Abstract:

This study, based on tournament theory arguments, has attempted to provide new evidences in this line of research, using a sample of 120 Spanish listed firms. Results, taking into account convex shape in the dispersion-performance relationships reported by Brown et al. (2003) and the characteristics of executive job -high hierarchy level, moderate interdependence, and high complexity-, indicate a positive, although moderated, relationships between executive pay dispersion and firm performance.
