The purpose of this research is to answer the question of whether the concentration of ownership can modify the relationship between board independence and corporate performance?Methodology:For this purpose, 108 active companies were studied during the years 1389- 1393.Results:The results of this research indicate that the independence of the board of directors on the performance of the company (ROA) has no significant effect on the 95% confidence level. Therefore, ownership concentration does not modify the relationship between board autonomy and corporate performance (ROA). On the other hand, the independence of the board of directors (QTOBIN) has a negative and significant effect on the 95% confidence level. As a result of a decrease in ownership concentration will increase the effectiveness of the Board of Directors' equity on the company's performance (QTOBIN). Also, according to the survey, the type of company has no effect on the relationship between the independence of the board of directors and the company's performance. As a result, a decrease in ownership concentration will increase the effectiveness of the Board of Directors' equity on the company's performance (QTOBIN). Also, according to the survey, the type of company has no effect on the relationship between the independence of the board of directors and the company's performance.Conclusion:Finally,in companies with high independence of the board, attention should be paid to the role of supervisory role of major shareholders, and the results and rules can be found in public and private companies. The same thing exploited. It is also recommended that the Stock Exchange and Exxon Societies of Iran create disclosure requirements for accepted companies and provide this disclosure to investors quickly.References
