Abstract

(VF)Depuis quelques années, la place des femmes au sein des conseils d’administration des organisations suscite de plus en plus de réflexions et de recherches. Cet article vise à présenter une synthèse de ces écrits et à baliser les recherches futures. Après avoir brossé le tableau de la situation en Amérique du Nord et en Europe, nous traitons des obstacles à la féminisation des conseils d’administration. Ensuite, nous présentons une synthèse des recherches qui ont porté sur la féminisation des conseils d’administration. Finalement, nous offrons des réflexions et des voies de recherche aux chercheurs que ce sujet intéresse. (VA)The role of women on boards of directors is attracting widespread attention, especially following the adoption of quotas in several countries. This article provides a synthesis of the academic literature on the topic, covering comments and empirical findings as to the determinants and implications of women’s involvement as corporate directors. In addition, we discuss ways by which gender diversity at the board level can be enhanced (or undermined). We conclude the article by offering some critical comments on the current research on this issue and by suggesting various research avenues for the future so that we can gain a better understanding of this fundamental change in corporate governance.
