The meta-results disclose a positive C.E.O. pay¨Cperformance correlation (the highest correlation coefficient corresponds to Earnings per share with a 34%) as the agency theory prescribes and the governance policies promote. However, firm size still predominates as the main driver of C.E.O. pay (correlation coefficient is around 44%) according to managerial premises. Moreover, our results reconcile both approaches because results of the meta-regressions suggest that larger companies and more independent boards strengthen the pay¨Cperformance association. Additional analyses of moderating factors on C.E.O. pay forces do not provide robust conclusions, though, they suggest: (1) weak impact, if any, of both the Cadbury Report and the S.O.X.; and (2) lack of homogeneity in the banking industry despite its specific regulation %K C.E.O. compensation %K C.E.O. pay %K pay¨Cperformance %K corporate governance %K managerial power theory %K meta-analysis %U https://hrcak.srce.hr/index.php?show=clanak&id_clanak_jezik=334117
