Abstract

The role of the board as an internal mechanism for Good Corporate Governance (GCG) is needed to reduce agency conflicts. When the board plays a good role in managing GCG, the company will run effectively and efficiently, and be able to prosper the shareholders, as well as bring good effect on company performance, thereby increasing profitability. Increased profitability will indirectly increase the company’s stock price and the company’s value will increase. This study aims to determine the direct effect of board structure consisting of the board of directors (BOD) and board of commissioner (BOC) on firm value, profitability on firm value, and to determine the indirect effect of board structure on firm value through profitability. The sampling method used was purposive sampling, the object of this research was companies listed on the Indonesian Sharia Stock Index (ISSI) from 2015-2019, with a sample size of 103 companies. The analysis tools used were Panel Data Regression and Path Analysis. The results showed that the variables of BOC and profitability had a negative and significant effect on firm value. Meanwhile, variables of BOD has no significant effect on firm value. The board structure variable also has no significant effect on profitability. The results of the Path Analysis show that profitability is not able to be an intervening variable between BOD and BOC on firm value.
