SUMMARY:

This study aims to analyze the profile female participation in high-ranking positions in the light of the Upper- Echelons Theory in non-financial companies. Based on Upper- Echelons Theory, sought to identify observable female characteristics that serve as a basis for the selection and development of top-ranking executives, especially in the female corporate framework, in order to contribute to the reduction of historically and socially acquired prejudices through the preservation of the status quo, as appears in the Theory of Justification of the System. Thus, to achieve the expected objective, a mapping and quantification of female participation will be carried out during the years 2011 to 2022, as well as an analysis of the observable characteristics (age, profession, education, experience and dual roles) of 565 women in the last year of analysis. The research studied the Board of Directors, Fiscal Council, Executive Board and President (CEO) of 321 non-financial companies listed in Brazil, Bolsa and Balcão [B]³. For data analysis, the research is characterized by having a quali-quantitative approach, qualitative because the data collection is based on documents and their reading, as well as the consequent application of content analysis of the reports and quantitative because of the quantification of the studied variables and application through descriptive statistics. The results showed that the sectors with the highest proportion of women in their positions are public utilities, technology and education. It also identified that the position of the board has the highest proportion of women with an average of 11.90, just after the supervisory board and administration, with 10.57 and 9.81, respectively. Finally, it identified that 76% of women have some type of postgraduate degree, that their average age is 51.88 years, the area of training that most admits women in more prominent positions is administration, only 19 women have dual degrees. positions and 99.29% of the analyzed women have previous experiences.
