Female directors and corporate reputation

Abstract: This article analyzes the relationship between female directors and corporate reputation with a Spanish sample for the period 2008–2017. We also examine two background characteristics of women directors: their busyness and their educational background, suggesting that differences can exist among women according to their level of success (measured by the number of directorships) and their education. Our analyses show that female directors improve corporate reputation, but that neither women with multiple direct… Show more

Studies in the past have evidenced that independent directors with several board positions are far more efficient at spotting earnings manipulation and enhancing business performance.…”

These advantages include the enhancement of networking capabilities, increased access to potential business prospects, and a more profound comprehension of prevailing industry patterns (Navarro-García et al, 2022). Nevertheless, (Fich and Shivdasani, 2012;Aguilera and Crespi-Cladera, 2016) found a negative association between the performance of a firm and the board's activity, i.e., enterprises with busy boards had poorer operational profitability than firms with less active boards.…”
