This paper aims to study the determinants of banking performance from human equality perspective. Banking is a service industry which heavily depends on the human resources. Therefore, the research will focus on the diversity of employees and board member in determining the financial performance. We have analysed 2 ratios which are the gender diversity of total employees and gender diversity in board members. The dependent variable is Return on Asset (ROA). We use linear regression. The samples are 11 banks which are categorized under book 4 and book 3 as per Indonesia Central Bank. The empirical result shows that the board member diversity significantly influences the banking performance. However, the diversity has negative influence on the banking performance.

“…In contrast, in Slovenia, women entrepreneurs are very well supported by the government; however, they do not use these opportunities enough. It is also noted that they are behind the men which is associated to aspirations, educational background and career choice (Širec and Mocnik, 2016; Tominc and Rebernik, 2006, 2007).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper was to investigate gender differences in entrepreneurship development. Design/methodology/approach A quantitative study consisted of an on-line questionnaire administered to a random sample of 206 owner-manager CEOs across Bosnia and Herzegovina. Various statistical tools were used in the analysis. Findings Empirical results revealed significant differences in entrepreneurial performance between women and men. It was found that gender significantly affects entrepreneurial activities in firms with regards to innovativeness, proactiveness and risk-taking. Overall, female respondents scored better in entrepreneurial dimensions than did males. Practical implications The state should support female entrepreneurship in the long term; aspirations exist, and this study’s results reveal this potential. Furthermore, it is recommended that women take a part in entrepreneurship development – a key to economic development. Also, it is suggested that education in entrepreneurship should be at a higher level than is currently the case. Originality/value This paper is the first empirical study that examines gender issues in entrepreneurship in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The study draws practical implications for current business owners, CEOs and potential entrepreneurs of either gender. This research removes stereotypes about female aspirations, competencies and skills in creating new start-ups and ventures, which in the long term will contribute to the economic development.

“…Drnovsek (2004) examined job creation and found that small firms have been the most significant employer in the transition period from a labour-managed system to a market-based economy. Sirec and Mo cnik (2016) have shown that the use of leverage (debt) for growth decreases profits for both male-and female-owned Slovenian firms. In another study of 782 Slovenian HGFs, Sirec and Mo cnik (2014) found that sales growth is negatively related to both profitability and firm size.…”

The paper analyses high-growth firms in Slovenia over two threeyear periods: 2007-2010 and 2011-2014. The analysis has been carried out for four stylised facts on high-growth firms established in the literature: (1) growth-rate distributions are heavy-tailed; (2) different growth indicators select different high-growth firms; (3) a small share of high-growth firms generates a large share of jobs; and (4) high-growth firms are not more common in hightech industries. The results find the growth-rate distributions to be heavy-tailed, but also somewhat asymmetric and thicker than the Laplace tails. The paper shows that different indicators indeed select different high-growth firms, which is especially evident when comparing employment-and revenue-based selected firms. Furthermore, Slovenia has a smaller share of high-growth firms compared to more developed countries like the United Kingdom and Sweden; however, this smaller share of firms does contribute to a large share of jobs created, but the effect is not as large as in more developed countries. The analysis also confirms the significant effect of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises on overall job creation. Finally, only a small portion of high-growth firms can be found in high-tech sectors in Slovenia.
