Abstract

Der Anteil von Frauen in Aufsichtsräten steigt bereits seit 2012 kontinuierlich – insbesondere in jenen Firmen, die seit 2016 die Geschlechterquote zu berücksichtigen haben, in geringerem Maße auch in den von der gesetzlichen Regelung nicht betroffenen Firmen. Die Umsetzung der Quote wurde hierbei nicht über eine hohe Anzahl an Mehrfachmandatierungen erreicht. Die Hoffnung, dass die Geschlechterquote auch über die Aufsichtsräte hinaus Veränderungen mit sich bringen kann, wird zumindest in der kurzen Frist nicht erfüllt. Ein paralleler Anstieg von Frauenanteilen in Vorständen oder im Gremienvorsitz ist nicht zu beobachten. Mögliche langfristige Effekte der Quote, etwa der Abbau von Vorurteilen gegenüber Frauen in Führungspositionen, sind noch nicht abschließend zu bewerten.
