Hi there

Could you please help me with this long sentence I want to write?

"Prior literature suggests that personality traits and job characteristics of female directors such as commitment to fulfill their responsibilities, a sense of competition against their counterparts (male directors) in the workplace, and a greater presence on the boards have significant effects on the quality of board decision-making and also improve firm performance and shareholders’ satisfaction."

I am worried about how I listed personality traits and job characteristics of female directors

How does the whole sentence seem to you?

thank you in advance.

For instance: Prior literature suggests that certain personality traits and job characteristics of female directors have significant positive effects on the quality of board decision-making, on and also improve firm performance, and on shareholders’ satisfaction.
