摘要

In the field of organizational behaviour, the effects of board gender diversity on corporate performance have been discussed controversially. This chapter summarizes theoretical arguments and empirical evidence for both the business and the moral justice cases for gender diversity in corporate boards. In addition, boundary conditions are considered under which beneficial effects of board gender diversity are more likely to occur (i.e., gender parity, gender quotas, and CEO leadership style). Further, the relevance of international research on board gender diversity for the German-speaking countries is discussed.
