Abstract

This research synthesizes the literature that investigated the influence of WOCB on various firm outcomes. We organize our review around the meaning of WOCB, the sources of WOCB influence, the outcomes of WOCB impact, and contextual factors. In general, 503 articles with 558 predominantly panel studies show that the relationships of WOCB to various outcomes (particularly corporate social responsibility, firm transparency and gender equity) are beneficial but varied. Integrating prior views, we provide a framework leveraging political capital and board capital perspectives. The framework centers focus on the power and influence of WOCB, and distinguishes the sources of power from the exercise of power, board functions from organizational outcomes, and capital valuation contingencies from incentives to engage in board roles. Studies measuring political capital, which we identify as sources of WOCB’s influence, document the beneficial associations of a critical mass of 30–33% women, assigning women to board committees and women’s enhanced power resulting from multiple directorships and knowledge capital. Studies examining contextual factors show that societal gender equity, the presence of women in top management, and WOCB’s independence strengthen WOCB’s correlations with beneficial outcomes. These features facilitate interpretation of the mixed findings, identify limitations, and suggest directions for future research.

妇女在公司董事会中的影响:从政治资本的角度进行综合评述
本研究综述了研究世界经营预算对企业各种结果的影响的文献。我们围绕世界企业成本预算的含义、世界企业成本预算影响的来源、世界企业成本预算影响的结果以及背景因素组织我们的综述。总体而言,503 篇文章和 558 项主要的面板研究表明,世界成本效益准则与各种结果(尤其是企业社会责任、企业透明度和性别平等)之间的关系是有益的,但也是多样的。综合之前的观点,我们提供了一个利用政治资本和董事会资本视角的框架。该框架将重点放在世界经营者委员会的权力和影响力上,并将权力来源与权力行使、董事会职能与组织成果、资本估值或然性与参与董事会角色的激励因素区分开来。对政治资本(我们将其确定为世界有组织犯罪委员会的影响力来源)的衡量研究记录了女性比例达到 30-33% 的临界值、女性进入董事会委员会以及女性因担任多个董事职位和知识资本而增强的权力等有益关联。对环境因素的研究表明,社会性别平等、高层管理中的女性存在以及世界奥林匹克理事会的独立性加强了世界奥林匹克理事会与有益结果的相关性。这些特点有助于解释混合研究结果,找出局限性,并为今后的研究指明方向。
