Abstract
The aim of this paper is to empirically test the impact of internal governance mechanisms on the financial and stock market performance of Moroccan listed companies. Board of directors’ characteristics such as independence and transparency, concentration, and presence of employees in the ownership structure, as well as some cognitive aspects of governance, represent the basis for discussion. Secondary data of a sample of 44 listed companies in the Casablanca Stock Exchange was analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results of this empirical study revealed that the financial and stock market performance of the companies that are captured by the return on equity (ROE) and the market to book ratio (M to B) significantly correlate with the adoption of the hybrid corporate governance approach. The relevance of this study is to enrich researches that deal with corporate governance and its impact on business performance in the context of Moroccan listed companies.
