Our study examines whether internal corporate governance (CG) mechanisms moderate the relationship between a firm's engagement in corporate environmental disclosure (CED) and earnings management (EM) practices in an emerging economy. Using a sample of 100 Jordanian listed firms from 2010 to 2014 (i.e., 500 firm-year observations), our findings reveal that while the relationship between CED and earnings manipulations is negative, the links between CG arrangements and EM are heterogeneous in that they might have either reduced or increased earnings manipulations in Jordan. Furthermore, some CG structures, such as board size, managerial, and institutional ownership structures have moderating effects on the CED-EM nexus. Our research highlights the significance of considering internal CG mechanisms to explain the link between CED and EM in the context of emerging economies. Our results help to explain and place into setting the earlier mixed results on the association between CED and earnings manipulations and most importantly add to the debate about whether CG structures detrimental to the CED-EM nexus. This study allows for a richer understanding of how managers respond to CED initiatives and CG reforms in relation to reducing earnings manipulations, which offers policymakers, board directors and managers, a set of context-specific recommendations related to the crucial need for more concerted efforts to ensure corporate sustainability in emerging economies.

企业环境披露与盈余管理——公司治理结构的调节作用

我们的研究探讨了新兴经济体中公司内部治理(CG)机制是否调节了公司参与公司环境披露(CED)与盈余管理(EM)实践之间的关系。使用 2010 年至 2014 年 100 家约旦上市公司的样本(即 500 家公司年度观察),我们的研究结果表明,虽然 CED 与盈利操纵之间的关系为负,但 CG 安排与 EM 之间的联系是异质的,因为它们可能约旦的盈利操纵行为要么减少,要么增加。此外,一些公司治理结构,例如董事会规模、管理层和机构所有权结构,对 CED-EM 关系具有调节作用。我们的研究强调了在新兴经济体背景下考虑内部企业治理机制来解释 CED 和新兴市场之间联系的重要性。我们的结果有助于解释和确定早期关于 CED 与盈利操纵之间关联的混合结果,最重要的是,增加了关于 CG 结构是否有害于 CED-EM 关系的争论。这项研究使人们能够更深入地了解管理者如何应对与减少盈利操纵相关的 CED 举措和企业管治改革,这为政策制定者、董事会董事和管理者提供了一系列针对具体情况的建议,这些建议涉及更加协调一致的努力的迫切需要确保新兴经济体的企业可持续发展。我们的结果有助于解释和确定早期关于 CED 与盈利操纵之间关联的混合结果,最重要的是,增加了关于 CG 结构是否有害于 CED-EM 关系的争论。这项研究使人们能够更深入地了解管理者如何应对与减少盈利操纵相关的 CED 举措和企业管治改革,这为政策制定者、董事会董事和管理者提供了一系列针对具体情况的建议,这些建议涉及更加协调一致的努力的迫切需要确保新兴经济体的企业可持续发展。我们的结果有助于解释和确定早期关于 CED 与盈利操纵之间关联的混合结果,最重要的是,增加了关于 CG 结构是否有害于 CED-EM 关系的争论。这项研究使人们能够更深入地了解管理者如何应对与减少盈利操纵相关的 CED 举措和企业管治改革,这为政策制定者、董事会董事和管理者提供了一系列针对具体情况的建议,这些建议涉及更加协调一致的努力的迫切需要确保新兴经济体的企业可持续发展。
