THE IMPACT OF BOARD DEMOGRAPHIC DIVERSITY ON THE FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE OF BANKS IN SOUTH SUDAN
The study examined how the age, gender, and ethnicity of the Board of Directors (BOD) influence the financial performance of banks in South Sudan. Based on the theoretical framework of the research, demographic diversity could potentially have a positive, negative, or neutral effect on financial performance. The dependent variable, financial performance, was measured using Return on Assets (ROA) and Net Interest Margin (NIM). The independent variables included age diversity, race, and gender. Age diversity was measured by a coefficient of variation, while ethnic diversity was represented as a dummy variable, and the percentage of women on the board was used to assess gender diversity. Data regarding board profiles were collected from a checklist and financial records of banks for the five-year period from 2018 to 2023. (2017–18–20/23 The data analysis is conducted using the fixed-effects regression method, with model selection between random and fixed effects performed via the Hausman test. The findings indicate that demographic diversity in age, gender, or ethnicity does not influence financial performance. Consequently, the empirical findings did not validate the hypothesis that differences in age, gender, and ethnicity influence financial performance.
