Analysis of The Relationship Between Board of Directors and Performance: A Research on Nasdaq Technology Companies

Abstract

Board of directors is frequently examined in corporate governance literature. The main motivation for conducting these studies is to determine the structure of the board of directors that will positively affect both the financial and non-financial activity results of the business. In the studies, the relationship between the variables related to the structure of the board of directors and the performance variables is analyzed, as well as the variables showing the risk level of the business activities are analyzed. Although there are many studies examining the relationship between variables related to the structure of the board of directors and performance results, there is no consensus. For this reason, researchers agree on this view “one size does not fit all”, which explains that there will not be one correct structure for all businesses. These opinion studies paved the way for it to be done on a country, region, and sector basis. In this study, the relationship between the variables related to the board structure of technology companies in the Nasdaq-100 index and the return on assets (ROA), the return on equity (ROE), were analyzed. As a result of the analysis, the positive and significant relationship between the ratio of female members in the board of directors and the average age of the board of directors was determined with performance variables. There is a negative and significant relationship between the number of board members and performance variables. According to these results, having female members and experienced members without increasing the number of board members in technology companies contributes positively to financial performance.
