Abstract

This research examines the impact of three types of agency problems (agency problem Type I, II and III) on corporate performance. This study uses 1.760 observations of nonfinancial companies from Indonesia during 2013–2017. The results show that agency problems Type I (manager vs. shareholder) and Type II (majority vs. minority shareholder) in general positively affect performance, whereas agency problems Type III (shareholder vs. creditor) negatively affect performance. This study contributes to agency theory literature and to local and international investors that invest in the Indonesian capital market by showing that not all types of agency problems negatively affect performance.
