responsabilidad social empresaria, sostenibilidad, género, director ejecutivo, consejo de administraciónResumen
En este documento se aborda el problema de la posible influencia del género del director ejecutivo sobre la incorporación de la responsabilidad social empresarial. El objetivo fue estudiar si existe relación entre estas variables. Se utilizó una metodología de tipo cuantitativo, aplicada a una base de datos con información sobre el uso de prácticas generales de gestión. Se trata de una base de 107 prácticas específicas de la responsabilidad social empresarial. Para estudiar la relación entre el género del director ejecutivo y estas variables se utilizaron las pruebas estadísticas chi cuadrado y diferencia de medias. Se encontró que, en general, el género del director ejecutivo no influye en la aplicación de la responsabilidad social empresarial, a excepción de algunas acciones de esta última de carácter filantrópico y del uso del voluntariado corporativo.
