Abstract

Objective: This study aims to explain the role of Ownership structure in the board Strategic decision-making process in the Iranian institutional context as a developing country. The Agency Theory does not direct this research as the dominant theory in the Corporate governance field; instead, this study is guided through the behavioral approach. Methods: The strategy of this research is a multiple case study with an abductive theorybuilding approach. By examining the Ownership structure of Iranian banks, four banks were selected. Thirty-four semi-structured interviews are conducted with the CEOs, board members, CEO deputies, and officers relevant to strategy and Corporate governance. Data analysis and theorizing were followed by systematic coding of interviews through eight steps, including within-case analysis, cross-case analysis, initial hypothesis building, and enfolding the literature. As a result, six propositions are suggested and conceptualized. Results: The results reveal that ownership concentration harms the balance of power, and thus the effectiveness of the decision-making process. At the same time, Mixed ownership hurts strategic decision-making with a negative effect on the balance of trust and emotional climate and balance of the cognitive conflict. Regulatory bodies can moderate the negative effect of ownership concentration on the balance of power. Conclusion: Contrary to existing literature, results show that both "ownership concentration" and "Mixed ownership" have negative impacts on the "effectiveness of strategic decision making". Three primary processes, the balances of "power", "trust and emotional climate" and "cognitive conflict", appear to explain the findings. Regulatory bodies, as critical institutional forces, moderate these adverse effects. We explain our conflicting findings with the differences between institutional contexts. Due to the importance of banking in the Iranian economy and considering the moderating role of supervisory agencies on the mentioned negative impacts, improving regulatory institutions and strengthening supervisory mechanisms to limit major shareholders' interference is suggested.
