Questionnaire‐based consumer research was conducted in Serbia, as a country in a long post‐socialist transition. The focus was on consumers’ opinions of benefits and attitudes which motivate companies to act in a socially responsible way. Analysis resulted in a division of CSR motives into two main clusters: cluster I—stakeholder and value‐driven motives, and cluster II—egoistic motives, performance, and market‐driven motives. The division obviously concerned motives which were the socialist legacy (endogenous motives in cluster I), and motives imported from open market economies (exogenous motives in cluster II). Consumers’ perceptions are significantly different for endogenous and exogenous CSR motives. Exogenous motives are perceived as principal companies’ motives to practice CSR, but there are no significant correlations between the perception of these motives and consumers’ purchase decisions. Endogenous, value, and stakeholder‐driven motives are perceived in a significantly lower degree as CSR motivators with highly divided consumers’ opinions and female consumers rating them significantly higher. Consumers’ purchase decisions are in a statistically significant positive correlation with attribution of endogenous, value, and stakeholders’ needs‐driven motives. 相似文献

This research attempts to examine how specific stakeholder groups influence multinational enterprise (MNE) corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices in South Korea. Generally speaking, the results show that both primary (e.g., consumers, ‘internal managers and employees’ and business collaborators) and secondary stakeholders (e.g., governments, media, local community and NGOs) positively influence MNEs’ CSR. Contrary to previous research, this work also demonstrates that business collaborators have a negative and significant effect on MNEs’ CSR. Based on the findings this paper wishes to offer a framework for MNEs to thoroughly consider the impact of stakeholders when drawing a picture for their CSR strategy. Further, this work also hopes to contribute to current discussions in the area of CSR by bringing a new stream of research into the international business field. In addition, this work strives to provide useful and practical implications for MNEs wanting to operate in the South Korean market. 相似文献

Because corporate social responsibility (CSR) can be beneficial to both companies and its stakeholders, interest in factors that support CSR performance has grown in recent years. A thorough integration of CSR in core business processes is particularly important for achieving effective long-term CSR practices. Here, we explored the individual CSR-related competencies that support CSR implementation in a corporate context. First, a systematic literature review was performed in which relevant scientific articles were identified and analyzed. Next, 28 CSR directors and managers were interviewed. The literature review complemented with interview data resulted in the following eight distinct CSR-related competencies: (1)Anticipating CSR challenges; (2) Understanding CSR-relevant systems and subsystems; (3) Understanding CSR-relevant standards; (4) CSR management competencies, including (4a) Leading CSR programs, (4b) Managing CSR programs, and (4c) Identifying and realizing CSR-related business opportunities; (5) Realizing CSR-supportive interpersonal processes; (6) Employing CSR-supportive personal characteristics and attitudes; (7) Personal value-driven competencies, including (7a) Ethical normative competencies, (7b) Balancing personal ethical values and business objectives, and (7c) Realizing self-regulated CSR-related behaviors and active involvement; and (8) Reflecting on personal CSR views and experiences. Based on these results, implications for further research on this topic, as well as implications for practitioners, are discussed. 相似文献

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) and corporate social investment (CSI) have become terms that are used to examine some activities of businesses. With globalization pressures and increasing burdens on governments to provide comprehensive social services, the microscope has been trained on how firms play their part in sharing this burden. Views vary from those who believe that CSR and CSI are a distraction from profit maximization to those who argue that participation in such activities contributes to positive social transformation, while benefiting participating firms themselves. In this article, the author seeks to organize these debates within particular theoretical frameworks, positing CSR and CSI, together with the Socially Responsible Investment Index that has been used to evaluate corporate behavior in South Africa, as a novel way of addressing pressing development problems. 相似文献

Multinational enterprises (MNEs) act as important conduits of knowledge in advanced, small open economies (SMOPECs). This paper constructs a typology of asymmetric knowledge patterns by comparing net knowledge flows – or differences in sourcing and sharing – in the dual networks of headquarters of national MNEs and subsidiaries of foreign MNEs. We find both act as internal contributors to the MNE, but subsidiaries are more likely to act as external contributors to local partners or dual receivers of net knowledge flows from both networks, and headquarters as dual contributors to both networks. R&D intensity of the subsidiary and of the country are associated with different knowledge patterns of subsidiaries. Inclusion of asymmetric knowledge sourcing and sharing in internal corporate and external business networks contributes to our understanding of knowledge flow directionality via the focal unit, and the roles of national and foreign MNEs as knowledge conduits in SMOPECs. 相似文献

State‐owned multinational enterprises (SMNEs) have significant levels of state ownership and value‐adding activities outside their home countries. SMNEs are undergoing a renaissance, highlighted by their numbers in the global economy and their heightened importance; as a result, they are gaining new attention in the academic literature and in the popular press. This work discusses the reasons for this renaissance and examines the challenges involved in managing SMNEs. SMNEs represent a hybrid organizational form with the dual characteristics of both the state‐owned enterprise (SOE) and the multinational enterprise (MNE). When compared with private MNEs, SMNEs are generally less profit oriented and have a more complex corporate governance structure. They have less autonomy to establish their strategies, but also experience a lower level of uncertainty in their external environment. As a result, SMNEs have more difficulty than private MNEs in developing strategies and making organizational changes. Our study concludes with recommendations to managers for improving SMNE performance. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 相似文献

Corporate Social Responsibility and the Benefits of Employee Trust: A Cross-Disciplinary Perspective
S. Duane Hansen Benjamin B. Dunford Alan D. Boss R. Wayne Boss Ingo Angermeier 《Journal of Business Ethics》2011,102(1):29-45
Research on corporate social responsibility (CSR) has tended to focus on external stakeholders and outcomes, revealing little
about internal effects that might also help explain CSR-firm performance linkages and the impact that corporate marketing
strategies can have on internal stakeholders such as employees. The two studies (N = 1,116 and N = 2,422) presented in this article draw on theory from both corporate marketing and organizational behavior (OB) disciplines
to test the general proposition that employee trust partially mediates the relationship between CSR and employee attitudinal
and behavioral outcomes. Both studies provide evidence in support of these general relationships. Theoretical and practical
implications of these findings are discussed in the context of CSR and corporate marketing research. 相似文献

Private equity is impacting the global economy and competitive landscape of multinational enterprises (MNEs) worldwide. In this pioneering study, we find an important new pattern for global interfirm connections: an inward private equity investment is inductive for emerging MNEs to conduct an outward venture. This inward‐outward linkage implies that emerging MNEs are more likely to undergo a series of organizational changes after receiving private equity investments. These changes include restructuring their boards of directors, rebuilding their top management teams, reconfiguring their corporate resources, reframing the industry structure, and altering competitive dynamics. These organizational changes induce emerging MNEs to modify their strategies such as speeding up the internationalization process, locating additional outward ventures in advanced economies, and choosing more complex entry modes, particularly cross‐border mergers and acquisitions (M&As). We describe this type of evolving internationalization of emerging MNEs as a “morphing” process with in‐depth case studies on emerging Chinese MNEs including Lenovo, Zoomlion, Geely, Alibaba.com, Huawei, NVC Lighting, and BYD. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 相似文献

Corporate Social Responsibility and Crony Capitalism in Taiwan 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has become increasingly popular in advanced economies in the West. In contrast, CSR
awareness in Asia is rather low, both on the corporate and state level. However, recent events have shown that the CSR is
receiving more attention by corporations in Asia. Recent development in CSR in Taiwan is one example of such a trend. A 2005
survey on the 700 publicly listed companies in Taiwan on␣CSR has highlighted the current CSR situation. Concurrently, the
numbers of corporate scandals and corruption have dramatically increased over the past 6 years. Corporate CSR activities co-existing
with pervasive corporate scandals create a phenomenon of contradictions. This article aims to report via the survey findings
the current development of business ethics in corporate Taiwan; and to interpret the findings in context of Taiwan’s business
ethos, especially its Confucian familism and crony capitalism.

Despite recognizing the importance of developing authentic corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs, noticeably absent
from the literature is consideration for how employees distinguish between authentic and inauthentic CSR programs. This is
somewhat surprising given that employees are essentially the face of their organization and are largely expected to act as
ambassadors for the organization’s CSR program (Collier and Esteban in Bus Ethics 16:19–33, 2007). The current research, by conducting depth interviews with employees, builds a better understanding of how employees differentiate
between authentic and inauthentic CSR programs, and how these judgments influence their perceptions of the organization. We
find that employees rely on two different referent standards to form authenticity judgments—the extent to which the image
put forth in the CSR program aligns with the organization’s true identity and the extent to which the CSR program itself is
developmental. To assess the former, employees draw on cues about resource commitment, alignment between elements of the organization’s
CSR program, emotional engagement, justice, and embeddedness. The latter assessments are based on the extent to which the
organization adopts a leadership role with regards to its CSR initiatives. We also find that perceived authenticity can lead
to positive outcomes such as organizational identification and employee connections. This study contributes to the broad literatures
on both CSR and authenticity, as well as more specifically adding to the conversation on authenticity as a potentially valuable
lens for enriching business ethics theorizing. 相似文献

With growing economic globalization, returnee managers who have obtained education or work experience overseas play a much more crucial role in corporations, especially in emerging economies. Using hand-collected managerial background data from a sample of firms listed on the Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges from 2010 to 2014, this paper investigates the impact of returnee managers on corporate social responsibility (CSR) performance. We find that returnee managers can promote CSR performance. Further analyses show that the impact of returnee managers on CSR is more pronounced when managers have a foreign study background compared to managers with foreign work experience. The impact only holds when managers obtained their experience in developed economies. When enterprises face greater information asymmetry, returnee managers are more willing to use CSR as a tool to convey a positive image to stakeholders. CSR can help managers reduce information asymmetry and improve firm value. The results are robust through a series of robustness checks including a propensity score matching (PSM) procedure and a Heckman two-state sample selection model. This paper contributes to growing studies on the economic consequences of returnee managers and advances our understanding of the determinants of CSR at the individual level. The results also have implications for government and enterprises attracting talents with overseas experience. 相似文献

Company support for employee volunteerism (CSEV) benefits companies, employees, and society while helping companies meet the
expectations of corporate social responsibility (CSR). A nationally representative telephone survey of 990 Canadian companies
examined CSEV through the lens of Porter and Kramer’s (2006, ‘Strategy and society: the link between competitive advantage
and corporate social responsibility’, Harvard Business Review, 78–92.) CSR model. The results demonstrated that Canadian companies passively support employee volunteerism in a variety
of ways, such as allowing employees to take time off without pay (71%) or adjusting their work schedules (78%). These Responsive
CSR efforts contribute to the company’s value chain by enhancing employee morale, a perceived CSEV benefit. More active forms
of support requiring company time or money are less common; for example, 29% allow time off with pay. Companies perceive that
support for employee volunteering enhances their public image, a Responsive CSR strategy when employed to ameliorate a damaged
reputation or a Strategic CSR strategy when contributing to a competitive position. A minority perceive challenges like covering
the workload. Many companies target and/or exclude particular causes and link CSEV efforts with other philanthropic donations,
suggesting a Strategic CSR application of CSEV. Where programs exist, they frequently are neither tracked nor evaluated, suggesting
that companies are not using these programs as strategically as they might. 相似文献

Factors Influencing Growth Potential of E‐Commerce in Emerging Economies: An Institution‐Based N‐OLI Framework and Research Propositions 下载免费PDF全文
Given the tremendous success of the Internet and e‐commerce in developed countries, emerging economies are quickly embracing information technology as well. The purpose of this study is to examine factors (both determinants and deterrents) influencing the growth potential of e‐commerce in emerging economies from a multitheoretical perspective (namely, institution‐based network‐ownership, location, and internalization, i.e., i‐based N‐OLI framework). Factors are identified at three levels. At the global level, we identify multilateral agreements, strategic behavior of multinational enterprises (MNEs), and technological innovation as the key factors. At the national level, institutional environment, infrastructure, and culture are identified. The transactional level examines the role of integrity of transactions, online intermediaries, and network externalities and value clustering as the key factors for growth of e‐commerce in emerging economies. Based on the multitheoretical framework, the study advances several propositions and highlights implications for MNEs, both from developed markets and emerging markets, operating in emerging economies. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 相似文献

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has become a very important issue in the business and academic communities alike. However, among various activities of CSR, corporate philanthropy has not attracted much academic effort to date. Therefore, many firms find it challenging to establish the most appropriate mix of philanthropic activities. This study tries to find the most effective strategic mix of corporate philanthropy. For this purpose, three dimensions of philanthropic activities (i.e. who, what, and to whom) are examined, along with the most effective attributes of each. The results show that consumers prefer the activities in which firms, rather than employees, donate their own products to the general public. Implications of the research results are discussed from an academic as well as from a practical standpoint. 相似文献

Corporate Social Responsibility for Developing Country Multinational Corporations: Lost War in Pertaining Global Competitiveness? 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
This article explores the conceptual and practical gap existing between the developed and developing countries in relation
to corporate social responsibility (CSR), or the North-South ‘CSR Divide’, through the analysis of possible impact on the
competitiveness of developing countries’ and economies’ SMEs and MNEs in globalization. To do so, this article first reviewed
the traditional wisdom on the concept of strategic CSR developed in the North and the role that CSR engagement can play in
corporate competitiveness, and compare with the impact on the competitive advantage of the South through the supply chains.
It points out that among the many factors that could explain the ‘CSR Divide’, the negative impact of CSR on comparative advantage
is the final resort where developing countries are reluctant and defensive toward western-style CSR. It did point out that
developing countries are changing their approaches to make CSR work in favor of their competitive position in global trade,
such as China who has started to adopt proactive approach by becoming CSR standards-setter. This article concludes with two
policy proposals that aim to bridge the CSR gap, the first is to improve CSR standard-setting participation from both sides,
and the second to search for solutions in the international investment legal framework which will define corporate obligations
in relating to CSR in a more explicit way. 相似文献

This study aims to examine how service employees’ perceptions of corporate social responsibility (CSR) affect their creativity at work and its mediated link through compassion at work and their intrinsic motivation. Working with a sample of 250 hotel employees in South Korea, structural equation modeling is employed to test research hypotheses. The results of this research suggest that employees’ perceptions of CSR are positively related to employee creativity. Second, compassion at work mediated the positive relationship between employees’ perceptions of CSR and creativity. Third, employees’ intrinsic motivation also mediated the positive relationship between employees’ perceptions of CSR and employee creativity. Finally, the relationship between employees’ perceptions of CSR and employee creativity is sequentially and fully mediated by compassion at work and their intrinsic motivation. The theoretical and managerial implications of the results and limitations of the study are discussed, and future research directions are suggested. 相似文献

Little is known about employees’ responses to their organizations’ initiatives in corporate social responsibility (CSR). Academics have already identified a few outcomes regarding CSR’s impact on employees’ attitudes and behaviours; however, studies explaining the underlying mechanisms that drive employees’ favourable responses to CSR remain largely unexplored. Based on organizational identification (OI) theory, this study surveyed 155 employees of a petrochemical organization to better elucidate why, how and under which circumstances employees might positively respond to organizations’ CSR initiatives in the controversial oil industry sector. Findings first support that perceived CSR (i.e. environmental CSR) positively relates to employees’ OI which is known as an important antecedent of employees’ outcomes (Riketta, J Vocat Behavior, 66(2):358, 2005). Furthermore, results highlighted that the relationship between perceived CSR and employees’ OI is mediated by organizational trust. Finally, this study also revealed that some contingency factors such as employees’ attributions of self-centred motives to their organization’s investment in environmental issues can moderate the relationship between perceived CSR and organizational trust. Based on these findings, it is argued that CSR initiatives can support organizations’ efforts to maintain a strong relationship with their employees, and gain their support even in a controversial industry sector. 相似文献

Although a number of studies have shown that corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities often lead to greater organisational
performance in western developed economies, researchers are yet to examine the strategic value of CSR in emerging economies.
Using survey data from 280 firms operating in Dubai, this study examines the link between CSR activities and organisational
performance. The results show that CSR has a positive relationship with all three measures of organisational performance:
financial performance, employee commitment, and corporate reputation. These results reinforce the accumulating body of empirical
support for the positive impact of CSR on performance and challenge the dominant assumption that, given the weak institutional
framework in emerging economies, CSR activities drain resources and compromise firms’ competitiveness. 相似文献

This study contributes to the burgeoning research on corporate social responsibility (CSR) at the individual level of analysis, in a hitherto largely neglected developing country context. Using survey information collected from 297 employees in public and private enterprises in Kosovo, this study examines how and to what extent employees’ perceptions of their employer's CSR activities are associated with their intention to emigrate. Applying a needs-based framework, this research provides evidence that employees’ perceptions of CSR are positively related to the meaningfulness of their work and job satisfaction and negatively related to intention to emigrate. Additionally, results confirm that the association between CSR perceptions and emigration intention is mediated by the meaningfulness of work and job satisfaction. From a practical point of view, this research should encourage private and public enterprises in developing countries to enhance and extend their CSR engagement. 相似文献

This study investigates whether employees attribute different motives to their organization's corporate social responsibility (CSR) efforts and if these motives influence employee performance. Specifically, we investigate whether employees could distinguish between intrinsic and extrinsic CSR motives by surveying 229 employee–supervisor dyads from various industries (companies that have reputable CSR programs in Portugal), and the impact of these perceptions on in‐role and extra‐role performance of subordinates. We found that employee task performance increases when employees attribute both intrinsic and extrinsic motives for CSR. Moreover, when employees perceive that their organization invests in a CSR practice that is both intrinsic and extrinsic, they also tend to exert extra effort in their work. Theoretical and practical implications are also discussed alongside future research directions. 相似文献
