“…Women's way of thinking differs from men's on the basis of some distinctive characteristics, such as their more resilient, equanimous, consensual, and mediating sense of leadership [58]. In addition, they are characterized by their ability to propose strategies that enable them to significantly contribute to the achievement of management results in companies and to successfully contribute to the achievement of strategic and corporate sustainability objectives [59,60].…”

The purpose of this article is to analyze resilient female leadership as a sustainable promoter of business excellence in small and medium-sized Wayuu handicraft marketing enterprises. The present study uses a quantitative methodology with a non-experimental cross-sectional field design, with an analysis and interpretation of the data provided by the surveyed subjects. A 33-item questionnaire with multiple response options is applied. The population consists of 110.012 eradicated women. A probabilistic sampling technique is applied with a margin of error of 5% and a confidence level of 95%, for a total of 383 Wayuu women entrepreneurs in the Department of La Guajira, Colombia. Our findings explain that female leadership transcends the boundaries of business management, being present in both small and medium enterprises (SMEs). This study confirms the positive relationship between sustainability and resilience in the Wayuu handicrafts market, being women who turn their actions into success factors by working with women who show technical, conceptual, and human skills.

“…42 Thereafter, we tried to develop binary logistic regressions as well as neural networks to predict pro-environmental behaviors; however, the models showed no predictive power and were therefore discarded. Due to that, nonlinear canonical correlation analysis (OVERALLS) 44 was used, as an exploratory multivariate technique, to assess the relative contributions of k>2 sets of data, demographic and variables (nature visits, connectedness nature, and physical activity). This technique allows to determine how similar the sets of categorical variables are to one another as described by Frie and Janssen.…”

Purpose Examine the association of visits to the natural environment, connectedness to nature, physical activity, and the adoption of pro-environmental behaviors (PEBs) in individuals aged 18 years or older. Design Cross-sectional study. Setting City of Vila Real, located in the north of Portugal. Subjects We recruited 194 individuals (61 men and 133 women) aged 18-75 years. Mesures A self-administered questionnaire was used to measure nature visits, connectedness to nature, PEBs, and demographic characteristics. Neighborhood green space was appreciated through a Simplified Land Occupation Map and physical activity was measured using ActiGraph accelerometers (wGT3X-BT). Analysis Correlations and nonlinear canonical correlation analysis were used to analyze the data. The coefficients of canonical and multiple correlations were calculated. Results Nature visits were associated with involvement in environmental volunteering (V = .317, P ≤ .05) among men. In these, higher levels of moderate-vigorous PA were associated with green travel behavior (η2 = .325, P ≤ .05). Connectedness with nature was related (P ≤ .05) to private sphere behaviors, such as purchase of eco-products (η2 = .191) and local/seasonal products (η2 = .186) in females and encouraging care and protection of natural environment (η2 = .336, P ≤ .01) in males. Conclusions Nature visits, connection to nature, and physical activity levels were related to the adoption of PEBs in the private and public sphere, and these relationships differed between men and women.

“…Recent research indicates that women are more likely to introduce innovations that enhance the venture's impact and social responsibility (e.g., Loarne‐Lemaire, Bertrand, Razgallah, Maalaoui, & Kallmuenzer, 2021; Loarne‐Lemaire, Maalaoui, & Dana, 2017; Peake & Eddleston, 2021). For instance, women are more likely to pursue environmentally friendly process innovations that efficiently utilize resources to lower production costs (Loarne‐Lemaire et al, 2021; Reichstein & Salter, 2006). When communication is frequent, task‐related coordination is enhanced (McPherson et al, 2001), enabling women to identify areas where process innovations are needed.…”

Our study provides novel insights into how women influence SME innovation in emerging markets, despite the resource-constrained and gender-restrictive contexts in which they are embedded. Building from transactive memory (TM) theory and using data from 741 SMEs in 33 emerging markets, we develop and test a contextualized framework of SME innovation that considers gendered effects in ownership, workforce composition, and communication. Findings indicate that in emerging markets, femaleled SMEs employ more women than male-led SMEs, and more women in SMEs (even at modest levels) enhance and enable the TM system to deliver more innovation outcomes. Findings also suggest that emerging-market SMEs can be innovative through differing configurations of women in ownership and workforce composition, underscoring the importance of gendered and contextual considerations in innovation research.
