| dc.description.abstract | This dissertation covers as general objective to analyze if the form of executive compensation impacts the performance of Brazilian publicly traded companies. The literature suggests that the executive compensation by incentives aims to reduce the agency problem and align its interests with those of investors. Using the IBrA database, this paper seeks to test the hypothesis that executive compensation has a positive impact on the performance of Brazilian publicly traded companies. The analysis of 150 Brazilian publicly traded companies, listed in the IBrA, between 2010 and 2015, indicates a significant impact between executive compensation and performance, with a greater significance between the executive remuneration and the performance calculated by the Q of Tobin, and lower significance through the performance calculated by the return of shareholders' equity. By analyzing the sample of data divided into criteria of stock control or capital origin of family, state and other private companies, with non-family stock control, the family organizations showed close significance to the private companies, and the state companies did not reveal significance in the total remuneration variables and variable remuneration index. The analysis by sector also showed greater significance in relation to the Q of Tobin than in relation to the return of stockholders' equity | en |
