“…As the company’s decision-making level, even if the board of directors did not participate in the implementation of specific company strategic plans, it should strengthen the guidance of the company’s operating direction when making relevant decisions. Boards should also consider the influence of stakeholders on the formulation and implementation of decisions in order to gain their support when the leverage level was high or when creditors were strong in bargaining power ( van Zyl and Mans-Kemp, 2021 ). Based on the above, we have extracted the relevant theoretical framework of board governance and analyzed the role of board governance as shown in Figure 1 .…”

A growing body of research has focused on the relationship between board diversity and firm performance. A series of empirical literatures have also examined a significant positive correlation between the two. But these results only demonstrate the relationship between the input of ‘diversity’ and the output of ‘firm performance’. Such research is more of a black box because board diversity must act on certain strategies or decisions to affect firm performance. Some scholars try theoretical analysis with the purpose of opening the black box. In order to verify the relevant theoretical analysis results, this study uses the mediating effect analysis model in the field of psychology, through multiple regression, impulse analysis, variance decomposition and other methods, to thus empirically test the mediating effect of technological innovation in the process of board diversification promoting corporate performance. We found that board diversity can improve firm performance by enhancing the level of technological innovation. Among them, technological innovation has played a complete mediating role in the diversity of board members’ functional and occupational background, and played a partial mediating role in the diversification of directors’ part-time jobs. Technological innovation is a key indicator bridging board diversity and firm performance. This study can explore and explain the inner workings of the significant relationship between board diversity and firm performance, and link research findings on similar phenomena. The research results may make the existing board governance theories more systematic, expand the extension of theoretical research, and provide some empirical research references for academics and practitioners.

The post-apartheid regime introduced reforms in the labor law of South Africa. The reforms aimed to redress inequality among workers regardless of gender. The article engages policies and labor laws under the Labor Relations Act 66 of 1995, to an association of trade unions’ rights. Specifically, the labor laws aspect that deals with equal pay was examined for women workers to understand the dimension of gender equality in the labor market of South Africa after 1994. Inequality in pay gaps for professional women across all sectors of the economy is yet to be unraveled. The study explores pay differentiation in the workplace from the dimension of policy review. Concepts of fairness, equity, and the legal framework of South Africa were explored in terms of working conditions and equal pay implementation (Matotoka & Odeku, 2022). The phenomenology approach was used in this study to understand the issues of pay gaps and career experiences of professional women. The findings are counter-intuitive. The analysis reveals the distance between equality policy and conflicting organizational cultures resulting in continued inequality experiences for professional women. This paper contributes to an understanding of corporate law and governance in terms of inequality and social injustice in post-apartheid South Africa.
