“…One paper is a review and the remaining three studies are non‐empirical and focus on the following: progress of ethnic diversity United Kingdom's top corporate boardrooms (Singh, 2007), the political effect on the international financial system (Degtyarev, 2016), and bank board regulation (Enriques & Zetzsche, 2015). Of 87 quantitative research studies, four studies employ survey data (Al‐Tamimi & Charif, 2013; Jamali, Safieddine, & Daouk, 2007; Pearce, 1995), whereas the others use archival data (84 papers), and one paper exploits a combination of archival and survey data (García‐Meca et al, 2015).…”

“…Three survey studies include sample observations from 43 correspondent (Al‐Tamimi & Charif, 2013), 61 correspondent (Jamali et al, 2007), and 125 correspondent, whereas archival researches with firm‐level data involve observations from at least five banks (Shungu, Ngirande, & Ndlovu, 2014), or at most 6,729 banks (Palvia et al, 2014).…”

“…Olaniyi and Obembe (2017) contend that CEOs' tenure, bank size, and previous CEOs' pay are the main drivers of board composition. Also, Al‐Tamimi and Charif (2013) used survey data and found evidence that the role of directors is determined by their governance awareness, education background, experience, and compensation. Due to the lack of empirical work in this area, further work is warranted.…”

Nudging toward diversity in the boardroom: A systematic literature review of board diversity of financial institutions

et al. 2020

Going beyond the mere gender diversity in the boardroom, this systematic review comprehensively covers the research on board diversity of financial institutions. More specifically, we cover gender diversity, as well as other characteristics of diversity, such as nationality, age, tenure, experience, education, ethnicity, and religion. A systematic literature review was employed using Scopus and Web of Science databases, covering all publications until May 2020, which resulted in 91 studies from 66 top‐ranked journals in accounting, finance, and economic fields. We analyze them based on the journal, methodology, research construct questions, and theoretical perspectives. Our results highlight the substantial knowledge gaps and the inconsistent findings of prior studies on several aspects of the field, suggesting avenues for further studies in terms of research designs, settings, scope, and theories. We argue that there is a need to explore other board diversity attributes rather than focusing on the gender diversity of the boards of financial institutions to achieve sustainable development. Also, more work is outlined on topics related to board diversity of financial firms that receive limited attention from scholars, such as (but not limited to) environmental performance, capital structure, intellectual capital, innovation and earnings quality of financial institutions, as well as the indirect effect of policy settings.
