Background of the Study

Gender diversity on corporate boards has gained attention as a critical factor influencing organizational performance and decision-making. Diverse boards are believed to bring varied perspectives, enhance problem-solving, and improve governance effectiveness (Adeyemi & Musa, 2024).

In Nigeria, the logistics industry is essential for facilitating trade and economic activities. However, the representation of women on boards remains low, raising concerns about the inclusivity and effectiveness of governance structures (Oluwaseun & Bello, 2023). This study investigates the effect of gender diversity on board effectiveness in logistics firms in Kaduna State, exploring the relationship between diversity and organizational outcomes.

Statement of the Problem

Despite global advocacy for gender diversity, Nigerian logistics firms, including those in Kaduna State, continue to exhibit low levels of female representation on boards. This lack of diversity may limit the board's ability to address complex challenges and make informed decisions (Afolabi & Eze, 2025). Furthermore, there is limited empirical evidence on how gender diversity impacts board effectiveness in the logistics sector.

This study aims to fill this gap by examining the role of gender diversity in enhancing board effectiveness and proposing strategies for increasing female representation.

Objectives of the Study

  1. To assess the level of gender diversity on boards of logistics firms in Kaduna State.

  2. To examine the impact of gender diversity on board effectiveness.

  3. To recommend strategies for promoting gender diversity in the logistics sector.

Research Questions

  1. What is the level of gender diversity on boards of logistics firms in Kaduna State?

  2. How does gender diversity affect board effectiveness in these firms?

  3. What strategies can enhance gender diversity in the logistics industry?

Research Hypotheses

  1. Gender diversity does not significantly impact board effectiveness in logistics firms.

  2. There is no significant relationship between gender diversity and decision-making quality on boards.

  3. Current governance practices are sufficient to promote gender diversity on boards.

Scope and Limitations of the Study

The study focuses on logistics firms in Kaduna State, investigating the relationship between gender diversity and board effectiveness. Limitations include access to data on board composition and potential biases in perceptions of board effectiveness.

Definitions of Terms

  • Gender Diversity: The representation of individuals of different genders within an organizational structure.

  • Board Effectiveness: The ability of a corporate board to fulfill its responsibilities and achieve organizational goals.
