“…We carried out logit analyses using the statistics package SPSS, because the dependent variable is a dichotomous variable measuring the gender of the president. We considered this to be one of the most appropriate statistical techniques for this type of data (Esteban-Salvador, 2011). We analyse which variables predict whether the president of the cooperative is male or female.…”

International cooperative values and principles are guidelines that could lead cooperatives towards greater gender equality in the decision-making process. Stimulated by the interest in cooperatives and by the growing demand for advocating a faster increase in the presence of chairwomen in boardrooms, this research aims to analyse the impact of the gender of the cooperative president in some variables related to financial and employment ratios, corporate governance and other characteristics of the organization in Spain. Information about the major Spanish cooperative entities has been collected and analyzed to carry out the empirical study. We find that cooperatives with higher liquidity ratio, higher number of employees, higher percentage of female employees, higher employee costs divided by operating revenue ratio, lower indebtedness, and fewer years since the appointment of the president have a higher probability of belonging to the group of cooperatives with a board chaired by a woman. Cooperatives headed by women exhibit a higher ratio of staffing costs to operating revenues, which could indicate an increased intensity of cooperative principles and values related with the primacy of the economic welfare of workers over the economic benefits.

“…Based on the sample size, the research questions, and our binary dependent variable, we have chosen to use a logistic regression model to test our hypotheses. Before building the model, we have verified that the number of variables is within those recommended for the sample size in order to improve the precision of the model [58,59]. We have performed the multicollinearity diagnoses with all the predictor variables, using the variance inflation factor (FIV), and no coefficient had a value greater than 10, nor were the tolerance coefficients less than 0.10.…”

This study aims to develop a better understanding of what drives small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to engage in environmental practices in isolated rural areas. Despite a growing literature on environmental behavior in different contexts, the green activities of SMEs in rural areas remains underexposed. This neglect is remarkable, and deserves attention given the serious depopulation problems they have to face, and the economic and social challenges that lie ahead. Using unique data from 141 SMEs in one of the most sparsely populated regions in the European Union, we study the influence of territorial relations on firms’ environmental conduct. Our results suggest that different territorial factors have some impact on the adoption of environmental practices. We report evidence indicative of the role of these factors in shaping environmental decisions. Finally, we offer suggestions for future research that could further develop our understanding of environmental management decisions in rural and underpopulated areas.

“…Факторы организационного уровня включают в себя характеристики фирм, которые могут влиять на применение гендерно-ориентированных практик управления талантливыми сотрудниками. К ним относятся размер компании, отрасль, в которой она оперирует, потребность в специфических знаниях и навыках [Esteban-Salvador, 2011;Saeed, Belghitar, Yousaf, 2016]. Исследования показывают, что отраслевая принадлежность фирмы непосредственно отражается на количестве женщин, работающих в ней [Hyland, Marcellino, 2002;Mateos de Cabo, Gimeno, Nieto, 2012].…”
