        Purpose: The results of previous research have shown that the use of short-term debts can ultimately cause unfavorable financial performance of the company in the long term. Behavioral finance theories also state that in the decision-making of managers and investors, in addition to information, a series of viewpoints and psychological factors also influence their decisions. The purpose of this research is to investigate the effect of CEO narcissism on the maturity structure of debts. Methodology: Using the data of 85 companies listed in the Tehran Stock Exchange, in the period of 2018 to 2022, the hypotheses were tested using multiple regression. Findings After statistical analysis, the results of the research hypotheses indicate that CEO narcissism has a positive and significant effect on the maturity structure of debts. In this research, two indicators of managers' bonus ratio and the size of CEO signatures were used to measure CEO narcissism. Originality: The results of research hypotheses indicate that CEO narcissism has a positive and significant effect on debt maturity structure. This means that with the increase of narcissism of managers, the use of short-term debt increases. Narcissistic managers try to match the asset structure and the debt maturity structure in order to pay the debts. Hence, in the period under their management, the maturity period of the debt structure is reduced when the company can increase its profits. Manuscript profile

        Comparability is also one of the key quality features of accounting information that facilitates the comparison of financial statements, comparability in the capital market and debt is very important for investors and creditors; Because investment and lending decisions are based on evaluating alternative opportunities or projects, without this comparable information, no optimal decision can be made. Due to the importance of this issue, in this study, the effect of comparability of financial statements on debt maturity structure with emphasis on the role of managers' overconfidence in the Tehran Stock Exchange in the period 2014 to 2020 using the information of 144 companies using the generalized least squares and generalized moment procedure regression has been investigated. The research method is applied, descriptive and with deductive-inductive approach. To measure the comparability of financial statements, the model of De Franco et al. (2011) and following the research of Ahmed and Duellman (2013) to measure managers' overconfidence, over-investment has been used. The results using both methods show that the comparability of financial statements reduces the debt maturity structure and managers' overconfidence leads to an increase in the debt maturity structure. Managers' overconfidence also increases the negative relationship between the comparability of financial statements and debt maturity structure and increases its severity. Manuscript profile
