Results: The study finds that managers holding both managerial and ownership positions enhance the performance of listed firms during the implementation phase of demographic diversity in management, ownership, and control in South Africa. However, such dual managerial ownership and control roles do not optimally promote the Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) program in support of corporate governance practices. Novelty: This research not only examines the relationship between managerial ownership and company performance, but also introduces the unique transformative policy context of the South African BEE. Contribution: This study provides corporate boards and policymakers with evidence-based strategies to balance performance incentives with Black Economic Empowerment compliance Abstrak : Kepemilikan Manajerial dan Kinerja Perusahaan berdasarkan Kebijakan Pemberdayaan Ekonomi Kulit Hitam Afrika Selatan Tujuan: Studi ini mengkaji dampak kepemilikan manajerial terhadap kinerja perusahaan dan penerapan keragaman demografis kepemilikan dan kontrol perusahaan tercatat di pasar JSE.
