摘要：
Good corporate governance has been on the corporate agenda for the last two decades. Among other issues, female's presentation in the board rooms received much more attention. This study examines the participation of females as an executive in corporate management and financial performance of the engineering sector of Pakistan. The data comes from listed companies at the Pakistan Stock exchange from 2010 to 2019. By using the data of 12 companies, it is found that there is a significant positive relationship between board diversity and financial performance. Moreover, board size and board meetings and CEO education have a significant positive influence on the financial performance of firms. However, board independence has a significant negative influence on financial performance.
