Gender Diversity and Inequality Team Dynamics and Performance Gender Politics and Representation

Abstract

AbstractOur study extends the upper echelon framework to gender diversity in top management teams (TMTs), a topic that has received littleattention in management. We study the direct impact of representation of women on TMTs on organizational performance. We also study themoderating effects of environmental characteristics on the TMT women–performance linkage. In a sample of 679 firms from the 1998Fortune 1000 list, our results show a positive relationship between the proportion of women on TMTs and organizational performance. Themoderating effects of environmental characteristics, namely, munificence, dynamism, and complexity, are not supported. These results revealthat the role played by top women managers transcends the demands of the environment. Our study has implications for the careerdevelopment of women. In addition, our results have the potential to generalize to managers from other nationalities.D 2004 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
