Abstract

Manuscript TypeEmpirical.Research Question/IssueWe examine how the combined presence of women in multiple levels of strategic leadership, including gender‐diverse boards, affects firm accounting performance.Research Findings/InsightsOur meta‐analysis of 273 effect sizes across various hypotheses expands research on women in upper echelons by showing that gender‐diverse boards are positively related to gender spillovers, that is, the appointment of female executives. Most importantly, our work demonstrates that gender spillovers mediate the relationship between board gender diversity and firm performance, indicating there are joint effects of women leaders when serving at various levels of the organization simultaneously. We also find that the size of gender‐diverse boards negatively affects gender spillovers to the level of executives.Theoretical/Academic ImplicationsOur research highlights interdependencies between gender diversity at different organizational levels and the distinct contribution of women directors. We draw attention to the role of gender spillovers as a mechanism that helps explain how the appointment of women directors benefits firm performance. Our findings broadly contribute to upper echelons theory.Practitioner/Policy ImplicationsThis study emphasizes that increasing the representation of women on boards can advance the cause of women at other levels of strategic leadership. Furthermore, if women are in multiple levels of strategic leadership at the same time, this can lead to improved firm performance.
多层次战略领导层中的女性:性别溢出效应的证据
研究结果/见解我们对各种假设的 273 个效应大小进行了元分析,结果表明,性别多元化董事会与性别溢出效应(即女性高管的任命)呈正相关,从而扩展了有关女性高层的研究。最重要的是,我们的研究表明,性别溢出效应是董事会性别多元化与公司业绩之间关系的中介,这表明女性领导者同时在组织的不同层面任职会产生联合效应。我们还发现,性别多元化董事会的规模会对高管层面的性别溢出效应产生负面影响。 理论/学术意义我们的研究强调了不同组织层面的性别多元化与女性董事的独特贡献之间的相互依存关系。我们提请人们注意性别溢出效应作为一种机制的作用,它有助于解释任命女性董事如何有利于公司业绩。本研究强调,提高女性在董事会中的代表性可以促进女性在其他战略领导层的发展。此外,如果女性同时担任多个层面的战略领导职务,也会提高公司业绩。

期刊介绍: The mission of Corporate Governance: An International Review is to publish cutting-edge international business research on the phenomena of comparative corporate governance throughout the global economy. Our ultimate goal is a rigorous and relevant global theory of corporate governance. We define corporate governance broadly as the exercise of power over corporate entities so as to increase the value provided to the organization"s various stakeholders, as well as making those stakeholders accountable for acting responsibly with regard to the protection, generation, and distribution of wealth invested in the firm. Because of this broad conceptualization, a wide variety of academic disciplines can contribute to our understanding.
