Presença feminina nos conselhos de administração e o desempenho econômico-financeiro das companhias durante a pandemia de COVID-19

Abstract

The presence of women in high-ranking positions has increasingly attracted the attention of researchers on the subject, as it has been widely discussed whether or not this impacts the economic and financial results of a company. In view of the above, the present work has the general objective of identifying the association of the female presence on the Boards of Directors with the economic-financial performance presented by the entities. For this purpose, a descriptive and quantitative methodology was used, which included 42 companies, of which 7 are composed of large percentages of women in management positions. As main findings, it was identified that companies with a greater female presence had better liquidity and profitability indexes and lower levels of indebtedness. As for the price to book value ratio, the results were mixed. In view of the above, we can see the importance of further studies on the subject, since the presence of women in high-ranking positions contributes to the presentation of better economic and financial results.
