Abstract:This study investigates the influence of corporate governance on non-financial performance in financial services sector in Uganda. Corporate governance mechanisms examined included ownership concentration, board composition, CEO tenure and CEO turnover through multi-theory lenses of agency theory, stakeholder theory, resource-based theory and institutional theory. Non-financial performance was measured using employee satisfaction, social performance and environmental performance.
