Abstract :
Recent corporate scandals and involvement of senior management in fraudulent activities have raised serious concerns over the way organizations are managed and the role of management. The aim of research was to analyze the relative influence of ownership pattern and board structure on potential organizational bankruptcy. Secondary data related to bankruptcy of organization, CEO’s compensation, CEO’s shareholding, CEO/Chairman duality and presence of institutional stakeholders was extracted from annual reports of Pakistani companies. Multiple regression analysis was used to achieve research objectives. Findings revealed that CEO’s duality, CEO’s shareholding, CEO’s compensation, and institutional block holdings had significant impact on potential bankruptcy of selected enterprises. Our results implied that if CEO’s compensation is linked to organizational performance/chances of bankruptcy, then CEO will put efforts to improve organizational performance and to reduce the likelihood of insolvency of the enterprise. Also, institutional shareholders exercise high care while investing in a company and once they invest in an enterprise, they track the performance of the organization, which avoid situations leading to organizational bankruptcies. It is recommended that organizations should develop performance management measures, separate CEO and Chairman’s position, link CEO’s compensation with organizational performance, award shares to directors of the company and remove barriers from institutional shareholding.
