Female executives and multinationals’ support of the UN's sustainable development goals
研究了跨国公司高管团队中女性比例如何影响企业对联合国可持续发展目标的支持,发现女性比例越高,支持越强,且该效应受国际化程度调节。
We examine the effect of female representation in multinationals’ top management teams (TMTs) on firms’ support of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Despite the central importance of multinationals in achieving the SDGs, there has been little research on what drives their adoption by multinationals. We draw on social role theory and the literature on team decision-making to argue that female representation in TMTs increases multinationals’ support of the SDGs. We also find that the effect of female representation in TMTs on multinationals’ support of the SDGs varies with the level of international diversification.
