Our study's objective is to examine the consequences of board characteristics on a firm's financial performance. Board size, independent directors, CEO-duality, number of independent directors in the audit committee, promoter's shareholding, and board meetings have been chosen as the board variables. The fixed effects method has been applied to investigate the effect of board variables on company's performance using a panel data framework. This study demonstrates that board of directors has an impact on firm performance and the independent directors are necessary for the audit committee to improve performance. They indicate indirectly that the automobile sector has a chance to improve firm performance by strengthening the governance system with a well-balanced board composition. Additionally, audit committee with high number of independent directors ensures independent judgment and oversight during the audit of financial statements.

Additionally, examining gender-based differences offers valuable insights into implementing business ethics, a vital aspect associated with equality in the workplace and broader communities. This study aims to compare business ethics in Slovak companies led by male and female CEOs, identifying statistically significant differences. By exploring these distinctions, the research seeks to enhance our understanding of how gender influences the implementation of business ethics, contributing to existing knowledge in this field. The study surveyed 179 Slovak subsidiaries of foreign mother companies, led by male and female CEOs, using an online questionnaire. It analyzed ten variables related to business ethics implementation through statistical methods, employing the non-parametric Mann-Whitney U test due to data distribution deviations from normality. The research reveals no statistically significant differences between male and female CEOs in Slovak subsidiaries of foreign multinationals regarding business ethics. This implies that gender does not notably impact ethical practices in this context, underscoring the significance of individual characteristics and leadership qualities over gender in evaluating business ethics implementation. The findings contribute valuable insights into distinctions in business ethics characteristics under male and female leadership, informing organizational practices, leadership development, and policy formulation to promote gender equality and ethical decision-making.
