Abstract
The Cadbury Report (1992), a pioneer in outlining the financial aspects of corporate governance, was the first to put the spotlight on corporate boards of directors. Around the same time, academic work started to gain impetus with the Hermalin and Weisbach (1991) study. The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between the number of members of the board of directors with accounting and market-based performance indicators empirical research in the national and international literature. For this purpose, all studies conducted in the early 1990s up to the present day are classified examined in a systematic way. A significant part of the board of directors of the studies indicated a negative relationship between financial performance.

Abstract
Şirket yönetim kurullarının mercek altına alınması, kurumsal yönetimin finansal boyutunu ilk kez ortaya koyan Cadbury (1992) raporu ile gerçekleşmiştir. Bu alandaki akademik çalışmalar aynı dönemde Hermalin ve Weisbach (1991)’ın çalışmaları ile hız kazanmıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı ulusal ve uluslararası literatürde yönetim kurulu üye sayısı ile muhasebe ve piyasa esaslı performans göstergeleri arasındaki ilişkiyi inceleyen ampirik araştırmaları irdelemektir. Bu amaçla 1990’lı yılların başından günümüze kadar yapılmış olan bütün çalışmalar sistematik bir şekilde incelenerek sınıflandırılmıştır. Yapılan çalışmaların önemli bir bölümünde yönetim kurulu büyüklüğü artışı ile finansal performans arasında negatif ilişkiler tespit edilmiştir.
