Age diversity was calculated using the coefficient of variation, and the bank’s performance was measured as return on assets and return on equity. The frequency of directors’ meetings was used as a proxy for the effectiveness of TMT meetings.\u0000\u0000\u0000Findings\u0000Based on the hierarchical regression analysis, the results do not support the hypothesis that there is a negative influence between age diversity on performance.

The subsequent research could use cross-country bank samples. In addition, the research uses age-related diversity variables only.
