Governança corporativa no setor imobiliário brasileiro: uma análise bibliométrica (2014-2025)

Abstract

Corporate governance has gained increasing relevance in the business environment, particularly in the real estate sector, due to growing demands for transparency, sustainability, and corporate social responsibility. In this context, this study aimed to analyze the scientific production on corporate governance in the Brazilian real estate sector between 2014 and 2025 through a bibliometric approach. This is a descriptive, quantitative, and documentary study, based on data collected from Google Scholar. The final sample consisted of 18 publications selected according to inclusion criteria related to corporate governance and its application in the real estate sector. The findings indicate that scientific production has increased since 2022, possibly driven by the consolidation of the ESG agenda and growing market demands for more transparent corporate practices. The results also reveal a predominance of journal articles, although the significant presence of undergraduate theses and master's dissertations suggests that the field is still in the process of consolidation. Scientific production is concentrated in the Southeast region of Brazil, with increasing contributions from the Northeast region, and is characterized by limited collaboration among researchers. From a thematic perspective, the literature shows a strong association between corporate governance and sustainability, although important gaps remain regarding traditional corporate governance topics. It is concluded that research on this subject is expanding but has not yet reached full maturity, highlighting opportunities for further theoretical and methodological developments in future studies.
