dc.description.abstract | The successes and failures of
organizations are contingent on the
decisions of senior management and
its board of directors. Personality
and experiences may have a
tangible effect on the decision
making process. This study assesses
whether or not gender has a
tangible effect on an organization’s
decisions. A sample of Fortune
500 companies were examined to
determine whether companies with
a higher proportion of women on
their boards of directors are more
socially responsible. In general,
a diversity of people generates a
diverse set of opinions that impacts
and improves the decision-making
process. Our expectation was
that gender diversity will increase
socially responsible behavior by a
corporation. The results of this study
confirm our research question; an
association was found between the
number of female directors on a
corporate board and the incidence
of corporate social behavior
including: charitable giving,
community involvement, and outside
recognition of employee benefits. | en |
