Abstract

This study examines how organisational demography (organizational age,

organisational size and number of years listed in the Athens Stock Exchange, ATHEX),

impacts board structure (board size, CEO duality and CEO dependence/independence).

Data was collected from the annual reports of 140 manufacturing organisations, quoted in

the Athens Stock Exchange in 2002. Research findings revealed a significantly positive

relationship of organisational size, organisational age and number of years that a firm is

listed in the Stock Exchange with board size. However, the same organisational

characteristics do not seem to influence the leadership structure or

dependence/independence of the Chairperson to the CEO.
