Abstract
The current thesis studies the gender composition in boardroom and dividend payouts in Pakistan. To check the link between gender composition in boardroom and dividend payouts, we have taken data of companies listed on Pakistan Stock Exchange in non-financial sectors. A sample of non-financial listed companies on Pakistan Stock Exchange’s KSE-100 index is included in the study which represents about ninety percent of the overall market capitalization of all listed companies on stock exchange. Empirical tests include descriptive statistics, regression and correlation models to check the relationship among dividend payouts and board gender diversity. Diversity in the boardroom can lead towards necessary skills and effective decision making and diversified boardrooms comprised of members of board from different gender, social and cultural background. The results of the current study indicated that a negative relationship exists between female in boardroom and dividend payouts. Furthermore, a positive relationship exists between male members in board room and dividend payouts. The current study can provide guidance in corporate governance structure which would ultimately result in economic growth of the country.
