Abstrakt:	Scholars and shareholder activists have raised concerns about directors serving on multiple boards simultaneously. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 experienced diverse South African directors to investigate the causes and consequences of overboardedness. Interviewees identified the limited talent pool and board diversity targets as the main causes of overboardedness (or interlocking as it is also called). In line with the busyness hypothesis, poor meeting attendance by overboarded directors was highlighted by some participants. However, others claimed that director interlocking could offer invaluable access to social networks and resources, lending support to the experience hypothesis. Director busyness should hence be considered on a case-by-case basis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
