Relationship between CEO gender and the application of corporate social responsibility

This document addresses the problem of the possible influence of the CEO gender on the incorporation of corporate social responsibility. The objective was to study whether there is a relationship between these variables. A quantitative methodology was used, applied to a database with information on the use of general management practices. It is a database of 107 practices specific to corporate social responsibility. To study the relationship between the CEO gender and these variables, the statistical tests of chi-square and difference of means were used. It was found that, in general, the CEO gender does not influence the application of corporate social responsibility, with the exception of some social responsibility actions of a philanthropic nature and the use of corporate volunteering.
