摘要: 目前,全球董事会性别多元化进程虽取得一定进展,但仍面临显著挑战。中国上市公司女性董事相较于全球平均水平仍有较大差距,且女性在关键职位中的代表比例更低。但女性董事通过其独特的风险规避倾向、审慎决策风格及强化监督动机,积极参与公司治理并发挥多维度作用。因此,本文以中国资本市场为背景,选用2015~2024年A股上市公司作为样本,研究女性董事对现金持有调整的影响,以目标现金持有水平为界限进一步分析女性董事更侧重调整哪个方向的现金持有差异;细化地区、行业和内部治理环境的情形,研究不同情境下女性董事差异化的治理效能,丰富理论研究。
Abstract: The global trend towards gender diversity on corporate boards has seen progress, yet significant challenges persist. Female directors in Chinese listed companies remain significantly underrepresented compared to the global average, particularly in key leadership positions. However, through their distinct risk aversion, prudent decision-making, and strong monitoring incentives, female directors actively contribute to corporate governance in multiple dimensions. Against this backdrop, this study investigates the impact of female directors on cash adjustment speed in China’s A-share listed companies from 2015 to 2024. Using target cash holdings as a benchmark, we further analyze whether female directors exhibit a stronger influence on adjusting cash deficits or surpluses. The study also examines how their governance effectiveness varies across regions, industries, and internal governance environments, thereby enriching the theoretical understanding of their role.
