An analysis of structural causal relationship of corporate governance on going concern through firm value In the covid-19 pandemic of companies listed on the stock exchange of Thailand
Abstract:
The aims of this research are 1) To study the composition of the board of directors and ownership structure that affect firm value. 2) To study the ownership structure that affects the continued operations of the business. 3) To study firm value. that affect the continued operations of companies listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand and 4) to develop a structural equation model of the impact of corporate governance on going concern through firm value. In the situation of the COVID-19 outbreak among a sample group of 552 companies listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand. Collected secondary data both the exogenous latent variables and the endogenous latent variables from the 56-1 report of the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET). It was analyzed with statistical analysis of the structural equation model :SEM) using criteria to check the harmony of the model with empirical data. The results of the research found that 1) The results of examining the consistency of the structural equation model of corporate governance towards going concern through firm value. In the situation of the spread of COVID-19 disease of companies listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand found that, the structural equation model was consistent with the empirical data. The Chi-square value is statistically significant equal 119.912 at degrees of freedom equal to 50. The relative Chi-square ratio index equals 2.398, which is less than 3.0, with a small p-value equal to 0.000, which less than 0.05. The comparative Fit Index (CFI) is equal to 0.958, which is less than 0.90. The incremental fit index (IFI) is equal to 0.959, which is less than 0.90. The norm fit index (NFI) is equal to 0.931, which is less than 0.90. The Root Mean Square Error of Approximation (RMSEA) is equal to 0.05, which is less than 0.08. According to the theory, it can be explained that the structural equation model is consistent and harmonious. with the theoretical model set at an acceptable level. 2) The results of
the hypothesis testing found that the latent variable, namely Board Composition, has an observed variable of Board size, Proportion of the audit committee, Proportion of independent directors, and the CEO duality affects to firm value. While, the latent variable, namely ownership structure has an observed variable of concentration ownership, foreign ownership, Institutional ownership, Government ownership and family ownership all affect to firm value and going concern measured by operating activities (CFO). For the forecast coefficient (R2) of the latent variable structure equation, it was found that the forecast coefficient of firm value was equal to 0.336 and Going Concern was equal to 0.243. When, considering the direct and indirect influence of the variables, it was found that Firm Value was directly and collectively influenced by Board attributes equal to 0.372, significant at the 0.001 level. Ownership Structure was directly and collectively influenced by firm value is equal to 0.547, also significant at the 0.001 level, while going concern are indirectly influenced by Board attributes equal to 0.195, accounting for a total influence equal to 0.195. Going concern is influenced by Ownership Structure. Direct influence in the negative is equal to -.397 at the significance level of 0.01. Indirect influence is equal to .287 at the significance level of 0.01 and total influence is equal to -.110 at the significance level of 0.01 and it is found that Going concern receives direct influence and total influence firm value equal to .523 is significant at the 0.05 level.
