The sample includes 1,829<br>observations from 262 Fortune 500 companies over multiple years. Findings indicate<br>that board gender diversity and corporate social performance interact to predict CEO<br>compensation. The data show that boards comprised of a higher percentage of women<br>place increasing emphasis on certain kinds of corporate social performance when<br>setting CEO pay, and decreasing emphasis on other types of social performance. Our<br>findings highlight the complex interrelationships between executive compensation,<br>board composition, and corporate social performance.</p> ER -
