Abstract
This research has aimed to bridge the gap between academic literature on board of directors
and academic literature on the influence of voice characteristics. Based on literature it was
expected voice pitches of board members have an effect on the financial performance of firms
due to having an influence in the social processes boards are involved in. The results of this
research however show voice pitch does not have a significant effect on the financial
performance of firms. The results show differences between firms and the composition of male
and female board members mostly impact financial performance. Future research could
replicate this research using another sample than the Dutch Water Authorities. More research
is needed to bridge the gap between the two academic fields.
