摘要

Women's under-representation on corporate boards is a matter of unprecedented scrutiny and debate in both academic and practitioner circles. In Europe, we recently witnessed concerted political efforts to address this issue. Following Norway's introduction of gender board quotas in 2003, Justice Commissioner Viviane Redding proposed a similar quota of 40 per cent women on all European Union boards by 2020. While the law is still undergoing the parliamentary approval process, it has already changed the conversation by injecting a sense of urgency among corporations and policymakers. Countries such as France, Spain, Italy and Germany have introduced compulsory measures, while the UK has made significant progress with voluntary measures based on the Davies Review (Vinnicombe et al., 2015). These changes are gradually cementing a shared appreciation for the importance of gender-balanced boards. Despite encouraging headways, figures for women on boards remain low (between 5 and 24 per cent) in countries that have not adopted compulsory measures (Vinnicombe et al., 2008,2015). In countries that have introduced compulsory measures, there has been controversy around the effect of such measures on genuinely broadening opportunities for women beyond established corporate elite circles (Seierstad and Opsahl, 2011). Therefore, it remains vital that scholars provide an in-depth understanding of what might obstruct or accelerate the shift towards more gender-balanced boards and how women directors can thrive on boards once appointed.
