| Abstract: | The impact between executive compensation and firm performance has been widely studied around the globe for decades. However, there still is ambiguity among results. Different studies show no effect, negative effects and positive effects as well. This study examined the relationship between executive compensation and firm performance. The sample which is used in this study consist of Dutch listed firms on the Amsterdam Euronext over the period 2012 – 2018. The results of the ordinary least squares (OLS) regression analyses show that the effect of executive compensation on firm performance is positive and statistically significant. Most cases the results remain robust. The effect of market – based and accounting based firm performance on executive compensation on firm performance is positive. To add, results show that the number of employees, firm age and leverage are related with executive compensation and firm financial performance. Keywords: executive compensation, firm financial performance, listed firms, The Netherlands, Amsterdam Euronext. |
