Publisher Description
This paper examines the relationship between the compensation of the top five executives at a set of over 400 publicly listed Canadian firms and various internal and external corporate governance-related factors. The media is full of stories suggesting a relationship between large executive compensation packages and failures in governance at various levels within organizations, but there exists little formal analysis of many of these relationships. Our analysis provides empirical evidence supporting some of these assertions, refuting others and documenting new relationships. We find that variances in internal governance related to differences across firms in the characteristics of the CEO, compensation committee and board of directors do influence both the level and composition of executive compensation, especially for the CEO. Considering external measures of corporate governance, we find that different types of shareholders and competitive environments impact executive compensation. We do not find that either the internal or external governance characteristics dominate.
This research uses multiple regression analysis to investigate whether the level of executive compensation in small, medium, and large human service nonprofits affects donor giving, exploring both implications for nonprofit governance and the possibility that nonprofits use executive compensation as a signal to donors of the organization's mission focus. When giving to nonprofit organizations, donors often have no clear way of knowing if their contributions will be used as intended. Donors must therefore either trust the organizations to which they contribute or look for signals of organizations' intent and integrity. Nonprofit organizations may use executive compensation as a signal of dedication to mission, as excessive executive compensation in nonprofits is an area of concern to donors as well as regulators. Findings of this study suggest that while executive compensation levels do not affect donor decision-making in small organizations, executive pay levels do impact donor giving in large organizations and, to some extent, in medium-sized organizations. In both medium and large human service nonprofits, study results suggest that sophisticated donors pay more attention to relative scaled executive compensation: when executive compensation as a percentage of total expenses is higher than average, sophisticated donors contribute less. On the other hand, unsophisticated donors appear to pay more attention to total executive compensation: as executive compensation increases, unsophisticated donors contribute more. These findings imply that executive compensation is not an effective signaling or governance tool in small organizations but that it may be used as a donor monitoring device in medium and large organizations. To the extent that donors to large and medium-sized human service organizations see executive compensation as a signal, evidence suggests sophisticated donors view compensation as signaling dedication to mission, while unsophisticated donors view executive compensation as a signal of leadership competence.
