Abstract

The aim of this research study is to examine the influence of corporate directorship
on firm’s performance on listed firms of the Uganda Securities Exchange. For this
purpose, this study performed fixed and random effect econometric estimation
models and used the data for the time period from 2017 to 2021.
The study results indicate that between the two econometric estimation models,
Hausman specification test recommended the estimation of the random effects
model. According to the random effect model result corporate directorship
significantly affects the listed firm’s performance.
The study specifically focused on the influence of directors’ payment, proportion
of non-executive directors, board size, CEO age, and CEO tenure on firm
performance with the controlling variables of firm size and age.
The study explored the influence of the corporate directorship on firms’
performance on listed firms on the Uganda Securities Exchange and contributed to
the existing literature on investments in the Ugandan setting.
Overall, corporate directorship variables included in the model, improved the
performance of firms listed on USE by 11.2%. The study recommends that more
corporate directorship variables should be studied to generate generalizable results.
