Abstract:

This paper delves into the realm of demographic diversity within corporate boards, specifically focusing on the dimensions of gender diversity and board nationality. Demographic diversity encompasses a range of attributes including gender, nationality, ethnicity, interlocks, and political connections of board directors. Gender diversity, characterized by the proportional representation of women on corporate boards, has emerged as a pivotal area of interest for researchers and policymakers worldwide. The presence of women directors varies across countries and continents, prompting a growing int

Abstract:

Purpose Demographic faultlines are associated with negative group processes and low performance. Little is known about the formation of faultlines in boards and how they can be weakened to capitalize on the positive effects of diversity.

Subsequently, it proposes and tests a U-shaped board size–faultlines strength relationship. Archival data were collected on 288 organizations listed on the Australian Securities Exchange. Fin

In light of the previously discovered discrepancies between the gender, age, time, and education variety of employees and the efficiency of Egyptian banks' banking operations, the purpose of this article is to examine the linear and nonlinear connections between these variables (BANKS). Research found that the number of board members (board gender, age, time, and education) has a positive linear correlation with corporate performance.

Value-creating boards also have evolved processes, such as an objective nomination process, periodic evaluations of the board and its members and their ability to work as a team.

While a number of previous studies have examined how the demographic diversity of corporate board members influences firm performance and diversity policies, we know little about its effects on employee attitudes.

A cross-sectional survey was conducted from September 2019 to January 2020 collecting demographic characteristics of the members of a pediatric health system's 17 PFACs. Of the 93 respondents (71.5%), notable inequities were racial (4.8% adult PFAC members vs. 17.4% patients were Black) and financial (adult PFAC median annual

Utilizing the concepts of team mental models and sensemaking, a theoretically grounded model of board effectiveness is developed, wherein the propositions predict the causality and effect of the socio-cognitive and sensemaking processes on board

This paper reports on the interaction of compositional effects of boards of directors (BoD) and top management teams (TMTs) on firms’ financial performance. Composition of both groups is investigated for cultural, age, tenure and gender diversity. We explore effects of demographic diversity in the two power groups on performance in interaction with each other by bringing in the similarity-attraction paradigm to argue for the relationship. Study data are from consolidated financial statements in annual reports of listed Swedish corporations. Our findings suggest that while differences in gender

Abstract:

We examine whether board demographic diversity enhances cognitive diversity (measured as director dissent in the boardroom) and monitoring. At the director level, we find that individual directors who are dissimilar relative to other board members in terms of tenure and experience are more likely to dissent. At the board level, boards composed of directors with heterogenous tenure, experience, and gender are more likely to dissent. We also find that stock market reactions to director resignation announcements are more negative for directors who have ever dissented than for other directors. Mor

Our contribution lies in exploring loci and reach of leadership diversity’s influence on proximal and distal performance outcomes to understand how and where these can be mobilized. Our moderated-mediation modeling decomposes the direct, indirect, and interaction effects of demographic diversity among three types of focal actors in governance—Boards (gender-, age-, and ethno-racial variety), Board Chairs (gender and ethno-racial demography), Chief Executives (gender and ethno-racial demography)—on five factors reflecting functional and social dimensions of Board Performance and two dimensions

PurposeOwnership structure plays a significant role in determining board demographic diversity. However, it is still unclear how different ownership configurations impact the structures of firm's boards and how board diversity influences firm performance. This study aims to investigate the relationship between family ownership and board diversity. Therefore, in this study, the authors argue that family firms have a lower level of board demographic diversity (in terms of age, gender and nationality) than non-family firms and that board diversity moderates the relationship between ownership and

AbstractUsing management, finance and social psychology theories, we challenge the common perception that demographic diversity on boards of directors is unequivocally beneficial for firms. Employing a sample of 3826 UK firm‐years, we analyse the dual nature of nationality diversity, recognizing its potential to contribute expertise and reduce groupthink, while also posing risks of conflict and reduced cohesion. We construct measures of the positive and negative aspects of diversity to provide robust evidence that nationality diversity‐as‐variety within a board of directors is positively assoc
