A simple and multiple regression analysis methods have been used to reveal the relationship between the variables of the study with the optimal model proposal. The study concluded that external governance mechanisms are applied by the Algerian economic institutions. Hence, the paper found that there is a significant statistical correlation between the external governance mechanisms and the rate of return on assets, and there is a significant statistical correlation between the external governance mechanisms and the rate of return on property rights. A significant statistical correlation between the external governance mechanisms and the rate of return on sales is demonstrated.
