    abstract = {This study focuses to achieve an important objective by examining the moderating 
  effect of board diversity (foreign member on the executive committee and executive 
  committee commitment) on the relationship between executive committee characteristics 
  and firm performance in Omani companies excluding those categorized under the 
  financial sector. The sampling covers 2 years, 2011 and 2012. This study used 
  multiple regression and hierarchical multiple regression to analyze the association 
  between independent, moderating and dependent variables. Based on the findings, 
  a positive association between executive committee independence, executive committee 
  meeting and firm performance is revealed although it is not significant. In 
  the same context, the finding revealed a negative relationship between executive 
  committee size and firm performance. Moreover, the board diversity moderated 
  the relationship between executive committee characteristics and firm performance 
  but the effect is not significant. Finally, this study offers recommendations 
  for future researchers at the end.}
