The amount of operating cash flows is one of the main indicators for evaluating the extent to which the operations of the business unit have generated sufficient cash flows to repay loans, maintain the operational capacity of the business unit, and pay dividends, and make new investments possible without relying on financial resources outside the business unit, and examining the factors affecting it is important for the company. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to study the effect of board size on the relationship between managerial shortsightedness and operating cash flow.
