Abstract: The paper examines the impact of ownership structure and board characteristics on firm performance in Vietnam. Obtaining a sample of 300 non-financial companies listed on Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange (HOSE) and Ha Noi Stock Exchange (HNX) from 2014-2018, the paper reveals the positive impact of foreign and CEO ownership on firm performance, while state ownership, board independence, board gender diversity, and CEO duality yield negative impact due to various institutional factors. This paper also addresses some limitations in term of statistical models in the previous papers, providing more valid and reliable findings. Consequently, several implications have been proposed for company management and regulatory authorities.
