Abstract

This study attempts to examine the relationship between the CEO characteristics and the corporate performance of the Malaysian companies. These CEO characteristics are supported by the upper echelons theory and accountability theory. The findings reveal that the concentration of power in a single hand and the CEO with vast experiences are unable to provide gratification on the firm performance. However, CEO gender, ethnicity and tenure are positively linked to the economic performance. Ways forward and limitation have been further discussed.
