Abstract: | This study investigates the effect of relative CEO underpayment on reductions in R&D spending, the differences in this relationship between companies in high R&D intensive and low R&D intensive industries and the moderating impact of ownership structure on the CEO underpayment and the R&D spending relationship. Findings propose that relative CEO underpayment is connected with reductions in R&D spending in low R&D intensive industries and increases in R&D spending in high R&D intensive industries. Also, greater relative CEO underpayment results in greater reductions in R&D spending in manager-controlled organizations compared with owner-controlled organizations. |
