From the author: This study explores relationships of women in management positions with firm financial performance. Utilizing the resource-based theory of competitive advantage, as well as stakeholder and diversity arguments, we hypothesize that firms employing greater percentages of women managers at the general management, top management, and board of director levels will experience relatively better financial performance. Examining data from the Wall Street Journal for 200 large firms, we find positive relationships between the firm's total percentage of women managers and ROS, ROA, ROI, and ROE. High percentages of women top managers and board members did not predict performance.
