“…This theory is typically linked to the conflict of interest result from the ownership separation (Fama & Jensen, 1983; Jensen & Meckling, 1976). The board diversity literature used it to explore topics such as board diversity influence on the agency conflict and performance of financial firms (Bektas & Kaymak, 2009; Boadi & Osarfo, 2019; Farag & Mallin, 2017; Ghosh, 2017; Kaymak & Bektas, 2008; Kusi, Gyeke‐Dako, Agbloyor, & Darku, 2018; Shettima & Dzolkarnaini, 2018; Talavera, Yin, & Zhang, 2018), CSR reporting quality of financial sector (Tapver, Laidroo, & Gurvitš‐Suits, 2020), CSR practices (Isabel María García‐Sánchez, Martínez‐Ferrero, & García‐Meca, 2018), environmental, social, and governance performance (Birindelli, Dell'Atti, Iannuzzi, & Savioli, 2018), mergers and acquisition performance (Chu, Teng, & Lee, 2016; Hagendorff et al, 2007; Hagendorff & Keasey, 2012), risk taking (Abou‐El‐Sood, 2019; De Vita & Luo, 2018; Yu et al, 2017), compensation policy (García‐Meca, 2016), audit fees (Nehme & Jizi, 2018), earnings management (Fan, Jiang, Zhang, & Zhou, 2019), determinants of banks' bailouts (Fernandes, Farinha, Martins, & Mateus, 2016), and banks' efficiency (Ramly, Chan, Mustapha, & Sapiei, 2017). It is noteworthy that the agency argument helps us to understand the supervisory role of the board members to monitor and control management activities, whereas multiple theoretical perspectives enable us to better interpret the other roles of the board of directors.…”

“…In an industry as heavily regulated and opaque as banking industry (Kaymak & Bektas, 2008), knowledge is a vital form of business capital, and financial companies' improvement involves a variety of perspective, experience, and insights that can be acquired by board diversity (Khatib et al, 2020; Onuorah, Osuji, & Ozurumba, 2019). The resource dependence theory has been applied in 17 quantitative studies that discuss several topics related to board diversity such as bank performance (Boadi & Osarfo, 2019; Farag & Mallin, 2017; Ghosh, 2017; Talavera et al, 2018), compensation policy (García‐Meca, 2016), CSR (Orazalin, 2019), bank efficiency (Adeabah, Gyeke‐Dako, & Andoh, 2019) (Ramly et al, 2017), earnings management (Fan et al, 2019), and accounting quality (García‐Sánchez, Martínez‐Ferrero, & García‐Meca, 2017).…”

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

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

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.

Weak governance framework in Indian public sector banks has paralyzed their performance with declining profitability and deteriorating asset quality. In order to tackle the governance issues in Public Sector Banks (PSBs), Indian government established Banks Board Bureau (BBB) in April 2016 to revamp the existing governance structure in PSBs. However, the issue management framework of establishing BBB is not immune to several challenges and has not been able to achieve its desired objectives. This paper looks at the weak governance issue in PSBs from an issue management perspective by using the famous Jones and Chase issue management framework. In light of this framework, the paper makes several recommendations to effectively address the governance challenges in PSBs in India. The findings of this paper may be useful for other emerging economies facing similar governance issues in their banking sector.

“…In their research, (Adams & Ferreira, 2009) argues that board that has diversity in gender would have a better monitoring and better performance. Those findings were supported by (Ghosh, 2016) that argues that woman in the boardroom would increase the stability of the bank in India. On another study, gender diversity believed could lead to an increase in firms' portfolio risk (Berger et al, 2014).…”

This paper aims to examine whether diversity in gender, nationality, and age in the board of directors of banks in Indonesia could affect the financial performance of those banks. We used conventional banks’ data in Indonesia in the year of 2014 to 2018 as a sample of this research. Based on the empirical result using fixed effect approach and the Generalized Methods of Moment (GMM) analysis, we find that diversity in gender in the board of directors does not affect the performance of banks in Indonesia. This could be the result of the little amount of female representative in the board of directors. In contrast diversity in age and diversity in nationality in the board of directors has an effect to the financial performance of banks in Indonesia. We used two measurement to represent financial performance in this study, which are measured by Tobin’s Q that represent measurement based on market and Return on Asset (ROA) that represent measurement based on accounting.
