Investigating gender diversity on the performance of companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange

The purpose of this research is to investigate the role of gender diversity of the board of directors on the performance of companies. The obtained information related to the research variables was entered into an Excel spreadsheet and then analyzed using Eviuse software. The statistical population of this research is based on the method of systematic elimination among 226 companies admitted to the Tehran Stock Exchange during the period of 1391 to 1400. The statistical results did not have enough support to prove the relationship between gender diversity and financial performance. The obtained results were different from the results of foreign researches. It seems that the frequency distribution and the small number of women's presence among the members of the company's board of directors, from a statistical point of view, cannot prove the hypothesis of Peugeot Heshgar.
