dc.description.abstractResearch on corporate governance has garnered increased scholarly and practitioner interest since 2000, driven by rising stakeholder pressures regarding the role and objectives of firms. While traditional economic literature emphasizes the central role of financial performance, new societal paradigms are prompting organizations to prioritize non-financial performance, including environmental and societal dimensions. Despite prior research exploring the role of corporate governance in driving organizational non-financial performance, there have been inconclusive and contradictory empirical findings. This lack of consensus has spurred a growing call to employ robust, sophisticated methods to enhance our understanding of this phenomenon. This thesis responds to the recent call to develop robust empirical analyses by incorporating novel theoretical developments and employing advanced econometric methods. The thesis aims to evaluate the effect of corporate governance on non-financial organizational performance through three research papers. The first paper (Chapter 2) delves into the literature from 1990 to 2022, shedding light on prevailing intellectual trends and debates in this research field. The second paper (Chapter 3) unveils a dynamic social mechanism that shapes and constrains corporate governance mechanisms, influencing non-financial performance. The third paper (Chapter 4) untangles the complementarities of various internal corporate governance mechanisms and their effect on non-financial performance. This thesis provides novel theoretical and methodological approaches to explore this complex phenomenon, offering practical and policy implications
