This paper uses a sample of 1243 international firms for the period 2013–2017 to analyse the effect that a greater presence of women in management teams has on business behaviour in relation to labour and human rights, and the mediating role of improved performance in these rights on corporate transparency. The results show that gender diversity in management teams is positively associated with performance in relation to labour and human rights, and that such a performance acts as a mediating factor by fostering a higher disclosure of information regarding these issues. The findings therefore seem to indicate that the presence of women in management teams acts as a driving force for enhanced social responsibility.

本文使用 2013 年至 2017 年期间 1243 家国际公司的样本来分析管理团队中女性人数增加对与劳工和人权相关的商业行为的影响，以及改善绩效在这些权利方面的中介作用关于企业透明度。结果表明，管理团队中的性别多样性与劳工和人权方面的绩效呈正相关，并且这种绩效通过促进有关这些问题的更多信息披露而起到中介作用。因此，调查结果似乎表明，管理团队中女性的存在是增强社会责任的驱动力。
