Purpose – This study aims to explore the impact of female TMT participation on the firm value of Chinese-listed companies by categorizing female TMT participation into four attributes which include the presence of the female CEO, the ratio of female directors, the ratio of female outside directors and female directors’ education level. Design/methodology/approach– Using longitudinal data for the period from 2007 to 2016, this study carried out GLS panel regression analysis to verify the impact of female TMT participation on firm value. Robustness tests using lagged variables were carried out to examine the effect of female TMT participation. Findings– Results revealed that the presence of a female CEO and the ratio of female directors do not have a significant relationship with the firm value of the Chinese-listed companies. However, the ratio of female outside directors and female directors’ education level have a positive impact on the firm value. This result remains consistent with different measures of firm value over time. Research implications or Originality– This study provides clues to the extant diverse findings regarding the impact of female board composition on firm value. It revisits the value of board independence and expertise improved by gender diversity in enhancing firm value.
