摘要
This study investigates whether 'prestigious' multiple board membership is positively associated with firm performance. We employ Resource Dependency theory to explain why performance outcomes may be improved by the presence of 'prestigious' multiple directorships. Our analysis relies on extensive hand-collected data on New Zealand company directorships. The results support the contention that 'prestigious' multiple directorships are related to better accounting and market performance. Conclusions reflect upon how Resource Dependency theory informs this phenomenon and how 'prestigious' board members may be a valuable resource for firms. We also reveal how these findings expose a new avenue for board governance research.
