Abstract: The purpose of this paper aims to seek the effect of corporate social responsibility (CSR) performance,
effectivenes, and women on the board of commissioner influence the likehood of CEO turnover. Measurement
of CSR performance based on Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) ESG index contains with five
indicators. The effectiveness of the board of commissioners is measured using modified indicators developed
by Hermawan (2011) with four indicators. The composition of women members of the board of
commissioners is measured proportionally by comparing the number of women with the total number of
boards of commissioners. This study used 168 sample of companies who are listed on the Indonesia Stock
Exchange during 2012-2016. This test used logistic regression to measure the probability of changes the CEO.
The results of this study show that CSR performance and gender composition of women board of
commissioners have no significant effect on CEO turnover. While the effectiveness of the board of
commissioners has a significant influence of CEO turnover in Indonesia.
1 INTRODUCTION
CSR activities are described as marketing
operations implemented by companies to
demonstrate the contribution of social responsibility
effectively and concretely. CSR is a business
commitment to contribute to sustainable economic
development, working with employees, families,
local communities and the wider community to
improve the quality of life (World Business Council
for Sustainable Development, 2002).
Related to company performance, CSR
performance also become one of benchmark in
passing judgment to change CEO. Performance of
CSR is able to predict the tendency of a change of
CEO in line with company performance (Cooper
2017). The results of the research show that there is a
positive relationship between CSR performance with
CEO turnover. Where the better the performance of
CSR the more likely the CEO is replaced. The
foundation is based on a perceived stakeholder theory
which shows that strong CSR engagement can
increase the likelihood of change if the company's
performance is not good. This is because companies
with strong CSR have better governance and
management perspectives that are more in line with
shareholder objectives.
Good corporate governance is reflected in the
effectiveness of the board of commissioners.
Indonesian known forusing to a two-tier system with
the separation of duties between the board of directors
and the board of commissioners. With the supervisors
conducted by the board of commissioners are
expected that all activities will works effectively and
efficiently. So it can help the company achieve its
desired goals and in line with what is expected by the
stakeholders. In addition, due to the effectiveness of
the board of commissioners, stakeholders may
consider the recommendations ofreplacing CEO’s
regarding the performance during the period.
According to Mensi Klarbach (2014) the role and
impact of women within the organization is not only
a topic of concern to researchers but also an issue of
interest to policymakers. In previous research states
that women's representation has contributed to the
effectiveness of the council and was able to increase

the board's monitoring activities in the company
(Ittonen et al., 2010). In addition, research conducted
by Francis et al. (2015) regarding gender within the
company indicates that there is a significant increase
in the number of women in the executive. On the basis
of the consideration of research on gender
composition of women on the Board of
Commissioners.
The literature confirms that the composition of the
board of commissioners is an important factor in
contributing to the effectiveness of the company's
performance. The greater diversity of board members
can enhance the company's ability to address the
needs and interests of different stakeholder groups
(Harjoto et al., 2015). BOC requires the best strategy
to align interests, and to manage potential conflicts
among stakeholders. Based on existing research, the
influence of gender diversity of the board of
commissioners, especially women members, can help
the selection of appropriate decisions for the
company.
In Indonesia’sn research on CEOs turnover are
not too much, the research tends to the company's
performance. Lindrianasari and Hartono (2013)
found a negative relationship between firm
performance and ownership change over the
probability of a CEO turnover. While Setiawan et al.
(2017) examines the change of both regular and non-
regular CEOs turnover, the results show that
Indonesian firms do not have significant differences
in CEO turnover. Therefore this research is expected
to be empirical evidence in Indonesia for the assertion
that better CSR performance, the board of
commissioners effectiveness, and woman on the
board of commissioners can lead to CEO turnover.
The paper is organized in the following structure.
In the next section, will discuss the existing literatur
about CSR, effectiveness, and women on the board
of commissioners. In the folllowing section, will
discuss the develop hypotheses. And the following
section, will discuss data and sample. Then, report
and discuss analyses about this research.
2 LITERATURE REVIEW AND
HYPOTHESES DEVELOPMENT
2.1 Corporate Social Responsibility
(CSR)
CSR is defined by Harjoto and Jo (2011) as how
the company manages the business process to
generate an overall positive impact on society and
refers to serving people, communities, and the
environment in ways that transcend the legal and
financial needs of a company. On the basis of that
indirectly indicates that CSR is an action and
investment that can achieve financial goals that is to
maximize shareholder wealth and focus on improving
some social goodness.
Harjoto and Jo (2011) outline several theories
used to explain why firms are involved in CSR and
how CSR can affect the performance and actions
taken by the company. First there is the entrenchment
theory that illustrates that CSR is a way for managers
to generate support from stakeholders.
Cespa and Cestone (2007) argue that CSR can
protect CEOs who do not work efficiently by using
stakeholders as an effective protection strategy.
Martinez-Ferrero and Garcia-Sanchez (2015) also
support that entrenchment theory that CSR has a role
in managerial discretion. This practice of managerial
policy implements good CSR practices although
accounting practices in bad companies can be covered
by compensating stakeholders. So it is concluded that
in entrenchment theory, CSR is used to cover
unnecessary actions and performance.
Furthermore, stakeholder theory, in which
Harjoto and Jo (2011) explain that CSR involvement
can reduce conflicts of interest between different
groups of managers, investors, and non-investor
stakeholders. This suggests that companies use CSR
to motivate managers to act in the interests of
shareholders and other stakeholder groups. Thus it is
expected to reduce agency problems among various
stakeholders. Cai et al., (2011) supports the
stakeholder theory in his research on CSR relations
and compensation. The study found that better social
performance pays fewer executives than companies
with poor CSR records.
So it can be concluded that CSR can be one of
indicators to predict the behavior of CEO and board
members. Behavior in question is either the attitude
or decision-making or risk that can affect the
operational performance of the company. The
performance of this company is often the subject of
research, because many studies have found a negative
relationship between performance and the possibility
of a change of CEO. Fiordelisi and Ricci (2014) argue
that corporate culture affects the relationship between
financial performance and CEO turnover. The
probability of a change of CEO has a positive
relationship with a competitive and creative culture.
In Indonesia, Lindrianasari and Hartono (2013) found
that CEO turnover occurred not because of the effects
of the company's performance. In his research ROA
SEABC 2018 - 4th Sriwijaya Economics, Accounting, and Business Conference
48
the company did not change well before and after the
change of CEO.
However, the study of Leker and Solomon (2000)
suggests that a coercive CEO shift has a positive
effect on the company's performance. Poorly
performing CEOs have the probability of being
forcibly discharged, so that the CEO who replaces
them is expected to improve their previous
performance. Cooper (2017) argues that in
stakeholder theory despite good or improved CSR
practices, corporate performance, especially
accounting practices, overall decreased it can increase
the chances of CEO turnover. This statement is
because companies with strong CSR are considered
to have better governance and management
perspectives that are more in line with shareholders.
So for the sake of aligning the interests of
shareholders the CEO can be replaced in the next
period. So hypothesis 1 is formulated as follows:
H1a: The performance of CSR increases the
probability of a CEO's replacement
2.2 Board of Commisioner
Effectiveness
The governance structure, in Indonesia there is its
own governance structure is set up in the Komite
Nasional Kebijakan Governance (KNKG). KNKG
there are several structures for listed companies such
as the GMS, board of commissioners, board of
directors, audit committee, internal audit, external
audit, and others. In this study focused on the
governance structure of the Board of Commissioners.
Board of commissioners has an important role in
corporate governance framework. The main task is to
be responsible for overseeing the management
policies and their implementation as well as an
advisor to the board of directors.
A variety of study has a lot to connect between the
board of commissioners effectiveness with a wide
range of subjects for research. In a good governance
mechanism it is said that the board of commissioners
has an important role that can affect the performance
of the company. It is said that the board of
commissioners who perform their functions
effectively can prevent management actions that
harm the company. Harjoto and Jo (2011) argue that
effective governance mechanisms including
independent board members can encourage CSR
engagement, thereby helping to reduce conflicts
between firms and stakeholders and positively affect
corporate value.
The characteristics of the board of commissioners
in Indonesia are different from the characteristics of
the board of directors in the United States and other
countries that adopted the one-tier system for the
board (Hermawan, 2011). Indonesia adopted a two-
tier system in which there is a separation of duties
between the board of commissioners and the board of
directors. So to measure of the board of
commissioners effectiveness need to consider the
following points.
2.2.1 Board Independence
To avoid bias in decision making, the board of
commissioners are required to have independent
characteristics during their obligations. Based on the
regulations of the Otoritas Jasa Keuangan (OJK)
No.33 / POJK.04 / 2014 the number of independent
commissioners shall be at least 30% of the total
members of the board of commissioners if its
members are more than two.
With the existence of an independent board of
commissioners based on these criteria is expected the
board can function effectively in carrying out its
duties. Research conducted by Johnson and Daily
(1996) shows that boards affect the outcome of the
company by carrying out supervisory functions,
resource allocation and strategic roles. Brick and
Chidambaran (2007) found that supervisory activities
undertaken by boards can increase firm value.
Because boards members can effectively identify the
opportunistic behavior of managers by monitoring to
ensure that organizational behavior is in line with the
interests of corporate stakeholders. Thus, with the
independence of the board of commissioners is
expected to oversee the implementation of corporate
performance, especially in the CSR performance.
2.2.2 Board Activities
The Board of Commissioners must follow the
applicable requirements for making informed
decisions, or take risks to be decided carefully. To
support the effectiveness of the duties of the board of
commissioners in conducting supervisory
management, a board meeting is held.
Commissioners are required to carry out regular
meetings attended by boards of commissioners and
directors to discuss any issues that occur in the
company. Such routine meetings shall be held at least
once in two months, based on POJK No.33 / POJK.04
/ 2014 and shall hold meetings with directors at least
three times a year.
There are several studies which consider that
board activity is an important dimension and that the
The Effect of Corporate Social Responsibility Performance, Board of Commissioners Effectiveness, and Women on The Board of
Commissioners Towards CEO Turnover
49
frequency of meetings affects the company's
operational performance (Vafeas, 1999). Anderson et
al. (2003) examined the effect of board activity as
measured by the number of meetings on earning
response coefficient and the results had a positive
effect. Therefore, the board activities represented by
the number of board meetings are important
characteristics to measure the effectiveness of the
board's role in overseeing management actions,
particularly those relating to the reporting process of
financial statements.
2.2.3 Board Size
The size or number of boards of commissioners
has an effect on the effectiveness of council
performance. In POJK No.33 / POJK.04 / 2014 on the
Board of Directors and Board of Commissioners of
Issuers or Public Companies, explained that at least
the number of members of the board of
commissioners consists of two members, one is an
independent commissioner.
Based on the research of Jensen (1993) statedthat
the size of the smaller board of commissioners will be
more effective in carrying out supervisory functions.
As for Yermack (1996) stating that the size of the
smaller board of commisioners has a higher corporate
value in the public eye. The assumption that the
number of boards of commissioners which tend to be
more able to conduct supervision properly, because
the smaller board could perform the maximum
supervision and can be free from free rider.
However, there are other studies argue that
themore of the board of commissioners members are
much better than the small size of the board of
commissioners. Dalton et al. (1999) suggests that
more board sizes allow for better relationships with
the environment and the experts on boards..
2.2.4 Board Competence
Furthermore, an important aspect in performing
the duties as a supervisor of corporate performance is
the competence of the board of commissioners.
KNKG (2006) sets out the requirements for the board
of commissioners by having integrity and capability
that qualified to perform the task effectively and
efficiently.
So the board of commissioners are required to
have knowledge of the company’s business. As well
as the experience the board of commissioners is very
important in carrying out supervision and provide
insert in the actions of the management to remain in
the company and shareholders objectives.
Various research has a lot to connect between the
effectiveness of the board of commissioners with
various research subjects. In good governance
mechanism, the board of commissioners has an
important role that can affect the performance of the
company. It is said that the board of commissioners
who perform their functions effectively can prevent
management actions that harm the company. Harjoto
and Jo (2011) argue that effective governance
mechanisms including independent board members
can encourage CSR engagement, thereby helping to
reduce conflicts between firms and stakeholders and
positively affect corporate value.
Based on Hermawan's (2011) study in accordance
with Zhou and Chen (2004) the effectiveness of the
board is influenced by several characteristics, such as
board independence, board activity, board size, and
board competence. With the effectiveness of the
board of commissioners is expected to be able to
supervise the company's performance so that the
results obtained by the company can benefit various
parties.
The more effective the performance of the board
of commissioners in carrying out its duties is as a
supervisor of management policies, and provide
advice to the board of directors of the company's
performance is expected to be better. In line with the
agency theory that companies that have better
governance and management perspectives are more
in line with shareholders. So the role of effectiveness
of the board of commissioners in overseeing is said to
improve corporate governance, so as to increase the
likelihood of a change of CEO. Hence hypothesis 2 is
formulated as follows:
H2a: The effectiveness of the board of
commissioners increases the probability of a
CEO turnover
2.3 Women on The Board of
Commissioners
Women's involvement in decision-making in
management can result in more creative and
innovative decisions, so that action can encourage
women to reach positions on the board. This is stated
by Bruke (1994) on increasing the number of women
members on the board. In addition, Burke (1997)
showed positive results from women participation on
the board, that there is a positive impact that women
employees feel more motivated to work and more
sensitive to women employee issues.
Correspondingly, Burgess and Tharenou (2002)
argue that more homogeneous boards make the same
SEABC 2018 - 4th Sriwijaya Economics, Accounting, and Business Conference
50
decisions. However, the more diverse boards tend to
minimize errors.
The diversity of members of the board of
commissioners with the presence of women said can
increase the board effectiveness and corporate
governance (Adams and Ferreira, 2009).
Theoretically confirms that the composition of the
board of commissioners is an important factor in
contributing to the effectiveness of corporate
performance. The greater diversity of board members
is able to improve the ability of companies to
understand the needs and interests of different
stakeholder groups (Harjoto et al., 2015). Board of
commissioners requires the best strategy to align
interests, and to manage potential conflicts among
stakeholders. Based on existing research, the
influence of gender diversity of the board of
commissioners can help the selection of appropriate
decisions for the company.
With the existence of a diversity of women
especially in the board of commissioners is expected
to trigger the optimal company's performance. It is
also said the diversity of board members can increase
the efficiency of corporate performance, so corporate
governance is expected to increase and the likehood
of CEO turnover increased. So the third hypothesis
that can be concluded is:
H3a: Women on the board of commissioners
increases the probability of a CEO turnover.
3 METHODOLOGY
The sample of this study is the entire company
listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (BEI) during
the year of 2012 until 2016 based on the following
criteria such as companies are not in the financial
industry, publish annual report year 2012-2016,
disclose CSR activities in annual reports, and there
was a changes of CEO in 2013-2016.
This research used binary response regression
model that is logit which is an adaptation model used
by Cooper (2017). In addition, there are modifications
to some of the variables used during the study. The
regression equation that will be used to test H1a, H2a,
and H3athatsis as follows:

So in this study the independent variables
measured by the company's performance years before
the turn of the CEO. Where Pr(NEW)it is probability
of CEO turnover at the time; CSRP
it-1
is score
previous year’s to measure the CSR performance;
BOCSCORE
it-1
is dummy variable with value 1 if the
board of commissioners effectiveness score in
previous year is greater than equal; BOCWOM
it-1
is
score that measure proportionally of women on board

it-1
is measured as the log of
total assets; LEV
it-1
is measured as total debt divided
by total assets; ROA
it-1
as the measure of firm
profitability; GROWTHASS
it-1
is measured as the
changes of total assets that owned by the firm from
the previous year. AGE
it-1
is the number of years the
company is active since IPO.
The score for CSR performance is computed
based on checklist of certain characteristic factors to
assess the performance through content analysis. The
check list was compiled with reference to a list of
question prepared by MSCI ESG. There are seven
different categories, including community, diversity,
employee relations, environment, product, corporate
governance and human rights. For each category,
MSCI ESG conducts an objective assessment of the
company's positive performance indicators
(strengths) and negative indicators (concerns). The
assessment of CSR performance this study refers to
previous studies by using five indicators. Both
Cooper (2017), Rekker et al., (2013) and Greening
and Turban (2000) measure the CSR performance
using the KLD database but exclude corporate
governance and human rights indicators. The
performance of CSR for each company is assessed by
give 1 if the category is positive and -1 if the category
is negative. If the company does not meet the
assessment criteria specified for the indicator, then it
is assigned a value of 0.
Measured the board of commissioners
effectiveness by using the assessment method made
by Hermawan (2011) with modification, using a
checklist consisting of four indicators: independence,
number of members, activities, and competencies
board of commissioners. In the indicator contains
several questionnaires that have been prepared by
Hermawan (2011) with three judgments, among
others good, fair, and poor. The value obtained will
be accumulated in its entirety and divided by the
maximum total value that can be obtained for each
sample in order to test the validity of each question.
So that result value with scale 0 to 1, with max value
that is 1.
The measurement of the gender composition of
the board of commissioners is by looking at the
The Effect of Corporate Social Responsibility Performance, Board of Commissioners Effectiveness, and Women on The Board of
Commissioners Towards CEO Turnover
51
members of the board of commissioners that stated on
the company profile in the annual report. Lazzaretti et
al. (2013) and Alfraih (2017) measures composition
of women on the board by assigning a score of 1 if
there are female members and 0 if there are no female
members in the board of commissioners. However, in
this study the measurement using the proportion of
women divided by the number of existing board of
commissioners.
CEO turnover as a dependent variable is measured
by obtained from the company's annual financial
statements and or by comparing the names of CEOs
in two consecutive years according to Indonesian
Capital Market Directory (ICMD) and annual reports
(Adiasih and Kusuma, 2011; Setiawan et al., 2017).
The CEO turnover is considered to happened if the
name of the CEO is listed differently. Because of the
information usually do not contained in the GMS for
the CEO's turnover, this study defines that category
of successor happens when the CEO's tenur has not
been due to, not relected after one period, and the
CEO resigns. The turnover of information retrieved
from both the AGM or EGM.
4 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Based on sample criteria as described above, the
sample for this study is 168 companies, which
consists of 84which experienced CEOs turnover, after
that it’s done peer sampling to adjust the sample with
the same size of firms.
In table 1 presented information about descriptive
statistics on research observation. Before performing
data processing, data that has been compiled is
identified in advance to know the existence of data
outliers. To overcome the data outliers this study
gives upper limit and lower limit using winsorizing.
The identified data affected by the outliers will be
replaced by the largest or smallest value limits of the
observed values within the ± 3x standard deviation
range.

CSR performance generally stated by companies
in the annual report has an average value of 10.29.
This shows that CSR performance in some companies
is quite good. While the minimum value obtained
from the observation is 2 while the maximum value is
24. The proportion of two men on the board of
commissioners shows a maximum value of 0.667 and
a minimum value of 0 because there are companies
that do not have a board of commissioners who are
female.

The logistic regression test resulted are reported
in Table 2. The result found that the higher the
performance of CSR will lower the company's
chances for CEO turnover. This is indicated by the
value of odds ratio of 0.99 and z -0.05 which is
defined as if there is an increase in CSR performance
then the decrease in the incidence of CEO turnover of
0.99 times. While P│z value is not significant
because it exceeds the significant level of 10%. So on
the basis of the first alternative hypothesis (H1a) in
this study is unacceptable or unproven. The results of
this study contrasted with the research of Cooper
(2017) which in his research showed that there is a
positive relationship to the change of CEO at a
significant level of 1%.
This study gives different results from previous
studies. Where the performance of CSR has a
negative direction value of -0.0024. Thus, this study
SEABC 2018 - 4th Sriwijaya Economics, Accounting, and Business Conference
52
tends to support entrenchment theory (Cespa and
Cestone, 2007; Martinez-Ferrero and Garcia-
Sanchez, 2015) where CSR performance is used as
management or managerial management protection if
firm performance decreases and minimizes the
chances of CEO shift. The performance of CSR in
this study cannot be a factor that led to the
replacement of company CEO.
In addition, there is no much difference between
CSR performance for companies that make a change
of CEO with no turnover. Overall the value of CSRP
is homogeneous and when assessed CSRP found that
many companies do not clearly stated CSR that has
been done in the annual report. Such as the
responsibility of the company environment in the use
of technology or waste.
The board of commissioners effectiveness in this
study found that with more effective performance or
an increase the board of commissioners effectiveness
it will increase the chances of a CEO turnover. The
opportunity is marked by a significant positive
relationship at the 5% level of 0.0385. So the second
alternative hypothesis (H2a) of this study is accepted.
This is in line with Harjoto and Jo (2011) stating that
effective governance mechanisms are capable of
performing well supervisory functions of
management activities.
With the board of commissioners effectiveness is
expected to be able to supervise the company's
performance so that companies can achieve corporate
objectives and maximize the desires of stakeholders.
In addition, if the board of commissioners perform its
functions effectively it can prevent fraudulent acts
(Hermawan, 2011).
The presence of women in the board of
commissioners is expected to improve the
performance of the board of commissioners and
corporate governance with its participation in
supervision. However, the results of this study
indicate that if the proportion of women in the board
of commissioners increases then will decrease the
chances of a change of CEO. The test results proved
to be insignificant at 0.275 which exceeded the
significant limit at the 10% level. So the third
alternative hypothesis (H3a) is not proven or not
accepted. This is inversely related to Adams and
Ferreira (2009) and Gul et al. (2012) which stated that
a high female composition can improve corporate
governance, thus increasing the chances of CEO
turnover.
Whereas the control variables there are three
variables that have a significant influence on CEO
turnover. The ROA variable has a significance level
of 5% as expected, the previous year’s performance
negatively impacts CEO turnover. The
GROWTHASS variable has a significant value of
0.0465 which means it is at the 5% level. Then the
AGE variable is at a significant level of 1% where the
value obtained is 0.0015. The SIZE and LEV
variables do not affect CEO turnover because the
significance value obtained exceeds 10% that is equal
to 0.3025 and 0.2645.
5 CONCLUSION
This study examines the relationship of CSR
performance, board of commissioners effectiveness,
and women on the board of commissioners towards
the CEO turnover. The main purpose of this study is
to provide an overview of CEO turnover in Indonesia
based on these three factors. The research model
refers to Cooper research (2017) with the
modification of the effectiveness and women on
board of commissioners. This research method used
logit regression as previous research using
unbalanced panel data of 168 in 2013-2016. In
accordance with the results of testing and analysis
concluded several conclusion.
First, the study covers 2012-2016, since CEO
turnover is calculated starting in 2013 and testing data
using the previous year. Most CEO turnover occurs
in 2013 and 2016 with the same number of 24
companies. While the lowest CEO turnover occurred
in 2014 of 17 companies. Regarding the change of
CEO of this study assess the criteria that have been
set at the beginning of the turnover occurs if the tenur
has not been due to, not elected CEO in the second
period with assumptions due to performance during
the tenure.
Second, based on the logistic regression this study
finds that only the board of commissioners
effectiveness has a significant effect on the turn of the
CEO with the possibility of occurring as many as 82
times. While the other two factors are the
performance of CSR and women on board of
commissioner not proven can influence the turn of
CEO. This is inversely proportional to previous
research. CSR performance is predicted to reduce
CEO turnover of 0.99 times while the female gender
composition of board of commissioners able to
reduce the turnover of CEO by 0.28 times. If further
investigated this insignificance occurring due to
similarities in CSR performance of companies in
Indonesia between companies that are experiencing
the CEO turnover with companies that do not
experience.
The Effect of Corporate Social Responsibility Performance, Board of Commissioners Effectiveness, and Women on The Board of
Commissioners Towards CEO Turnover

There are some implications of this study which
found the company with tenure CEO has been re-
appointed for many years. It should be a company
regulations thats runs maximum the tenur of the CEO,
so there is no CEO who is served too long in the
company. For investors, the choice to invest can be
seen both from the CSR performance, board of
commissioners performance, and the financial
performance of the company. The government should
make regulation standards about CSR companies that
discuss what things need to be implemented by the
company in detail. Then the rules on the CEO's tenur
need to be reaffirmed as there are companies that have
not changed the CEO since a long time ago.
In this study have several limitations in testing
that need to be refined in subsequent research. First
this study only uses a sample of companies
experiencing a change of CEO based on criteria if the
tenur has not been due to, and not elected CEO in the
second period. So the data collected is limited. In
addition, this study did not use the changed CEO
gender. Second, measured CSR performance is
difficult to do because in Indonesia there is no
institution that provides performance data of CSR
such as KLD Stats so that research on CSR uses
content analysis on secondary data. Third, In
matching companies that do not experience the CEO
turnover is done based on category of company
sectors that experienced a turnover and measured
with an equivalent company value.
Further studies are expected to use the overall
CEO turn of either voluntary or forced turnover. So
the results of the research can ensure the impact of
CSR performance on the turn of the CEO. To conduct
an assessment of CSR performance should use
indicators that have been tested that the resulting
value is able to reflect the company's actual CSR
performance. Further research can use other variables
that are able to predict the turn of the CEO in addition
to the effectiveness and gender composition of the
board of commissioners. Future research may use the
CEO's gender criteria that served as Cooper's study
(2017).
