摘要

本研究利用来自 29 个非洲国家的公司层面数据，探讨了商业环境在高层管理者性别与公司业绩之间的调节作用。在控制了内生性和国家固定效应后，我们发现女性管理的公司业绩普遍低于男性管理的公司业绩，但女性管理者表现突出的大型公司除外。薄弱的商业环境加剧了业绩差距，这凸显了改革以缩小非洲管理者性别差距的必要性。加强商业环境对于提高女性领导的公司业绩，进而促进非洲商业领导中的性别平等至关重要。

Gender of a manager and firm performance in Africa: Does the business environment play a moderating role?

This study explores the moderating role of the business environment in the relationship between top manager gender and firm performance, using firm-level data from 29 African countries. Controlling for endogeneity and country fixed effects, we find that female-managed firms generally underperform male-managed firms, except among large firms where female managers excel. The performance gap is exacerbated by a weak business environment, highlighting the need for reforms to close the managerial gender gap in Africa. Strengthening the business environment is essential for improving female-led firm performance and by extension promoting gender equality in African business leadership.

期刊介绍： The Journal aims to publish the best research on international development issues in a form that is accessible to practitioners and policy-makers as well as to an academic audience. The main focus is on the social sciences - economics, politics, international relations, sociology and anthropology, as well as development studies - but we also welcome articles that blend the natural and social sciences in addressing the challenges for development. The Journal does not represent any particular school, analytical technique or methodological approach, but aims to publish high quality contributions to ideas, frameworks, policy and practice, including in transitional countries and underdeveloped areas of the Global North as well as the Global South.
