Abstract

This paper takes independent directors’ duty performance behavior as an entry point to study the impact of the behavior on the performance of listed companies. A-share listed companies from 2011 to 2021 are selected as research samples. Empirical research finds that the higher the proportion of independent directors attending major company meetings in person, the lower the proportion of publicly expressed opinions other than agreement, the higher the number of part-time jobs, and the greater the conduciveness to promote the enhancement of the company's green innovation.
