Respaldado pela Teoria dos Stakeholders, o presente estudo tem como objetivo analisar a relação entre a participação feminina na alta gestão e a sustentabilidade empresarial, a partir de uma análise realizada em 83 das 100 empresas listadas na B3 S.A. com maior valor de mercado, de acordo com os dados do exercício de 2018, disponíveis na base Economática®. De natureza quantitativa, a pesquisa utilizou técnicas da estatística descritiva, da Análise de Correspondência Simples (Anacor), do teste de médias e da regressão logística. A participação feminina é medida pela proporção do número de mulheres presentes no Conselho de Administração (CA) e na Diretoria Executiva (DE) em relação ao total de seus membros titulares, enquanto a proxy da sustentabilidade empresarial é mensurada a partir da participação no Índice de Sustentabilidade Empresarial (ISE). A Anacor demonstrou que há uma associação entre a participação feminina no CA e a sustentabilidade empresarial; entretanto, não foi encontrada associação entre a participação feminina na DE com a sustentabilidade. O teste de diferenças entre médias revelou que há diferenças significativas entre as empresas sustentáveis e as não sustentáveis no que tange à variável participação feminina no CA, o que foi ratificado mediante aplicação da regressão logística. Destaque-se que a participação feminina no CA e o tamanho da empresa são as variáveis com mais probabilidade de exercer essa correlação. Com isso, os resultados confirmam os prognósticos da Teoria dos Stakeholders, na medida em que sinaliza que a participação feminina nos órgãos de alta gestão promove resultados efetivos que atendam às necessidades dos acionistas e stakeholders. ABSTRACTSupported by the Stakeholder Theory, this study aims to analyze the relationship between female participation in top management and corporate sustainability, based on an analysis carried out in 83 of the 100 companies listed on B3 SA with the highest market value, according to with the data for the 2018 financial year, available on the Economática® basis. Of a quantitative nature, the research used techniques of descriptive statistics, Simple Correspondence Analysis (Anacor), the means test and logistic regression. Female participation is measured by the proportion of the number of women present on the Board of Directors (CA) and on the Executive Board (DE) in relation to the total of its full members, while the proxy for corporate sustainability is measured based on participation in the Index of Corporate Sustainability (ISE). Anacor has demonstrated that there is an association between female participation in the Board of Directors and corporate sustainability; however, no association was found between female participation in DE with sustainability. The test of differences between means revealed that there are significant differences between sustainable and unsustainable companies with respect to the variable female participation in the Board, which was ratified through the application of logistic regression. It should be noted that female participation in the Board and the size of the company are the variables most likely to exercise this correlation. With this, the results confirm the prognostications of the Stakeholder Theory, insofar as it signals that female participation in top management bodies promotes effective results that meet the needs of shareholders and stakeholders.

This chapter continues to analyze the relationship between decision and action using a case study on Swedish Rail (Statens Järnvägar, SJ). In February 1987, the board of directors of SJ met to consider a plan drawn up by an international consultancy company to implement a radical reform, the ‘New SJ’. The basic idea was to make the company more businesslike. SJ was to be run as a company and not as a government service, and its corporate aim was to be a profitable business. The chapter addresses the question of why reforms may be difficult to implement. It suggests that there are certain fundamental and common characteristics of administrative reforms which make them difficult to implement by nature.

The aim of the present study is to assess The Effect of Company Size on the Relationship between Corporate Governance and Corporate Performance in the Iraqi Stock Exchange. The statistical population under study is listed companies of  Iraq Stock Exchange and the number of companies studied in Iraq is 35, from 2015-2019. The results concluded that there is a statistically significant relationship between the change (increase) of institutional ownership and the performance of the company, and this relationship is direct, as well as the relationship between the change (increase) of institutional ownership and the performance of the company. It can change under the influence of the company's size, and this relationship is negative, meaning the larger the company's size, the weaker the relationship. At the same time, the existence of a relationship between changing the composition of the members of the Board of Directors and the performance of the company was not supported, as well as between changing (increasing) the independence of the Board of Directors and the performance of the company, in addition to the relationship between changing the composition of the Board of Directors. The independence of the Board of Directors and the performance of the company is not affected by the change in the size of the company

Using a sample of 47 Portuguese and Spanish firms for the period 2010 to 2017, the authors study the relationship between female presence on board and firm's accounting (ROA and ROE) and market-based (MTB and Tobin's Q) performance. They find that women on the board of directors is positively related to firm's performance, as well as the gender of the CFO and the proportion of women on the listed key professionals, when we consider the market measures of performance, not being so consistent for accounting performance measures. Results were sensitive to the performance measure used. The results reinforce the political options of European Commission gender established quotas, revealing that in the Iberian countries these quotas are not being effectively implemented, even if results suggest that women on board in fact exert positive influence over market performance. This also led us to think that financial markets may also react in a positive way when the CFO of the company is a woman instead of a man, despite the sample limitations both in terms of gender and number of firms.

The Relationship

Cooperatives are based on the philosophy of equality and mutual help i.e. 'All for each and each for all'. They cover a wide range of development services in Nepalese context. The members of a cooperative elect a board of directors in its general meeting for the day to day operation. The board prepares policy and procedures, and appoints manager(s) to implement the policies and run the program. One of the internal issues in saving and credit cooperatives is the relationship between managers and the board of directors which affects on the performance level of the cooperative. In this regard, the main objective of this paper is to assess the relationship between managers and the board of directors, and its impact on the performance of saving and credit cooperatives in Pokhara. The study also covers the managers' feelings of job satisfaction, career development opportunities, and responsibilities of board of directors and managers. Out of 212 savings and credit cooperatives in Pokhara Sub-metropolitan, 77 cooperatives were selected as sample. A questionnaire survey with the mangers was carried out to derive the primary information, and annual audited reports are used as secondary sources of data. The results indicate that board-manager relation does not affect the responsibilities of board of directors and managers, and academic qualifications of managers are positively related to performance of the cooperatives. Finally the paper concludes that the board manager relationship is positively related to return on assets of the cooperatives. Janapriya Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies, Vol. 6 (December 2017), page: 60-77

The Relationship

Resource dependence theory emphasizes the importance of linking firms with external contingencies that create uncertainty and interdependence. A critical source of external interdependency and uncertainty for business is government. One way to link a firm to the government is appointing ex-politicians to the board of directors. This study compares the boards of two groups of firms—those from heavily and less regulated industries—and finds the former group has more politician directors. Firms with politicians on the board are associated with better market-based performance across both groups, although the relationship is more pronounced within heavily regulated industries.

Positive Effect

A burgeoning stream of sustainability research explores the role of companies’ top management team (TMT) characteristics in corporate sustainability efforts, while another stream investigates the effect of a company’s supply chain position on its likelihood of engaging in sustainability. This study shows the importance of integrating the two research streams by demonstrating that supply chain position moderates the relationship between TMT characteristics and sustainability and thus establishes boundary conditions for this relationship. By matching 758 corporate sustainability initiatives with control observations, our results show that the size of the top executive team and the average age of its members, two well-known predictors of corporate sustainability, are distinctly moderated by supply chain position. While business-to-business (B2B) companies are less likely to report a sustainability initiative compared to business-to-consumer (B2C) organizations, we found that B2B TMT size has a greater positive effect on sustainability initiative likelihood than B2C TMT size. Conversely, average B2C TMT age has greater predictive power in explaining sustainability initiative likelihood than average B2B TMT age. The implications of these findings in advancing corporate sustainability and organizational change are discussed.
