The Impact of the Board of Directors’ Size on the Bank’s Performance: Evidence from Turkey

Abstract

The present study investigates the impact of board of directors ’ size on bank performance on a sample of 12 banks’ data that were involved in the Istanbul Stock Exchange (ISE) over the period 2005-2010. We mostly used the methods of regression and correlation in conducting the analyses of the research. The findings of the conducted analyses show negative and statistically significant results between such accounting-based performance indicators as Return on Assets (ROA) along with Return on Equity (ROE) and the banks ’ board of directors ’ size. The research also reveals the evidence of negative and statistically non-significant results between Tobin's Q as a market-based performance indicator and boards ’ size. At the same time the research identifies positive relationship between ROA and ROE with banks ’ "Free Float Ratio”, whereas on the contrary, the relationship between ROA and ROE with "Number of Employees per Branch and Risk " is negative.
