Abstract: This study examines the association between the diversity of the board of directors of the 30 systemic banking groups and their dividend distribution policy. The analysis of panel data using the GMM (Generalised Method of Moments) estimator was used over the period 2010 to 2015. Overall, the results confirm Lintner's (1956) dividend smoothing hypothesis and indicate that dividend cuts are rarely observed in large systemic banking groups. In addition, the proportion of women on the board of directors and the proportion of independent directors are significantly and negatively associated with bank's dividend per share. The same is true of the frequency of board meetings and the increase of specialized committees of this board. However, the duality of the leadership style is positively and significantly related to the dividend distribution. The effects of size, liquidity and growth opportunities on the dividend distribution of systemic banking groups are in line with the Fama & French (2001) theory.
