“…According to the authors, the main determinant of these gender differences in efficiency is sorting by sector and size. Khalife and Chalouhi (2013) use data from a small sample of Lebanese firms and find that female-led firms generate lower gross revenues than do their male-led counterparts. This difference, the authors argue, can be explained by factors related to the owner's level of education, the firm's age and size and, to some extent, the owner's business experience.…”

This paper uses aggregate data from the International Labor Organization and microeconomic data from the European Values Study to study the empirical determinants of gender gaps in entrepreneurship, distinguishing between gender gaps in employership and in self-employment. Our sample of 44 countries consists mostly of European countries but varies broadly in terms of income level and institutional background since it includes both Western European countries and former Communist countries. In the aggregate data we observe a gender gap in employers of 67% and a gender gap in self-employment of 48%. These gaps have slightly decreased in the 2000-2017 period although there are wide differences across countries. The two gaps are very highly correlated but their correlation with per capita GDP is weak. This is an important difference with respect to gender gaps in labor force participation, which tend to follow an inverse U-shape pattern when plotted against income per capita. Using the microeconomic data we find that the incidence of entrepreneurship among men is larger than among women, consistent with the gaps estimated using aggregate data. Our regressions show that these gaps are still sizeable even after controlling for a large set of control variables that include marital status, age, education, number of children, wealth, the participation of parents and spouse in entrepreneurship, values towards women, social capital, and the unemployment rate. Men benefit disproportionately from two of the key determinants in our model, the participation of parents and spouse in entrepreneurship, which have the largest magnitude of influence of selection into that occupation.JEL Codes: E2, J21, J24, O40.

“…The effect of gender on business performance has been studied in many developed countries (Westhead 2003;Khalife and Chalouhi 2013). The increase in the role of women in the decision-making of the company reveals a significant increase in organizational results (Watson 2012;Lee and Marvel 2014).…”

This study contributes to the dissemination of the theoretical and empirical knowledge on the Upper Echelons Theory, considering training and demographic diversity in Top Management Teams (TMTs) as a unique feature of companies, in our case, the IBEX 35 companies. Based on the results, we can confirm that the inclusion of women in management teams positively influences the sales of a company and contributes to increasing financial results. Age and knowledge of two or more languages are important factors in achieving an increase in financial performance. From the point of view of business practice, the results obtained are useful for increasing knowledge of which TMT characteristics are valid, which allows for better results and the establishment of responsible organizational policies that promote the inclusion of gender diversity in TMTs. In addition, the results of this study indicate that the incorporation of members of other non-Spanish nationalities would constitute a distinctive feature of a company and would enrich it not only financially, but also culturally.

“…Se demuestra que las mujeres propietarias pueden tener el mismo ingreso en sus empresas que los hombres propietarios, pero las mujeres tienden a asignarse salarios más altos que los de los hombres, pues las mujeres tienen a gastar más dinero en cosas relacionadas con el hogar que los hombres. Es por eso que las empresas de los hombres según muestra el estudio tienen más ingresos brutos que las empresas de las mujeres (Khalife y Chalouhi, 2013).…”

For years many companies have wondered how to create a true trust between their managers and collaborators, which benefits both parties and leads organizations to reach the top places in their business as a result of this relationship. But this directivecollaborative relationship has many aspects that must be taken into account to understand how different characteristics of human beings influence the results of the organization. The generation of trust may depend on factors surrounding the managerial-collaborative relationship, such as organizational climate and leadership, competencies and managerial virtues, emotional intelligence, and self-confidence. Which will be analyzed to understand how these variables influence this employment relationship. The finances are influenced by trust, as they are the reflection of the work between managers-collaborators, and if these two improve their relationship this will be reflected in the profits of a company, since every organization must first function internally and then externally with the clients, Richard Brandson, creator of the virgin group, one of the most prestigious groups of companies in the world, said in an interview that if you take care of your employees, they will take care of your clients (Cárdenas, 2015).
