本文探討企業董事會中內外部董監事席次比例對公司經營績效(EPS)及董監事薪酬之影響,研究期間為 2005至2011年,研究對象為國內37家上市通信網路產業之公司,資料來源為TEJ(台灣經濟新報資料庫),資料型態為balanced Panel Data,經Hausman Test檢定後,選定固定效果模型,並以EViews 6.0軟體分析。本文將董事會區分為內部董事(如經理人兼任董監事與控制股東董監事)席次,與外部董監事(如獨立董監事與外資法人董監事)席次,分別探討其對公司經營績效及董監事薪酬的影響。實證結果顯示,在董事會中外部的外資法人董監事席次比例較高時,即可有效監督並代理股東們行使權益,進而保障股東們的利益而提升公司的經營績效。同時實證亦顯示外資法人董監事能透過優渥的薪酬制度,促進管理階層改善經營效率。在通信網路產業中,公司規模越大,越能產生規模經濟,公司績效也比較好,同時董監事薪酬也越高,然而董事會規模越大,則會造成經營效率不彰。本文欲透過本研究之實證結果,建議公司應努力的方向及內部改善的要點,例如適當提高外資法人董監事席次比例,改善董事會決策品質,可為通信網路公司提高經營績效。
