Abstract

This study analyzed the effect of manager's ability on compensation policy (compensation level and performance-reward sensitivity). To this end, the final 14,150 company-year data were used for KOSPI and KOSDAQ listed companies excluding the financial industry from 2012 to 2019. As a result of the empirical analysis, the higher the manager's ability, the higher the next reward level (the manager's ability hypothesis), but the performance-reward sensitivity decreased. This confirms the manager ability hypothesis through a positive (+) relationship between manager ability and compensation, and means that high compensation for manager ability may be additional compensation for manager ability other than performance, rather than due to performance. This study differs from previous studies and has contributions in that it examines the more complex effects of managerial ability and compensation system.

연구는 경영자 능력이 보상정책(보상수준 및 성과-보상 민감도)에 미치는 영향에 대해 분석하였다. 이를 위해 2012년부터 2019년까지 금융업을 제외한 코스피 및 코스닥 상장기업을 대상으로 최종 14,150 기업-연도 자료를 활용하였다. 실증분석 결과, 경영자 능력이 높을수록 차기 보상수준은 증가하지만(경영자 능력가설), 성과-보상 민감도는 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 경영자 능력과 보상 사이 양(+)의 관계를 통해 경영자 능력가설을 재확인하면서, 경영자 능력에 대한 높은 보상이 성과에 기인하기 보다는 성과 이외 경영자 능력에 대한 추가적인 보상일 수 있다는 점을 의미한다. 본 연구는 경영자 능력과 보상체계의 보다 복합적인 효과를 살펴보았다는 점에서 기존 연구와의 차별성 및 기여점을 가진다.
