Abstract

As an important institutional arrangement in corporate governance, the independent director system is widely practiced worldwide. The research on the governance of independent directors has been one of the hotspots in the academic world, and scholars have carried out in-depth studies on the independence, reputation, information characteristics, social network, geographic location, and human resource characteristics of independent directors. The findings of this paper show that female independent directors perform their monitoring duties effectively and age has an impact on this monitoring; the number of part-time jobs held by independent directors has an impact on firm performance. Helping company management to better select independent directors with different backgrounds has a better positive effect on the firm.
