Abstract

Il lavoro analizza in che misura la diversita di genere fa parte delle attuali pratiche delle aziende sanitarie. Attraverso un?analisi di tipo statistico- inferenziale su un campione di 39 strutture ospedaliere appartenenti al Gruppo San Donato, ha lo scopo di valutare se la presenza delle donne nel CdA influenza la performance aziendale. I risultati suggeriscono che la diversita nelle aziende sanitarie e un tema poco esplorato e non mancano opportunita e ostacoli al percorso di carriera delle donne. L?analisi di correlazione e regressione conferma che la presenza delle donne e positivamente correlata all?indice di performance delle strutture; la strada per arrivare alla parita non e breve e implica che le aziende sanitarie, se vogliono garantire parita di genere, devono riprogettare e migliorare l?organizzazione interna aprendo i loro CdA piu ampiamente alle donne.
