-caliber boards reducing agency costs. Cash flow rights moderate the impact of ESG performance on dividend policies, while control rights weaken this influence. However, neither variable significantly affects the relationship between busy directors and dividend policies. This research provides insights into the interplay between ESG practices, director commitments, and dividend policies in Indonesia's dynamic business environment.

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of board gender diversity (BGD) on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) performance in publicly listed Indonesian companies from 2017 to 2023. Growing global climate concerns and the increasing non-financial evaluation of companies necessitate an understanding of factors driving ESG performance. This research addresses whether BGD positively impacts ESG performance and if family relationships moderate this effect in Indonesian firms. Employing the System Generalized Method of Moments (System GMM) on panel data, the research addresses potential endogeneity, autocorrelation, and heteroskedasticity, acknowledging that past ESG performance influences current performance. The findings reveal a significant positive impact of overall BGD on aggregate ESG scores. However, BGD's effect on Environmental and Social performance is not statistically significant, while it significantly enhances Governance performance. The study also finds that family relationships do not significantly moderate the relationship between BGD and ESG performance. This suggests that BGD's positive influence on sustainability is consistent across family and non-family firms. The research underscores BGD's importance in corporate sustainability, but highlights nuanced internal company conditions and ownership structures that may affect the realization of women's independent contributions in strategic decision-making.

Abstract

This study, titled “The Relationship Between the Ratio of Independent Commissioners and ESG Performance in Indonesia,” examines the potential bidirectional causal relationship between board independence and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) performance among companies in Indonesia. Employing a quantitative approach, the study applies statistical analysis to test the influence of independent commissioners on ESG performance and vice versa. The research controls for variables such as firm size, ownership structure, and IPO year to isolate the effect of board independence on ESG outcomes. Preliminary results indicate that companies with a higher ratio of independent commissioners tend to demonstrate stronger ESG performance. Conversely, companies with better ESG ratings are more likely to attract or retain more independent board structures. This bidirectional causality highlights the importance of strong corporate governance in promoting sustainable business practices. These findings offer practical recommendations for companies and regulators to enhance ESG transparency and accountability through improved board governance structures. Overall, this study underscores the symbiotic relationship between board independence and ESG performance, suggesting that enhanced governance can lead to better sustainability outcomes and vice versa.

Abstract

This study investigates stock market reaction in leisure industries to the first Government announce- ment of the COVID-19 outbreak in Indonesia on March 2, 2020. This study used event study meth- odology and was supported by multiple linear regression to analyze the relationship between market reaction and independent variables. The analysis was further modeled using Fama French three-fac- tor models to estimate the expected return on firms due to the first COVID-19 outbreak announce- ment. Based on our calculation of Cumulative abnormal returns, the stock of tourism industries has more negative reaction towards a confirmed first case of COVID-19 compared to other industries. We also find that Indonesian firms with greater cash reserves experienced less negative stock returns while firms with higher leverage ratios were penalized more. Additionally, this paper does not find that firms with Chief Executive Officers (CEO) who were exposed to significant health risks from COVID-19 experienced worse stock market performances.
