Anahtar Kelimeler:Board of Directors,Number of Members

Özet: Board of Directors must be formed by companies and are organs of vital importance. A functional Board of Directors makes a clear significant impact on the success of the company. For this reason the board should be composed of an appropriate number of members. However, determining this appropriate number is an issue that must be addressed. As the first step, this study discusses the factors affecting the number of board members. The study included 58 insurance companies operating in Turkey. The number of board members was used as the dependent variable and total assets premium production, personnel numbers, company type, management structure and public status as the independent variables. The analysis determined a statistically significant positive relation between the number of board members and a company’s premium production and total assets. According to the regression analysis, the 6 independent variables and the dependent variable of member numbers account for only a small 36% of the factors determining member numbers and the remaining 64% of determining factors are made up of those not included in the study.
