Resumen

El objetivo del estudio es analizar la influencia del número de mujeres en los consejos de administración de las empresas en el nivel de divulgación de información sobre Responsabilidad Social Empresarial (RSE) dirigida a reducir las desigualdades de género a la luz de la Teoría de la Masa Crítica. Se analizó información de 2.199 organizaciones en 52 países sobre prácticas de RSE relacionadas con el género y la composición de la junta directiva, en el período 2010-2017. Se utilizaron las siguientes técnicas: prueba de diferencia de medias y regresión con datos de panel. Como resultado, en cuanto a la divulgación de género, se identificó que las empresas con masa crítica de mujeres tenían un promedio más alto que las empresas sin masa crítica. Se encontró que la variable masa crítica de mujeres mostró significación positiva. Así, el nivel de divulgación de información sobre RSE relacionada con el género es mayor cuando existe una masa crítica de mujeres en el directorio. La investigación contribuye académicamente al mostrar que la presencia de mujeres en el directorio influye en la divulgación de información relacionada con el género, demostrando que las empresas con mayor masa crítica en el directorio son más activas en la reducción de las desigualdades de género. En términos prácticos, contribuye a incentivar acciones encaminadas a una mayor participación de las mujeres en los consejos, como el establecimiento de cuotas o políticas públicas. Teóricamente, contribuye a la literatura demostrando la aplicación de la Teoría de la Masa Crítica en el campo del Gobierno Corporativo.
