- Abstract
Purpose: The aim of this study is to explore the effect of board characteristics towards financial performance in Malaysian context. Design/methodology/approach: Based on the sample of 45 active Malaysian listed companies in R&D for the period 2017 to 2019, this study employs linear regression to analyse the relationship between board characteristics and financial performance. Findings: The outcome of board characteristics towards the financial performance are significant. Research limitations/implications: This study does not represent the broad population of companies in Malaysia. This is because the population of this study is limited to only 45 active Malaysian listed companies in R&D. Hence, the findings from the study could not be generalised to other companies in Malaysia. Practical implications: This study contributes by highlighting the importance of corporate governance towards the financial performance of Malaysian listed companies that are actively involved in R&D. Originality/value: This study represents the first attempt to study the effect of board characteristics towards financial performance of active Malaysia listed companies in R&D.
