Abstract

Globalno gledano, uprave su još uvijek nedovoljno raznolike po spolu članova koji su u njih imenovani. Uvođenje rodnih kvota u korporativnim odborima može biti šok za njihov status-quo koji proizvodi eksternalije za napredak žena u tvrtki. U ovom radu istražujemo doprinose li kvote u nadzornom odboru podizanju većeg broja žena na korporativnoj ljestvici i na širi raspon pozicija. Kvote povećavaju zastupljenost žena u pogođenom odboru, ali mogu imati negativan učinak na izvršne karijere žena. Također im ne uspijeva eliminirati stakleni strop i ne izjednačavaju teren između žena insajdera i autsajdera. Kvote ne mogu same imati zadatak postizanja ravnopravnosti spolova u korporacijama. Polagano povećanje broja žena na vodećim položajima bilo je nesrazmjerno brzom porastu njihovih obrazovnih kvalifikacija; Budući da su tijekom godina žene sustigle muškarce, a neke su ih čak i zastarjele. U tom kontekstu pozivi na vladinu intervenciju postajali su sve glasniji. Istodobno je bio naširoko kritiziran da sustav kvota smanjuje učinak, a ne spol kao presudan za promaknuća na najviše pozicije.

Abstract (english)

Globally, boards are still insufficiently diverse in terms of the gender of the members appointed to them. The introduction of gender quotas in corporate boards can be a shock to their status-quo that produces externalities for the advancement of women in the company. In this paper, we investigate whether quotas in the supervisory boards contribute to raising a greater number of women on the corporate ladder and to a wider range of positions. Quotas increase the representation of women on the affected board, but may have a negative effect on women's executive careers. They also fail to eliminate the glass ceiling and level the playing field between insider and outsider women. Quotas alone cannot have the task of achieving gender equality in corporations. The slow increase in the number of women in leadership positions was disproportionate to the rapid increase in their educational qualifications; Because over the years, women have caught up with men, and some have even made them obsolete. In this context, calls for government intervention became louder. At the same time, it was widely criticized that the quota system reduces performance, rather than gender being the deciding factor for promotions to top positions.
