The estimated generalized least squares (EGLS) results reveal that two of the variables (SD and HHIS) are negatively significant with performance extremism; four variables (IAROA, IASR, CEOC and CEOT) are positively and statistically significant with it while BS, MNC, SUB, MASCORE and MARANK) are statistically not significant.
