這篇研究最主要的目的乃是從公司治理與企業績效之角度來探討造成高階主管異動的因素。蒐集2001到2004年間所有台灣上市公司之資料,將樣本分為高階主管異動與高階主管無異動兩群組,所謂高階主管異動群組乃指發生高階主管異動之前三年均無異動之情況,共計24家公司;而高階主管無異動群組乃指四年來均無異動之情況,共計117家公司。因為本研究之應變數為不連續質變數,並不適用一般的迴歸計量模型,故將使用Logistic迴歸函數。研究結果顯示,不論短期會計績效指標或長期市場績效指標,其經營績效降低時,高階主管異動的可能性增加。再者,從公司治理的觀點來看,高階主管持股比例、機構法人持股比例、高階主管任期與董監事持股質押比例等因素均對高階主管異動成顯著相關。
The main purpose of this study is to examine the relationships among corporate governance, corporate performance and CEO turnover using Logistic regression analysis. The data used in the study are obtained from the listed companies in Taiwan, covering the period between 2001 and 2004. The results strongly support corporate performance is found to have a significant negative correlation with CEO turnover. From the corporate governance perspective, CEO ownership, institutional ownership, CEO tenure, and ratio of mortgaged/pledged shares of directors and supervisors are found to have a significant correlation with CEO turnover.
