Abstract

This chapter shows that women directors have a significant role in bringing attendance punctuality. We examine whether the appointment of at least one woman director on the boards of prescribed classes of companies enhances board-level attendance culture as an outcome. We proxy the collective attendance culture of the board to the board’s effectiveness akin to prior literature. Using a set of listed banks from 2010 to 2020, we empirically show that gender diversity on board positively influences attendance behavior and fosters an improved board-level attendance culture in Indian banks. The results are more striking for the private banks in India. Our study adds to the ongoing debate on the economic rationale of having regulations mandating gender quotas on board and corporate governance in banks, especially in the context of an emerging economy.
