In bad financial condition, Panel B of Table 2 shows that the regression model is significant (F=3.456, p<0.01). The findings reveal that Caretaker corporate governance mechanism has significantly higher effects on the probability of falling into financial distress than Proactive and Participative corporate governance mechanisms (t=-1.998, p<0.05; t=-3.591, p<0.01). All the values of VIF, CI and DW are in reasonable ranges. Hence, there are no collinearity problems and no serial correlation in residual.
