Resumo(s)
This thesis investigates how corporate governance mechanisms shape board gender diversity and whether such diversity affects firm performance in Iberian listed companies. Using a mixed-methods design, the thesis combines two panel-data regressions (2020–2024) with a
survey of 180 professionals to provide complementary evidence. Findings show that Gender Quotas and Board Independence are the strongest drivers of female board representation, while structural governance features have limited influence. In contrast, Board Gender Diversity exhibits no significant association with Tobin’s Q, whereas Profitability, Leverage, Firm Size and Country effects dominate. The results highlight that regulatory pressures increase representation, but cultural and organizational barriers constrain substantive influence.
