Proposed framework on the impact of board meeting and compensation on firm performance in the Nigerian manufacturing sector: Moderating effect of CSR

Abstract

Previous studies have identified financial scandals around the globe and the subsequent collapse of the major corporate institutions in the developed countries which brought the need for the practice of good corporate governance. Specifically, past studies in Nigeria on corporate governance have concentrated on banks and give limited attention to manufacturing industries. However, the manufacturing sector should have been given more attention as it contributes more in creating investment capital at a significant rate more than any other sector of the Nigerian economy. It is in view of the foregoing that this paper proposed a framework to investigate the moderating effect of economic dimension of CSR on relationship between board meeting and board compensation on firm financial performance in manufacturing sector in Nigeria.
