Corporate Governance, Ethics Pro-organizational Behavior, Sustainable Firm PerformanceAbstract
This study examines the impact of corporate governance mechanisms on sustainable firm performance in China and Pakistan, using the Generalised Method of Moments (GMM) estimator. The study will use data from more than 300 firms listed on the Pakistan and China stock exchanges, covering the period 2011 to 2023, to reflect real phenomena. The findings reveal a stronger, more statistically robust relationship between governance and performance in China than in Pakistan. The results underscore the significance of institutional and cultural context in shaping the effectiveness of corporate governance practices. In China, CEO Duality and board independence separation are significant drivers of firm value and efficiency, while in Pakistan, the effects of governance variables are weaker and less consistent. Recommendations valued for Pakistan to enhance the implementation of governance codes and for China to maintain investors' trust continue to ensure the efficacy of governance and encourage corporate openness and regulatory compliance.
