Abstract
Executive compensation is a phenomenon of enduring importance for organizations and management research. This dissertation is shaped by two observations: 1) research has generally studied the determinants of CEO compensation in isolation and does not illuminate how these factors interplay and jointly impact CEO compensation, and 2) most studies have investigated executive pay in the context of U.S. firms, with fewer studies examining executive compensation in developing countries. To address these two issues, this dissertation consists of two studies investigating CEO compensation in the U.S. (Study 1) and China (Study 2), respectively. Specifically, building on previous theory and research, each study explores how CEO, board, ownership, and firm characteristics shape CEO compensation. This dissertation contributes to theory and research on the determinants of CEO compensation by advancing a configurational approach to study the determinants of CEO compensation in the U.S. and China.
