“…Several economies are studying the implementations of mandatory quotas to increase gender diversity in companies. We moved ahead of the understanding of previous studies by approaching the impact of this diversity in firm risk and performance using a wide range of methods, more robust than previous research in Brazil (Martins et al , 2012; Lazzaretti et al , 2013; Silva Júnior and Martins, 2017; Dani et al , 2019). As we found a positive relationship between women presence and performance, our study can help business managers to increase women participation and encourage investors to select companies more gender-diverse.…”

“…The growing literature about gender issues (Adams, 2016; Terjesen et al , 2016; Conyon and He, 2017; Adams and Ferreira, 2009; Silva Júnior and Martins, 2017; Dani et al , 2019) associated with the new impending legal framework motivates the investigation of the impact of women on boards of directors in some company’s features. We intend to check if female board representation affects performance and risk and to analyse the evolution of the demographic aspects of the presence of women on boards in Brazil.…”

“…Brazilian companies have been more investigated in research as part of multi-country samples in international studies, like in Terjesen et al (2016). Yet, in Brazil, gender diversity proxies have also been used as a corporate governance aspect in the work of Dani et al (2019) and Silva Júnior and Martins (2017). However, our work uses a broader sample and covers a wider period than Silva Júnior and Martins (2017), which covered only women’s presence in the board, not in directorship positions.…”

Purpose This study aims to intend to check if female board representation affects performance and risk and to analyse the evolution of the demographic aspects of the presence of women on boards in Brazil. Design/methodology/approach The authors used a sample of 150 Brazilian publicly traded companies from 2010–2018, with different measures of firm performance, firm risk and women’s presence on the board. The study approach is based on a set of ordinary least squares, quantile and panel data regressions. Findings The presence of women on the board has a positive effect on all of our accounting and market performance measures. However, the result of the impact on risk is not conclusive. The study also found that the number of females on the board has a more significant effect at the lower levels of firm performance measured by return on equity, but at the higher levels when measured by Tobin’s Q. Regarding return on assets, the more significant effect happened on the extremes of the performance distribution. The study findings point that market investors place more value in female presence on the board than in director positions. Originality/value By estimating the impact of women’s presence on the boards of directors in firm performance and risk, this study aimed to verify this impact in different aspects of the company. In addition, the authors did so in a sample with many years, making it possible to evaluate the historical evolution of the feminine presence in the boards of administration as well as in the groups of directors, assisting Brazilian legislators with new evidence about the possible impacts of Draft Law 7179/2017.

“…Board gender diversity (BGEND) plays a vital role in improving the quality of reporting (Dani et al, 2019;Maglio et al, 2020). The literature suggests that representation of more female directors may: enhance board effectiveness in various issues (Arioglu, 2020), improve the board's monitoring and advisory roles, increase their ethical behaviours, deter opportunistic behaviour in EM practices (Fan et al, 2019;Harakeh et al, 2019), and thereby promote the quality of reporting.…”

This study examines the relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR) reporting, board gender diversity (BGEND) and real earnings management (REM). It also investigates how the relationship between CSR reporting and REM differs between gender-diverse and non-diverse firms. Content analysis was used to measure CSR reporting. The ordinary least square regression is used to examine the relationships for a sample of 475 firm-year observations listed on the Amman Stock Exchange during 2011-2016. The results show that CSR reporting is significantly and negatively associated with REM in the Jordanian market. Nevertheless, BGEND is negatively and significantly related to REM. More importantly, the results show that BGEND moderates the CSR-REM relationship. Further,

“…Following instrumental stakeholder theory, we are interested in explaining new ventures' performance (Jones, 1995) and the relationship of this performance to entrepreneurial social identity. The survival of a company is affected not only by shareholders but also by other stakeholders such as employees and customers (Dani et al, 2019). We focus on three primary stakeholder groups (Tantalo and Priem, 2016): investors, clients and employees.…”

Purpose Entrepreneurial identity involves identifying and exploiting opportunities to create value and wealth. Entrepreneurship contributes mainly to a firm’s efforts be exploited in a marketplace. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the relationship between the entrepreneurial social identities identified by Fauchart and Gruber (2011) and three primary stakeholders: investors, customers and employees. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected through online questionnaires from entrepreneurs who had created their own new venture in Spain. The results were analysed using partial least squares technique (PLS-SEM) (Fornell and Cha, 1994) with Smart PLS 3.0 (Ringle et al., 2015). Findings The results show that the identities defined as Darwinian and Communitarian have a positive effect on profits and growth in sales, which serve to create value for investors and customers. The effect is not significant, however, when these identities are connected to job creation to create value for employees. Further, the multi-group analysis performed shows that this relationship differs significantly based on gender. Research limitations/implications The main limitation is that this research does not include relevant stakeholders like sponsors or project managers. The next step is to expand this research to this kind of stakeholders. Practical implications The research assists gender entrepreneurial social identity and business performance under the impact on primary stakeholders. Social implications This research has the potential to analyse the entrepreneurial social identities for their contribution to create value and wealth. Originality/value The authors’ main contributions are to have based the study on the relationship between entrepreneurial social identity and business performance and their impact on primary stakeholders and to have analysed the differences on gender entrepreneurial social identity and business performance and their impact on primary stakeholders.
