dc.description.abstract-translatedGender diversity in statutory bodies is currently a key issue not only in corporate governance but also in broader societal discussions. This topic reflects efforts to achieve equality and fairness in access to leadership positions, while also being a significant factor influencing the performance and competitiveness of organizations in a globalized world. This article focuses on analysing financial performance and diversity in the statutory bodies of companies across three sectors of the Czech economy: professional, scientific, and technical activities; construction; and healthcare and social care. The aim is to identify the main differences in their performance and leadership diversity. The analytical part uses quantitative analysis based on data from the Orbis database, encompassing a sample of 100 companies from each sector with the highest turnover. Analysis of variance will be used to compare these differences. The results reveal significant disparities. Professional, scientific, and technical activities are characterized by high asset utilization efficiency, reflected in the highest values of net asset turnover and stable liquidity ratios. Construction is a capital-intensive sector, dominated by long-term liabilities and slower liability turnover, corresponding to the nature of long-term projects. Healthcare and social care demonstrate the highest self- financing rate and relatively quick liquidity, indicating a stable financial situation in this sector. From a gender diversity perspective, all three sectors show a predominance of men in statutory bodies, with the most pronounced imbalance observed in construction and professional, scientific, and technical activities. In contrast, the healthcare and social care sector has a higher representation of women, indicating greater inclusion of women.en
