Resumen

El objetivo de este trabajo es determinar el efecto del tamaño y la independencia de la junta directiva en el desempeño económico en empresas familiares y no familiares colombianas. La relación se analizó
mediante modelos de regresión en un panel de datos balanceado, para ello se analizaron tres aspectos (tamaño e independencia de la junta directiva y carácter familiar de la empresa). La muestra comprendió 2,170 observaciones (310 empresas cada año) durante el período 2008-2014. Se encontró que: i) el tamaño de la junta directiva influye en sentido negativo en el ROA y el ROE en las empresas familiares; ii) hay influencia positiva de los miembros independientes de la junta directiva en los ingresos operacionales (IO), tanto para empresas familiares como para las no familiares, y iii) existe influencia positiva del carácter familiar en el indicador ROA; no obstante, la relación es negativa cuando son empresas familiares de primera generación. Con base en los hallazgos empíricos se propone a los entes de control promover campañas para difundir el impacto de la junta directiva y del adecuado rol de los miembros independientes en el desempeño de las empresas y se invita a los empresarios a aplicar mejores prácticas de gobierno corporativo.
