Liderança feminina: impactos no desempenho econômico-financeiro

Abstract

The objective of the research was to investigate the relationship between the presence of women in leadership positions and the economic-financial results of the analyzed organizations. This research was classified as exploratory, with a qualitative approach through a documentary analysis, examining four financial institutions, equally divided between those with a higher female representation in leadership and those with lower female representation. The methodology employed consisted of comparing financial indices, including net profit, debt ratio, and operational efficiency over the years from 2017 to 2022. The results revealed that institutions with a higher presence of women in leadership positions demonstrate similar or superior operational results compared to organizations with lower female representation. These findings point to the importance of gender diversity in leadership positions, as it can positively influence economic-financial performance. It is concluded that promoting female leadership is fundamental for the success of financial organizations and for promoting gender equality in the corporate environment. It is recommended that companies implement policies and practices that encourage the inclusion of women in leadership positions, recognizing the tangible benefits that this diversity can provide. This study contributes to the understanding of the links between gender and financial performance and highlights the need for concrete actions to achieve more inclusive and equitable leadership.
