Abstract

La contribución de las mujeres en la gestión estratégica de las empresas es un tema que cada día toma mayor relevancia. Por ello, la presente investigación tiene como objetivo analizar si la participación de las mujeres en los directorios y en cargos de gerencia de primera línea, en empresas chilenas que registran sus estados financieros en la Comisión del Mercado Financiero (CMF), tiene implicancia en la estructura de capital de esas empresas. La investigación es de tipo cuantitativa, descriptiva y correlacional, se trabajó con una muestra de 74 empresas para al período 2020 al 2022 y se obtuvieron 714 observaciones trimestrales, las cuales fueron analizadas con la metodología de datos de panel con efectos aleatorios y fijos con base de datos desbalanceada. Los resultados muestran que existe una relación entre la estructura de capital y el nivel de endeudamiento con el porcentaje de mujeres en gerencia de primera línea. En cambio, no se encontró evidencia significativa para la participación de las mujeres en los directorios y la estructura de capital.
