Governance in stock broking: A study on executors' technical knowledge, self-efficacy and continuous learning and training

Agency theory posits that firm performance is depending on agents’ competency. Hence, this study investigates whether stock brokers compliant to SG–Rules is achieved due to the competency of the Executors (agent). Executors’ technical knowledge (Tech-know) in the SG–Rules, level of self–efficacy (SE...

Hence, this study investigates whether stock brokers compliant to SG–Rules is achieved due to the competency of the Executors (agent). Executors’ technical knowledge (Tech-know) in the SG–Rules, level of self–efficacy (SE) and their current state of continuous learning and training (CLT) are deemed determinants of stock broker’s compliance.
