“…This strand of literature finds the presence, in the credit market, of a taste-discrimination or glass ceiling against women (Cavalluzzo & Wolken, 2005;Calcagnini & Lenti, 2008;Calcagnini, Giombini & Lenti, 2012;Campanella & Serino, 2019a). Thus, female-managed firms are less likely to obtain a bank loan and furthermore, when they succeed in borrowing, they are charged higher interest rates (Arzu & Mantovani, 2016) or experience a higher level of denial than men (Campanella & Serino, 2019b). In this regard, the European Commission is working with European countries to and encourage women to start their own companies (Rubio-Bañón & Esteban-Lloret, 2016).…”

There is general agreement that personality factors are determinant elements for university students to decide an entrepreneurial career. This empirical study aims at assessing what behavioral aspects impact on the intentions of students, using a sample of 347 Italian undergraduates and the trait model as theoretical framework. Furthermore, we want to explore personality differences among female and male students, comparing their intentions towards an entrepreneurial career. Thus, we are motivated to explore the relationship between personal traits, gender and entrepreneurial intentions, using a mixed method. This paper provides a new model that helps to understand the students' entrepreneurial intentions by adding the gender role. The findings revealed that some personality traits affect Italian undergraduates in engaging an entrepreneurial activity. Our study concluded that men tend to have higher self-confidence than women and this may affect their entrepreneurial intentions. Hence, our results suggested that more in-depth analysis concerning the female entrepreneurship should be put in place.

“…Tadele et al (2022) supported this finding by reporting that female executive boards minimize MFI financial risk in Sub-Saharan Africa. When IRB performance is measured by ROA and ROE, as (Arzu and Mantovani, 2020) in EU enterprises, the study cannot indicate that female directors boost IRB performance. As a result, the study's findings embrace H5 , specifically for IRB performance as measured by NPF.…”

“…The size of the board of commissioners (BC_SIZE) is the total members of the BC. The female board of directors (BD_FEMALE) is the number of female members on the BD divided by the total members of the BD (Arzu and Mantovani, 2020). The female president director (PD_FEMALE) is a binary variable, which is given a value of 1 if the president director of IRB is female and a value of 0 if the president director of IRB is male (Tadele et al , 2022; Ting, 2021).…”

Purpose This study aims to examine the influence of ownership structure and board characteristics on the performance of Indonesian Islamic rural banks (IRB) using the system generalized method of moment model. Design/methodology/approach This research uses Indonesian IRB unbalanced annual panel data from 2016 to 2022. IRB performance is measured by return on assets (ROA), return on equity (ROE) and nonperforming financing (NPF). The ownership structure is represented by controlling shareholders, ownership of the board of directors (BD) and ownership of the board of commissioners (BC). Meanwhile, board characteristics are represented by the size of the BC, the proportion of female board directors and female president directors. Findings The results show that the ownership structure and board characteristics play an important role in improving the IRB’s performance. Technically, the results show that the size of the BC and the ownership of the BD increase all IRB performance measures. Female president directors and controlling shareholders improve IRB’s performance as measured by ROA and ROE. Women’s boards of directors improve IRB performance as measured by NPF. Meanwhile, the ownership of the BC does not show its effect on all IRB performance measures. Research limitations/implications This study fills a literature gap on the influence of ownership structure and board characteristics on IRB Indonesia’s performance. In addition, it adds understanding and insight for Islamic bank regulators, management and IRB depositors in Indonesia. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is one of the first to provide an empirical survey on the influence of controlling shareholders and board characteristics on IRB performance, particularly in Indonesia.

“…In future research, it would be interesting to examine the impact of gender on social performance, i.e. the impact of the presence of women on the management boards of IBs, because Arzu and Mantovani (2020) found that gender differences can explain similar governance phenomena.…”

Purpose Explaining the sources of the differences in social performance among Islamic banks (IBs) is the motivation for this research. Consequently, the purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between the development of Islamic finance regulation, the development of an Islamic financial system, the proportions of affected Muslim populations and the level of competition, on the one hand, and the social performance of IBs, on the other. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first study that investigates the impact of the development of regulation and the Islamic financial system on the social performance of IBs. Design/methodology/approach A balanced panel of annual data for 40 banks from 13 countries is applied, spanning 2012–2018. A social performance index with eight dimensions is constructed and measures the social performance of IBs. The index based on qualitative and quantitative data derives from IBs’ annual reports and financial statements. The linear scaling transformation method articulates the quantitative dimensions of the index. In hypotheses testing, the authors use OLS, LSDV, FEM and Random Effect Model to estimate Model (1) and panel-corrected standard errors with Prais–Winsten transformation to estimate Model (2). Findings This unique research confirms the positive impact of the development of Islamic finance regulation on the social performance of IBs. The results show that the development of Islamic finance regulation is consistently significant on all standard significance levels. IBs’ age and the presence of Muslim populations in the country are also significant in most estimators. Research limitations/implications The results of this research highlight a significant value for regulators, shareholders and the management of IBs. Without proper regulation, these banks can hardly operate under the principles and expectations of the Islamic moral economy. Originality/value This is pioneering research that explores the development of Islamic finance regulation and market concentration as a determinant of social performance of IBs. Development of Islamic finance regulation has proved significant in all estimated models, which confirms that a new variable has been discovered among determinants of the social performance of IBs.
