Many previous Chief executive officer (CEO) compensation researches have grounded on agency theory examining the effects of CEO structural and ownership powers; nonetheless little from resource dependence perspective has studied the effects of CEO prestige and expert power. Using 440 samples of Taiwanese listed companies and employing Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression model, the study adopted agency and resource dependence perspectives to examine the effects of CEO prestige, expert, structural, and ownership power on the compensations. We found that the CEO compensation is positively related to CEO prestige, expert and structural power. In addition, the positive relation between CEO ownership and CEO compensation become weaker when CEO is family-member.
