Gender diversity on board of directors and its impact on firm performance
ACC4022 - Financial Accounting
7 Pages • Essays / Projects • Year Uploaded: 2021
The changing business environment is risky and uncertain and may impact firm performance. Therefore, firms require sound boards to smooth the functioning of the organisation and improve their competitive positions. Boards are expected to outtake different functions but most importantly are known for their monitoring and controlling functions. (Hillman et al., 2000; Hillman and Dalziel, 2003) The global labour market has been criticized for discriminating against women and providing unequal treatments which in turn affects the efficiency of the economy. A major part of the issue is related to gender diversity in the boardroom. Historically, boards are fairly homogeneous and have been characterised with poor corporate governance structures (Brammer et al., 2007; Gregory-Smith et al., 2014). The business case for gender diversity has attained growing interest in the past few years, and was emphasized significantly following corporate failures and scandals. It is believed that economic performance and social equality may enhance as gender parity on corporate boards increases. However, there is a lack of empirical evidence showing the benefits of the phenomena.
