Abstract

The recent financial crisis has increased interest in investigating the relationship between various corporate governance mechanisms and firm performance. Nevertheless, few studies focus on analyzing this nexus for the banking sector. The current study aims to determine the change in the structure of the board of directors in the Turkish banking sector in the period after the global financial crisis (2009-2016) and to determine whether the diversity in boardroom influences the bank performance. For this purpose, average return on assets, average return on equity and pre-tax profit/total assets ratios are employed in the measurement of bank performance while size, gender, nationality, level of education and whether or not board members are independent are used in relation to the board structure. Findings revealed a negative and statistically significant relationship between board size and bank performance. On the other hand, it is found that there is a positive nexus between the proportion of female members and the proportion of members who have postgraduate degree and bank performance. Besides, there is a negative relationship between bank performance and the proportion of foreign and independent members.

Özet

Son finansal kriz, çeşitli kurumsal yönetim mekanizmaları ile firma performansı arasındaki ilişkilerin analizine yönelik ilgiyi artırmıştır. Buna karşın, bu ilişki bankacılık sektörü için çok az çalışmada ele alınmıştır. Mevcut çalışma, küresel finans krizi sonrası dönemde (2009-2016), Türk bankalarının yönetim kurulu yapısındaki değişimi ortaya çıkarmayı ve yönetim kurulu çeşitliğinin banka performansı üzerinde etkili olup olmadığını tespit etmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda, banka performansının ölçümünde ortalama aktif karlılık, ortalama özkaynak karlılığı ile vergi öncesi kar/toplam aktifler oranları kullanılırken, yönetim kurulu yapısı ile ilgili olarak büyüklük, cinsiyet, uyruk, eğitim seviyesi ile bağımsız olup olmama kriterleri dikkate alınmıştır. Bulgular, yönetim kurulu büyüklüğü ile banka performansı arasında negatif ve istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki olduğunu ortaya çıkarmıştır. Öte yandan, kadın üyelerin oranı ve lisansüstü eğitim seviyesine sahip üyeler ile banka performansı arasında pozitif ilişki olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bununla birlikte, banka performansı ile yabancı üyelerin oranı ve bağımsız üyelerin oranı arasında negatif bir ilişki tespit edilmiştir.
