Resumo: This research verified the influence of gender diversity on the performance of listed companies in Brazil. Additionally, it was analyzed whether the existence of family ties between directors and executives and their colleagues affected the firms’ performance. Data from 2010 to 2017 were used, analyzed with the method of generalized moments. Results showed that less than 8% of seats on boards of directors and executive positions were held by women. It was confirmed that greater female participation in boards of directors and in executive positions leads to an increase in the performance of firms. However, the effect of the participation of directors and executives who had family ties with their colleagues was negative, opening space for discussion.

Adicionalmente, se analizó si la existencia de vínculos familiares entre directoras y ejecutivas y sus colegas afectaba el desempeño de las empresas. Se utilizaron datos de 2010 a 2017, analizados por el método de momentos generalizados. Resultados mostraron que menos del 8% de los puestos en juntas directivas y puestos ejecutivos estaban ocupados por mujeres. Se constató que mayor participación femenina en consejos de administración y en cargos ejecutivos conlleva un incremento en el desempeño de las empresas. Sin embargo, el efecto de la participación de consejeras y ejecutivas que tenían vínculos familiares con sus colegas fue negativo, abriendo espacios de discusión.Esta pesquisa verificou a influência da diversidade de gênero no desempenho de empresas listadas no Brasil.
