Board characteristics and bank performance after the global financial and economic crisis – do people matter?

Abstract

The study focuses on the impact of board characteristics on the performance of major international banks following the global financial crisis of 2008. Aspects such as the stability of governance structures, gender equality policies, and the correlation between board composition and key success indicators are analyzed. The relationships between efficiency, age, and gender of board members are explored, emphasizing the significance of dynamics in these structures for successful financial institution management. The study refrains from explicitly mentioning specific banks, providing insights into the broader issues surrounding governance in the post-crisis banking sector.
