Abstract

Zusammenfassung Theoretische und empirische Untersuchungen des Zusammenhangs zwischen Gender Diversity in Führungsteams und Unternehmensperformanz weisen inkonsistente Befunde auf. Vor diesem Hintergrund präsentiert der vorliegende Beitrag die Ergebnisse einer Metaanalyse zu der Frage, wie und in Abhängigkeit von welchen Randbedingungen eine gemischt-geschlechtliche Zusammensetzung von Führungsteams mit Unternehmensperformanz verbunden ist. Basierend auf 38 Einzelstudien kann kein signifikanter Zusammenhang zwischen Gender Diversity und Unternehmensperformanz insgesamt identifiziert werden. Zudem erweisen sich auch die untersuchten Moderatoren (Größe des Führungsteams, Branche, kultureller Kontext und Performanzkriterium) als nicht signifikant.
