Summary/Abstract: Results of a survey carried out on a sample of 100 largest companies listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange during seven years (2008-2014) prove that the share of women in supervisory boards in that period was on a fixed level of 10–11%, with at least one woman in half of supervisory boards. Statistical analyses show that presence and participation of women in supervisory boards of joint-stock companies listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange coincides with the participation of the state in ownership structure, and does not coincide with participation of other types of shareholders (individual investor, institutional investor, financial investor).
