Abstract

The implementation of good corporate governance (GCG) within a firm dictates its organizational behavior driven down by the board functionality effectiveness, among which the existence and role of an independent board member are taken into account. This study examines the effect of the existence and role of independent board members in Indonesia listed firm on the board’s functionality effectiveness, and subsequently, its impact on the value of the firm. Since Indonesia adopts a two-board system instead of a one-board system, the independent board member is known as an independent commissioner (IC) who sits on the company board of commissioners (BOC) which is equivalent to the company board of directors (BOD) in the one-board system. It is found through regression analysis that when an IC holds a powerful leadership position, it enhances the BOC’s functionality effectiveness. Likewise, if the IC has the position as the chair of BOC’s sub-committee in the company. The regression analysis was conducted in two periods, before the establishment of the Financial Services Authority (FSA) and after.
