本文從薪酬誘因與董事會監督機制兩個公司治理構面,探討高階主管薪酬結
構與支配能力,對企業裁減研發支出之短視行為的影響。實證結果發現,在自利的
動機下,高階主管會利用裁減研發支出方式,提高當期盈餘以增加其薪酬。而提高
高階主管股票基礎薪酬比率,會降低裁減研發支出的可能性,且在股票基礎導向的
薪酬結構下,透過股票基礎薪酬比率降低企業裁減研發支出的可能性,會高於現金
基礎導向的薪酬結構。此外高階主管具支配能力,所受監督的程度較低,出現裁減
研發支出的可能性較高,但是提高股票基礎薪酬比率,所降低裁減研發支出可能性
的效果,反而會較大。
From two aspects of corporate governance: namely compensation incentive
and board monitoring mechanism, this paper aims to explore the impact of CEO
compensation structure and dominance on R&D expenditure reduction. Empirical results
indicate that myopic CEOs with their self-interest incentive tend to curtail R&D
expenditure so as to increase the current earnings and their compensation. If their
share-based compensation ratio increased, CEOs will be less likely to curtail R&D
expenditures, this likelihood being higher than in cash-based compensation structure. In
addition, the dominance power granted by CEOs with means they receive less
monitoring, hence the higher likelihood of curtaining R&D expenditure, this likelihood
becoming more prominent when the share-based compensation ratio is increased.
