“…Our results on the efficiency of cooperatives' implementation of GDMS in the generation of GDDB will undoubtedly be an element that policymakers can consider when designing gender policies. They will also help to promote the application of gender measures and policies in cooperatives in the agri-food sector, where such policies have very little real application [37]. At the same time, the findings of this study can assist cooperatives in making their boards of directors more efficient, insofar as, as we have pointed out, they need to bear in mind that it is not sufficient to include one or two women on these boards.…”

“…This was foreseeable since the implementation of these systems already shows the company's commitment to comply with this objective. These results are especially valuable in the agri-food sector, since it is one of the sectors with the weakest implementation of this type of measures in its companies [37]. Therefore, its effectiveness can undoubtedly serve as a stimulus for greater implementation.…”

“…Companies whose diversity and equality policies are integrated into overall corporate strategy tend to be larger multinationals, and within sectors, agricultural firms do not have a strong culture of introducing them. In a study of medium to large companies in Ireland [37], agricultural firms had the lowest % of GDMS (only 14.2% of firms), while the percentage in energy, health services, financial services, and other service companies was over 25%.…”

Does Gender Diversity Affect Performance in Agri-Food Cooperatives? A Moderated Model

2020

Existing research about the relationship between gender diversity and performance in cooperatives is not conclusive. In view of this reality, this paper aims firstly to analyse the effectiveness of gender diversity and equality management systems (GDMS) in promoting gender diversity in the decision-making bodies (GDDB) as well as in the performance of agri-food cooperatives. Secondly, the objective is to establish the relationship between GDDB and performance, and subsequently, to analyse the moderating effect of GDDB on three of the business strategies adopted by cooperatives in order to achieve competitive advantages: Integration strategies, internationalisation strategies, and environmental concern, based on a survey carried out in 2018 using a sample of 2489 Spanish agri-food cooperatives. A moderation analysis was conducted to test the proposed model and hypotheses. The results obtained confirm a positive relationship between the implementation by cooperatives of GDMS and GDDB. The relationship between GDMS, GDDB, and performance was not significant. The moderating effect of GDDB was only statistically significant in the case of export intensity (EI) and environmental concern (EC), although, contrary to expectations, this effect was negative, meaning that the impact of both strategies on performance becomes more apparent as GDDB is reduced.
