Abstract

This study examined the impact of managerial ownership structure on firm performance of listed companies on Hochiminh City Stock Exchange. Firm performance was measured by return on equity (ROE) and Tobin's Q. In this study, the data of 332 companies listed on the Hochiminh City Stock Exchange with the System-GMM method was used. The results showed a cubic nonlinear impact between managerial ownership on firm performance, implying that the “convergence of interests” and “entrenchment” hypotheses of managers’ behavior can explain the cubic nonlinear relationship of managerial ownership on firm performance. In addition, base on results, this study also gave recommendations on managerial ownership structure to optimal firm performance and stakeholders’ interests.
