This study investigates the impact of gender diversity in corporate leadership on business performance, using a panel of 570 publicly listed firms from six industries over five years. It employs fixed-effects regression, instrumental-variable estimation, and dynamic system models to assess whether greater female representation among executives correlates with enhanced financial, operational, and market outcomes. The analysis includes key performance metrics such as return on equity, earnings per share, revenue growth, total shareholder return, and economic value added, with control variables including firm size, leverage, board independence, and market volatility. The findings reveal a robust positive relationship between increased female executive participation and improved firm performance, particularly in knowledge-intensive sectors such as technology and healthcare. These results suggest that gender-inclusive leadership structures not only promote social equity but also contribute meaningfully to corporate financial health and market competitiveness, offering a strategic advantage for firms focused on long-term value creation and governance resilience.

摘要

This study investigates the impact of gender diversity in corporate leadership on business performance, using a panel of 570 publicly listed firms from six industries over five years. It employs fixed-effects regression, instrumental-variable estimation, and dynamic system models to assess whether greater female representation among executives correlates with enhanced financial, operational, and market outcomes. The analysis includes key performance metrics such as return on equity, earnings per share, revenue growth, total shareholder return, and economic value added, with control variables including firm size, leverage, board independence, and market volatility. The findings reveal a robust positive relationship between increased female executive participation and improved firm performance, particularly in knowledge-intensive sectors such as technology and healthcare. These results suggest that gender-inclusive leadership structures not only promote social equity but also contribute meaningfully to corporate financial health and market competitiveness, offering a strategic advantage for firms focused on long-term value creation and governance resilience.
