This study investigates whether corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities and board gender diversity affect bankruptcy. The core issue focuses on the moderating effect between CSR activities and board gender diversity on bankruptcy. Using 4,654 firmyear observations from a sample of 581 non-financial firms listed on the Korean Stock Exchange over the period 2009–2017, we employ the fixed effect estimation and two-way fixed effect estimation of panel analysis to control endogenous. We find firms engaging more in CSR activities reduce the level of bankruptcy, but board gender diversity does not reduce the level of bankruptcy due to tiny portion of female director in the boardroom. The moderating effect on the relationship between CSR activities and board gender diversity reduce the level of bankruptcy. This result indicates that the influence of female directors on the boards of Korean listed firms is not yet strong but board gender diversity with good CSR activities positively operate to reduce the level of bankruptcy.

Purpose This study aims to examine how the salient board gender diversity among board directors affects firm performance both directly and indirectly, through the role of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in listed firms on the Palestine Stock Exchange over the period 2010–2017. Design/methodology/approach Based on panel data of 384 observations from all firms listed on the Palestine Security Exchange during the period from 2010 to 2017, this study uses panel data regression to examine the effect of the predictors on firm performance. In addition, to mitigate the endogeneity issue, the analysis was repeated by using one-step generalized method of moments. Findings The results show that board gender diversity has a positive and insignificant influence on firm performance. However, under the moderating effect of CSR, the finding turns from positive insignificant to positive significant. Originality/value The study is timely given that gender diversity plays pivotal roles in determining the performance in terms of monitoring and controlling and further willing to engage in social responsibility. The prior research in Palestine has never investigated the effect of board gender diversity. As such, Palestine has not established a legal quota of minimum female representation on boards, and because of it, the country has weak women’s representation among firms. It, therefore, becomes a necessity to examine the influence of board gender diversity on the financial performance of listed firms in Palestine. Besides, the mixed result in previous literature on the board gender diversity and firm performance indicates that there is an indirect effect that needs alternative explanations.

While prior studies have investigated the impact of corporate governance mechanisms on corporate social responsibility (CSR) commitment, researchers have scantly studied the potentially important relationship between board gender diversity and corporate social responsibility and irresponsibilityseparately. Drawing on the social role theory and feminist ethics, we hypothesizethat board gender diversity is positively associated with CSR and negatively associated with corporate social irresponsibility (CSI).Here, we relied on a sample of French non-financial companies listed on the SBF 120 index between 2011 and 2016. Our results provide evidence on the positive impact of board gender diversity on CSR and the negative one on CSI. We show that women have a stronger impact on reducing CSI than on enhancing CSR. Our findings were robust to the different estimation methods.
