Global Trends in Board Diversity: A Bibliometric Analysis
Original language description
This study examines global trends in board diversity using bibliometric analysis, offering an overview of this research field. Board diversity, including gender, age, ethnicity, and other demographic factors, is increasingly relevant for corporate governance, CSR, and firm performance. Data from 3,536 English-language publications in the Web of Science database were analyzed. The bibliometric analysis involved evaluating publication trends by year and country, keyword mapping using VOSviewer software, and citation analysis of the most influential articles. Results highlight a growing interest in board diversity since 2010, with gender diversity as the most frequently studied aspect, often linked to the implementation of quotas. Key topics include the effects of gender diversity on governance, CSR and ESG integration, as well as financial impacts of board composition. The research is concentrated in Anglo-Saxon countries, notably the USA and the UK. Emerging trends reveal connections between diversity and sustainability, reflecting broader societal concerns. Despite advances, areas like ethnic and age diversity remain underexplored, offering opportunities for future research. This analysis confirms the multidimensional importance of board diversity for enhancing corporate governance and performance, while also identifying gaps in the current literature that warrant further investigation.
