摘要
This study investigated the effects of relative decision monitoring, whereby decisions are compared to those of competitors, on chief executive officer [CEO] compensation. We tested for both cash compensation [salary plus bonus] and cash-plus-stock-option compensation. The study's premise was that, to the extent boards of directors consider behavioral information in the CEO evaluation process, performance should have a stronger influence on pay when CEO decisions differ from typical industry decisions. Thus, we compared critical strategic decisions of CEOs with the decisions of same-industry competitors. Results indicate that unique decision making significantly moderates the relationship between performance and compensation under some, but not all, conditions.
