This study investigates the impact of board gender diversity, audit committee gender
diversity, and CEO gender on firm performance. The sample includes 60 nonfinancial
firms with 120 firm-year observations of Egyptian companies listed on the
Egyptian Stock Exchange (Egx100) during 2018-2019 period. To test the research
hypotheses, descriptive analysis and Mann Whitney U Test are used. Results show
that firms with female representation on board have higher performance with its both
perspectives (firm’s profitability and firm’s value). Also, it shows that female
representation on audit committee have higher performance from only one
perspective which is firm’s profitability. This result is not found when measuring
firm’s performance using Tobin’s Q (firm’s value).
