Sex bias in the boardroom
研究分析了董事会委员会组成中的性别偏见,发现男性董事更可能被选入与公司治理相关的委员会,而女性董事仅更可能被选入公共事务委员会。
The article reports on a study by Diana Bilimoria of Case Western Reserve University and Sandy Kristin Piderit of the University of Michigan which focused on the composition of board committees and possible sex bias. The researchers examined five characteristics for selecting committee members such as whether the director had insider or outsider status and if there were business or nonbusiness interlocks. They found that male directors were favored for membership on three committees that related to corporate governance and female directors were favored only for the public affairs committee.
