YÖNETİM KURULUNDA CİNSİYET ÇEŞİTLİLİĞİ VE FİNANSAL PERFORMANS İLİŞKİSİ: BİST 100 ŞİRKETLERİNDE BİR ARAŞTIRMA

Öz

Bu araştırmada Borsa İstanbul (BİST) 100 endeksinde faaliyet gösteren firmaların yönetim kurulu cinsiyet çeşitliliği ile finansal performansları arasındaki ilişki 2009-2012 yılları baz alınarak incelenmiştir. Çalışmada firmalar; kadın yönetim kurulu üyesi olanlar ve kadın yönetim kurulu üyesi olmayanlar olarak iki gruba ayrılmış ve söz konusu iki grup arasında muhasebe ve piyasa esaslı finansal performansları bakımından herhangi bir farklılığın olup olmadığı araştırılmıştır. Ampirik analizlerde çoklu regresyon ve t-testi yöntemlerinden yararlanılmıştır. Yapılan analiz sonucunda cinsiyet çeşitliliğinin varlık karlılığı üzerinde pozitif bir etkiye sahip olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Ancak cinsiyet çeşitliliğinin öz sermaye karlılığı ve Tobin’s Q üzerinde etkili olmadığı belirlenmiştir. Çalışma Türkiye’de yönetim kurullarında cinsiyet çeşitliliğinin firma performansına etkisi üzerine yapılan ilk çalışmalardan birisi olması açısından önem taşımaktadır
