- Kapitelvorschau:
Die vorliegende Studie untersucht die Entwicklung der Frauenrepräsentation in schweizerischen Geschäftsleitungen und deren Auswirkungen auf die finanzielle Unternehmensleistung. Der Frauenanteil in schweizerischen Geschäftsleitungen ist von 2005 bis 2024 signifikant gestiegen. Bei der Untersuchung des Zusammenhangs zwischen nennenswerter Frauenrepräsentation und Unternehmensleistung in Bezug auf Eigenkapitalrendite und Umsatzwachstum wurde kein signifikanter Effekt gefunden. Jedoch zeigt die Zerlegung der Eigenkapitalrendite mittels DuPont-Analyse, dass nennenswerte Frauenrepräsentation (oberstes Quartil, >14,3 %) mit höheren Gewinnmargen und geringerem Leverage verbunden ist, wobei diese Zusammenhänge von der Schwellenwertspezifikation abhängig sind. Zusätzliche Analysen deuten darauf hin, dass diese Leistungsauswirkungen im Laufe der Zeit ausgeprägter geworden sind.
