Abstract
Corporate governance is a critical determinant of shareholder value, influencing the effectiveness of management, transparency, and overall corporate performance. This article presents a meta-analysis of existing research on the relationship between corporate governance practices and shareholder value, synthesizing findings from a wide range of studies across different industries and geographical regions. The meta-analysis aims to identify the key governance mechanisms that consistently contribute to enhanced shareholder value, such as board structure, executive compensation, ownership concentration, and regulatory compliance. By analyzing these factors, the study provides a comprehensive overview of how corporate governance frameworks can drive firm performance and protect shareholder interests. The findings highlight that robust corporate governance practices are strongly associated with higher shareholder returns, reduced agency costs, and improved market confidence. Additionally, the study examines the contextual factors, such as legal environments and market maturity, that may influence the effectiveness of governance mechanisms. The article concludes by discussing the implications for policymakers, investors, and corporate leaders, emphasizing the importance of tailoring governance practices to the specific needs and challenges of individual firms. The meta-analysis underscores the value of strong governance structures in achieving sustainable long-term growth and maximizing shareholder value.
