The recent financial crisis has increased interest in investigating the nexus between various corporate governance mechanisms and firm performance. Nevertheless, few studies focus on investigating this nexus for the banking sector. The current study aims to determine the change in the structure of the board of directors in the Turkish banking sector in the period after the global financial crisis (2009-2016) and to determine whether the diversity in boardroom influences the bank performance. For this purpose, average return on assets (ROAA), average return on equity (ROAE) and pre-tax profit/total assets ratios are employed in the measurement of bank performance while size, gender, nationality, level of education and whether or not board members are independent are used in relation to the board structure. Findings revealed a negative and statistically significant nexus between board size and bank performance. Nevertheless, it was found that there is a positive nexus between the proportion of female members and the proportion of members who have postgraduate degree and bank performance. However, the nexus between the proportion of female members and average return on equity and the nexus between the proportion of members who have a postgraduate degree and the pre-tax profit/total assets ratio are statistically significant. On the other hand, there was a negative nexus between bank performance and the proportion of foreign and independent members. However, the nexus between only the proportion of foreign members and return on equity is statistically significant.
