Resumen

Esta investigación verificó la influencia de la diversidad de género en el desempeño de empresas cotizadas en Brasil. Adicionalmente, se analizó si la existencia de vínculos familiares entre directoras y ejecutivas y sus colegas afectaba el desempeño de las empresas. Se utilizaron datos de 2010 a 2017, analizados por el método de momentos generalizados. Resultados mostraron que menos del 8% de los puestos en juntas directivas y puestos ejecutivos estaban ocupados por mujeres. Se constató que mayor participación femenina en consejos de administración y en cargos ejecutivos conlleva un incremento en el desempeño de las empresas. Sin embargo, el efecto de la participación de consejeras y ejecutivas que tenían vínculos familiares con sus colegas fue negativo, abriendo espacios de discusión.
