Abstract

The dissertation is of great significance since China's information technology industry has made contributions to China's overall economic growth. However, unreasonable CEO compensation have always existed and few studies in Chinese literature focus on the information technology industry. In addition, scholars pay more attention to the link between corporate performance and CEO compensation. Therefore, this dissertation intends to evaluate the impact of corporate governance on executive compensation in information technology.

Researchers and special interest groups have conflicting conclusions on the correlation between corporate governance and CEO compensation. In order to study this relationship, this dissertation studies 831 data from 422 listed companies in the information technology industry in China from 2017 to 2018, and uses analytical tools Excel and stata to analyze and combined the empirical results with China’s national conditions.

The results find that the independence of the board, the compensation committee, and the board size have no affect on executive compensation, and CEO duality and board age are positively correlated with CEO compensation. Although some findings contradict the hypothesis, they provide a valuable insight on the link between executive remuneration and corporate governance in China's information technology industry.
