This study attempts to understand how the economic crisis has affected the behavior of SMEs with high female participation in the decision-making process. To that end, the quantitative research focused on a sample of 425 small and medium-sized enterprises in Spain relying on a questionnaire-based survey. The results of the empirical study offer new evidence on the effects of the recession on decision-making female-dominated bodies in organizations and illustrate the importance of corporate governance issues. In addition, the research provides greater knowledge of female entrepreneurs in a country severely affected by the global economic crisis. Several recommendations are proposed to provide a theoretical basis for governments to reduce glass ceiling and promote women’s empowerment policies. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/S11-17R-CEMBE info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/S42-17R-CREVALOR info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/ECO2017-86305-C4-3-R info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 2.576 2019 ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES 120 / 265 = 0.453 2019 Q2 T2 ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES 53 / 123 = 0.431 2019 Q2 T2 GREEN & SUSTAINABLE SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY 26 / 41 = 0.634 2019 Q3 T2 GREEN & SUSTAINABLE SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY 6 / 8 = 0.75 2019 Q3 T3 0.581 2019 Energy Engineering and Power Technology 2019 Q2 Environmental Science (miscellaneous) 2019 Q2 Renewable Energy, Sustainability and the Environment 2019 Q2 Management, Monitoring, Policy and Law 2019 Q2 Geography, Planning and Development 2019 Q2 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Gargallo Castel, Ana Felicitas Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0001-8054-8997 4012 650 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
