Análisis de género en la gestión financiera de las empresas ecuatorianas, CIIU: G47. Periodo 2017- 2023

Abstract

Abstract: This research aimed to analyze how the gender identity of those leading companies in the G47 sector influences their financial management during the period 2017 2023. A quantitative approach, with a non-experimental, correlational design, was used to examine the relationship between leadership and key indicators of liquidity, debt, and profitability. Through the application of linear regression methodology, the relationship between profitability and the financial strength of the companies was examined, revealing differences in access to financing and indebtedness levels, particularly among those led by women. These results indicate that the gender identity has a direct effect on the financial management of the entities, which is significantly influenced by the sector's economic structure. The study concludes that it is necessary to integrate additional factors, such as resource availability and internal organization, to fully understand the economic performance of the units comprising the G47 sector.
