“…Some of them focus on stock market indicators such as stock profitability or market value of assets (Brickley et al, 1994;Magnanelli et al, 2020;Thomsen et al, 2006).

The COVID-19 pandemic has been a disruptive unexpected event that hit firms worldwide. It is necessary starting to investigate on the features of the firms which better allowed companies to face and react to this critical situation. The present study aims at investigating as first whether firm performance is affected by the presence of a female CEO during unexpected critical events, and then by exploring the effects of being a family firm during a crisis period. Moreover, the study aims at exploring also the impact of having a female CEO in case the firm is a family one. In fact, given the rising importance of gender in top managerial levels, more research has been focusing on female leadership. However, still little research exists on female leadership in family firms. An empirical analysis was conducted on a sample of Italian listed firms over a three-year period (2018–2020), which means data were collected and analyzed through the COVID-19 pandemic. The results show that female leadership during the pandemic has a positive effect on firm performance. Likewise, family firms are able to outperform non-family firms during the occurrence of an unexpected critical event.

The COVID-19 pandemic has been a disruptive and unexpected event that has impacted businesses worldwide. It is necessary to investigate the characteristics of companies that enable them to face and respond to this critical situation more effectively. The purpose of the present study is to determine whether the presence of a female CEO during unanticipated critical events affects a company’s performance. Given the increasing significance of gender at the highest levels of management, more research has been conducted on female leadership. However, there is limited research on female leadership during disruptive periods and events. Over the course of 3 years (2017–2020), an empirical analysis was conducted on a sample of Italian publicly traded companies, meaning that data was collected and analyzed during the COVID-19 pandemic. The results indicate that female leadership during the pandemic has a positive impact on the performance of the company.
