The goal of this study is to look into the relationship between executive pay and the financial success of Palestinian companies. The study is based on 41 companies’ panel data from 2014 to 2017. ROA, EPS, and revenues were used to measure financial achievement, while executive compensation was calculated directly from annual reports. A GLS estimator found a positive relationship between executive pay and financial results as measured by return on assets and sales, but no link between executive compensation and earnings per share. Because earnings management strategies may have influenced the findings, they should be evaluated with caution. Furthermore, the small sample size makes drawing definite conclusions problematic. As a result, future work should break through this barrier and expand the scope and scale of research in this field.
