Summary/Abstract: Gender differences have become essential topics in the works of researchers dealing with topics related to the relationship between business performance and board diversity, with particular emphasis on the female presence in these boards, due to the specific characteristics of women in management actions, and in many studies the positive relationship found in this direction is stated. This paper aims, on the one hand, to provide a contextual analysis, through a literature review, in order to investigate the influence of gender diversity in boards of directors on business performance, and on the other hand, to examine the concerns and research directions related to the issue under research, through a bibliometric analysis, in order to highlight the links between the concepts analysed, by mapping them, thus providing a broad perspective on the dynamics of the scientific literature studied. In this methodological approach specific to bibliometrics, we will resort to the temporal analysis of the evolution of research studies, which have been published on the Web of Science platform, in the last 23 years, from 2000 to 2023. on the topic of gender diversity and its link with business performance, returning for the period under analysis, over 19,000 results, which allowed us to understand the theoretical and conceptual basis behind gender influences in the context of business performance and to develop new research directions.
