Environment Uncertainty,Female Directors and Executive Internal Pay Gap

高管内部薪酬差距一直是公司治理领域的热点问题。本文基于委托代理和同性社交繁殖理论实证分析了女性董事对高管内部薪酬差距的治理作用。研究发现,女性董事对高管内部薪酬差距以及高管性别薪酬差距存在显著抑制作用;相较于国有企业,女性董事对高管内部薪酬差距和高管性别薪酬差距的抑制作用在非国有企业中更显著;环境不确定性越大,女性董事对高管内部薪酬差距和高管性别薪酬差距的抑制作用越显著;进一步考虑企业性质和环境的叠加影响,伴随环境不确定性的增大,女性董事对高管内部薪酬差距和高管性别薪酬差距的抑制作用在非国有企业中更显著。研究结论有助于从薪酬治理的视角深化对女性董事参与公司治理效果的认知,尤其为应对环境不确定性的公司治理挑战提供了实践指导。
