ABSTRACTPurpose: This research intends to investigate the effects of formal market institutions on managers’ willingness to use personal networks, such as guanxi in China, for business success.Methodology: We collect data from a major cellular phone manufacturer and its 277 retailers across China. We employ Fuzzy set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (FsQCA) to identify necessary conditions and causal recipes (combinations of antecedent conditions) for three elements of guanxi between boundary spanners (i.e., ganqing, information favor, and business support) and a firm’s operational performance.Findings: We find that formal market institutions are not the sole factor influencing managers’ decisions on exercising guanxi practices and, in turn, achieving interfirm collaboration. We also find that there exists more than one causal recipe leading to each key element of guanxi between boundary spanners. The results also suggest that well-established formal market institutions would never be able to completely eliminate guanxi practices in China.Originality: This paper is among the first to examine the joint effects of formal market institutions and key characteristics of interfirm relationships on the use of guanxi practices. 相似文献

A majority of the countries in the world are still considered “developing,” with a per capita income of less than U$1,000.
Hahn (2008, Journal of Business Ethics
78, 711–721) recently proposed an ambitious business ethics research agenda for integrating the “bottom-of-the-pyramid” countries
(Prahalad and Hart, 2002, Strategy and Competition
20, 2–14) through sustainable development and corporate citizenship. Hahn’s work is among the growing field of research in comparative
business ethics including the global business ethics index (Michalos, 2008, Journal of Business Ethics
79(1), 9–19; Scholtens and Dam, 2008, Journal of Business Ethics
75(3), 273–284; Tsalikis and Seaton, 2008, Journal of Business Ethics
75(3), 229–238). This article is complementary to Hahn’s work and it advocates an urgent need for business ethics researchers
to globally integrate the bottom-of-the-pyramid countries through a fundamental re-definition of the global economic triad,
including the United States, Western Europe, and Japan [Ohmae, 1985, Triad Power: The Coming Shape of Global Competition (New York: Free Press)]. The definition that we propose is based on business systems and institutional perspectives that
include the bottom-of-the-pyramid countries. We also propose to broaden the research in business ethics to enable comparisons
across business systems indifferent income levels. 相似文献

Abstract In terms of the political economy framework, Mohr, Fisher, and Nevin (1996) have shed light on the issue of how the internal economic structure and processes respectively moderate the effects of channel communication. However, the question of whether and how the internal sociopolitical structure and processes respectively moderate the effects of channel communication has not been empirically investigated. To complement Mohr, Fisher, and Nevin's (1996) work and address the above research question, this study examines how power structure (symmetrical or asymmetrical) and relationalism (relational versus discrete) respectively affect the marginaleffects of communication on trust and perceived performance in channels of distribution. It was found that power symmetry enhances the positive effects of communication, while relationalism undermines them. Theoretical and managerial implications were drawn from these findings. 相似文献

Despite their ethical intentions, ethically minded consumers rarely purchase ethical products (Auger and Devinney: 2007, Journal of Business Ethics
76, 361–383). This intentions–behaviour gap is important to researchers and industry, yet poorly understood (Belk et al.: 2005, Consumption, Markets and Culture
8(3), 275–289). In order to push the understanding of ethical consumption forward, we draw on what is known about the intention–behaviour
gap from the social psychology and consumer behaviour literatures and apply these insights to ethical consumerism. We bring
together three separate insights – implementation intentions (Gollwitzer: 1999, American Psychologist
54(7), 493–503), actual behavioural control (ABC) (Ajzen and Madden: 1986, Journal of Experimental Social Psychology
22, 453–474; Sheeran et al.: 2003, Journal of Social Psychology, 42, 393–410) and situational context (SC) (Belk: 1975, Journal of Consumer Research
2, 157–164) – to construct an integrated, holistic conceptual model of the intention–behaviour gap of ethically minded consumers.
This holistic conceptual model addresses significant limitations within the ethical consumerism literature, and moves the
understanding of ethical consumer behaviour forward. Further, the operationalisation of this model offers insight and strategic
direction for marketing managers attempting to bridge the intention–behaviour gap of the ethically minded consumer. 相似文献

Using UK bank data for 466 new venture loan applications, we explore the determinants of interest margin, the sanctioning
decision and the amount borrowed when these factors are considered simultaneously. Collateral levels greatly influence the
size of credits to new ventures, a finding consistent with existing work on firm foundation rates and assets (Black et al.,
Economic Journal 106, 60–75, 1996; de Meza and Webb, The Economic Journal 109, 153–163, 1999; Evans and Jovanovic, Journal of Political Economy 97(4), 808–827, 1989; Holtz-Eakin et al., 1994). Consistent with the RAND Journal of Economics 25, 334–347, Diversionary Models of debt, firms with larger credits enjoy discounted interest margins even when we have controlled
for firm size. 相似文献

ABSTRACTPurpose: The goal of this paper is to investigate whether salesperson proactive behavior mediates the relationship between sales manager servant leadership and salesperson overall performance rating by the sales manager. Moreover, it examines whether salesperson customer orientation and political skill moderate the sales manager servant leadership ? salesperson proactive behavior ─ salesperson overall performance. Design/methodology/approach: Empirical analysis is based on dyadic data from 181 industrial salespeople and their sales managers in a range of different industries (including both manufacturing and service industries). To analyze the multilevel moderated mediation process, this investigation uses Multilevel Structural Equation Modeling (MSEM). Findings: Sales manager servant leadership was positively related to salespeople overall performance rating through their proactive behavior except when their customer orientation was low. Moreover, this relationship between sales manager servant leadership and overall performance rating through proactive work behavior was stronger the greater the salespeople consumer orientation and political skill. Research implications: The study suggests that sales manager servant leadership is indirectly related to salesperson overall performance rating through salesperson proactive behavior. The findings also support subsequent research on salesperson values, skills, and behaviors as moderators in the servant leadership – proactive behavior – overall performance rating relationship. Understanding how these salesperson factors interact with sales management leadership to produce organizational outcomes (e.g., stress, engagement, organizational commitment) are questions that sales researchers may wish to pursue via further study. Practical implications: Sales managers should employ servant leadership to stimulate salespeople proactive work behavior. This study clearly indicates the salespeople need to adopt customer orientation and to have political skill. Hence, sales managers need to try to improve the customer orientation and the political skill of their salespeople through selection procedures or training programs. Originality/value: The relationship between sales manager servant leadership and salesperson overall performance through proactive work behavior has not been addressed and tested in the literature to date. 相似文献

Ethical dilemmas involving tax issues were identified by members of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
as posing the most difficult ethical problem for them (Finn et al., Journal of Business Ethics
7(8), pp. 607–609, 1988). The KPMG tax shelter fraud case proves that the tax profession has not gone untainted in the age
of numerous accounting and corporate scandals, such as the Enron débacle (Sikka and Hampton, Accounting Forum
29(3), 325–343, 2005). High-profile scandals serve to highlight the problems caused by differences in ethical judgement among
accountants and tax practitioners and the issue of ethics has been brought publicly to the forefront of the profession. Nevertheless,
the nature and dimension of ethical issues in tax practice have been largely unexplored (Erard, Journal of Public Economics
52(2), 163–197, 1993; Marshall et al., Journal of Business Ethics
17(12), 1265–1279, 1998; Frecknall Hughes, Unpublished PhD Thesis, The University of Leeds, 2002). This research aims to contribute
to the debate on ethics in tax practice by reporting interview data on tax practitioners’ perceptions of ethics in the jurisdictions
of Ireland and the United Kingdom and exploring the link or equation of ethics with risk management. 相似文献

Determinants of Corporate Social Responsibility Disclosure Ratings by Spanish Listed Firms 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Carmelo Reverte 《Journal of Business Ethics》2009,88(2):351-366
The aim of this paper is to analyze whether a number of firm and industry characteristics, as well as media exposure, are
potential determinants of corporate social responsibility (CSR) disclosure practices by Spanish listed firms. Empirical studies
have shown that CSR disclosure activism varies across companies, industries, and time (Gray et al., Accounting, Auditing & Accountability Journal
8(2), 47–77, 1995; Journal of Business Finance & Accounting
28(3/4), 327–356, 2001; Hackston and Milne, Accounting, Auditing & Accountability Journal
9(1), 77–108, 1996; Cormier and Magnan, Journal of International Financial Management and Accounting
1(2), 171–195, 2003; Cormier et al., European Accounting Review
14(1), 3–39, 2005), which is usually justified by reference to several theoretical constructs, such as the legitimacy, stakeholder,
and agency theories. Our findings evidence that firms with higher CSR ratings present a statistically significant larger size
and a higher media exposure, and belong to more environmentally sensitive industries, as compared to firms with lower CSR
ratings. However, neither profitability nor leverage seem to explain differences in CSR disclosure practices between Spanish
listed firms. The most influential variable for explaining firms’ variation in CSR ratings is media exposure, followed by
size and industry. Therefore, it seems that the legitimacy theory, as captured by those variables related to public or social
visibility, is the most relevant theory for explaining CSR disclosure practices of Spanish listed firms. 相似文献

The factor structure of the Multidimensional Ethics Scale (MES; Reidenbach and Robin: 1988, Journal of Business Ethics
7, 871–879; 1990, Journal of Business Ethics
9, 639–653) was examined for the 8-item short form (N = 328) and the original 30-item pool (N = 260). The objectives of the study were: to verify the dimensionality of the MES; to increase the amount of true cross-scenario
variance through the use of 18 scenarios varying in moral intensity (Jones: 1991, Academy of Management Review
16, 366–395); and, to examine the items for measurement precision using item-response theory (IRT) methods. Results of confirmatory
and exploratory factor analysis failed to conclusively support the hypothesized 3- (short form) or 5-factor (long form) structure;
both instruments were instead dominated by a general factor. Item response theory analyses using Samejima’s (1969, Psychometrika Monograph Supplement
34, (4, Pt. 2)) graded response model revealed that many items in the 30-item pool performed very well, and suggested that a
different collection of items be used to form a short-form version of the MES. Our proposed 10-item instrument includes more
discriminating items than the 8-item version, and has the added advantage of including two items from each of the five ethical
philosophies represented in the original 30-item pool.

This study examined experimentally the effect of retaliation strength and accounting students’ level of moral reasoning, on
their propensity to blow the whistle (PBW) when faced with a serious wrongdoing. Fifty-one senior accounting students enrolled
in an auditing course offered by a large New Zealand university participated in the study. Participants responded to three
hypothetical whistle-blowing scenarios and completed an instrument that measured moral reasoning (Welton et al., 1994, Accounting Education. International Journal (Toronto, Ont.)
3(1), 35–50) on one of two conditions – i.e., strong or weak retaliation for whistle-blowing. Consistent with the results of
Arnold and Ponemon (1991, Auditing: A Journal of Practice and Theory
10, 1–15) this study found that the strength of retaliation and participants’ moral reasoning level positively affected their
PBW. Unlike results reported in Arnold and Ponemon (1991, Auditing; A Journal of Practice and Theory
10, 1–15) a significant interaction effect of moral reasoning level and retaliation on participants’ PBW was not found. However,
results showed that a participant’s gender has a significant effect on the relationship between his or her moral reasoning
level and PBW. These results support the need to improve ethical awareness through accounting education and to increase protection
for whistle-blowing (Miceli 2004, Journal of Management Inquiry
13, 364–366). Furthermore, many participants found it difficult to take a stand when serious wrongdoing is discovered. Therefore,
policymakers must exercise caution when placing heavy reliance on whistle-blowing, especially when whistle-blower protection
processes are complex and not easily accessible, and processes to facilitate whistle-blowing may vary substantially between
public and private sector organizations (Scholtens, 2003, Review of the operation of the Protected Disclosures Act 2000: Report to the Minister of State Services). 相似文献

Four predictors were posited to affect business student attitudes about the social responsibilities of business, also known
as corporate social responsibility (CSR). Applying Forsyth’s (1980, Journal of Personality and Social Psychology
39, 175–184, 1992, Journal of Business Ethics
11, 461–470) personal moral philosophy model, we found that ethical idealism had a positive relationship with CSR attitudes,
and ethical relativism a negative relationship. We also found materialism to be negatively related to CSR attitudes. Spirituality
among business students did not significantly predict CSR attitudes. Understanding the relationship between CSR attitudes
and the significant predictors has important implications for researchers and teachers in particular. 相似文献

This paper applies Wempe’s (2005, Business Ethics Quarterly
15(1), 113–135) boundary conditions that define the external and internal logics for contractarian business ethics theory, as a system of argumentation for evaluating current or prospective institutional arrangements for arriving at the “good life,” based on the principles and practices of social justice. It does so by showing that a more dynamic, process-oriented, and pluralist ‘dialogic twist’ to Donaldson and Dunfee’s (2003, ‘Social Contracts: sic et non’, in P. Heugens, H. van Oosterhout and J. Vromen (eds.), The Social Institutions of Capitalism: Evolution and Design of Social Contracts (Cheltenham, UK, Edward Elgar Publishing, Ltd.) pp. 109–126; 1999, Ties that Bind: A Social Contracts Approach to Business Ethics (Boston, MA, Harvard Business School Press); 1995, Economics and Philosophy
11(1), 85–112; 1994, Academy of Management Review
19(2), 252–284.) integrated social contracting theory (ISCT) of economic ethics will further develop this promising and influential approach to moral reasoning, ethical decision-making, and stakeholder governance. This evolutionary, interactive learning-based model of ethical norm generation via dialogic stakeholder engagement is particularly appropriate within economic communities that are experiencing value conflict and pressures for institutional change.Jerry M. Calton is Professor of Management at the University of Hawaii at Hilo. His research interests encompass multi-stakeholder learning dialogue, trust-based network governance, and the social contracting approach to ethical decision-making.

An Examination of the Structure
of Executive Compensation and Corporate Social Responsibility:
A Canadian Investigation 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
We explore the extent to which Boards use executive compensation to incite firms to act in accordance with social and environmental objectives (e.g., Johnson, R. and D. Greening: 1999, Academy of Management Journal
42(5), 564–578 ; Kane, E. J.: 2002, Journal of Banking and Finance
26, 1919–1933.). We examine the association between executive compensation and corporate social responsibility (CSR) for 77 Canadian firms using three key components of executives’ compensation structure: salary, bonus, and stock options. Similar to prior research (McGuire, J., S. Dow and K. Argheyd: 2003, Journal of Business Ethics
45(4), 341–359), we measure three different aspects of CSR, which include Total CSR as well as CSR Strengths and CSR Weaknesses. CSR Strengths and CSR Weaknesses capture the positive and negative aspects of CSR, respectively. We find significant positive relationships between: (1) Salary and CSR Weaknesses, (2) Bonus and CSR Strengths, (3) Stock Options and Total CSR; and (4) Stock Options and CSR Strengths. Our findings suggest the importance of the structure of executive compensation in encouraging socially responsible actions, particularly for larger Canadian firms. This in turn suggests that executive compensation can be an effective tool in aligning executives’ welfare with that of the “common good”, which results in more socially responsible firms (Bebchuk, L., J. Fried and D. Walker: 2002, The University of Chicago Law Review
69, 751–846; Zalewski, D.: 2003, Journal of Economic Issues
37(2), 503–509). In addition, our findings suggest the importance of institutional context in influencing the association between executive compensation and CSR. Further implications for practice and research are discussed.Lois. Mahoney is an Assistant Professor at Eastern Michigan University.
