Abstract
The major objective of this study is to specifically investigate the effect of CEOs’ androgenic on the business unit's performance, and explore the moderating role of the corporate governance in this regard. Androgenic characteristic was used as the independent variable and was measured with testosterone hormone index. Photos of the CEOs were obtained via Google Images searcher and the WHR ratio of each manager was determined by using Image J software. Statistical population of the research is consist of all companies listed on Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE), and the statistical sample consists of 66 firms (594 year-firms) from 2010 to 2018. Structural equation method (SEM) and Smart PLS software were used to test the effects of variables. The findings showed that in the studied firms, androgenic characteristic and corporate governance have a significant positive and negative effect on the business unit’s performance, respectively. In addition, corporate governance has a significant and negative moderating effect on the relationship between androgenic characteristics and business unit’s performance. Also from two components of the corporate governance, the combination of shareholders, does not have any effect and combination of the board has a significant and negative moderating effect on the relationship. Whatever managers have a higher degree of narcissism and self-confidence, they are able to obtain reward and confirmation of the stakeholders for better business unit’s performance. Corporate governance, with a negative effect on the firm’s performance and modifying this relationship, tries to control the performance and dimensions of the managers' androgenic characteristics.
