Abstract

This study investigates the effects of board effort and trust on board performance. Information acquisition and meeting behavior are used as proxies for board effort; cognitive conflict and trust are used to represent the degree of alignment between board and management. Based on a questionnaire survey of small and medium sized Chinese companies, we hypothesize and find that information acquisition and trust have a positive and significant impact on board's role performance; meeting preparation positively affects the strategic role, whereas meeting frequency has a positive effect on monitoring role of the board. The study provides meaningful insights for improving board effectiveness.
