    • The spirit is willing, but the institutions are weak: disclosure of corporate social responsibility and the financial sector in transition
    Authors: Khurshid, Djalilov; Christopher A., Hartwell;  Advisor: -;  Co-Author: - (2023)

    Evidence exploring the relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR) disclosure and corporate financial performance (CFP) is consistently inconsistent, if not outright contradictory. We assert that much of this confusion is due to a failure to integrate both firm internal performance and the external environment into theoretical and empirical analyses of the effect of CSR disclosure on firm efficiency. This paper attempts to bring these two facets together in an examination of banking sector efficiency in a situation where the entire external environment is in flux, namely transition.
    • Family oblige the link between CSR and succession intention in small and medium family firms
    Authors: Andrea, Stübner; Svenja, Jarchow;  Advisor: -;  Co-Author: - (2023)

    This study investigates how family continuation, namely family tradition and succession intention, alter the socially responsible behavior of small and medium sized (SME) family firms. Using a unique dataset, we have conducted multiple regressions on survey data from German family SMEs and show a statistically and economically significant increase in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) alongside the planning of family succession.

Family tradition didn’t correlate with a change in CSR behaviour to a relevant extent. In ou...

    Authors: Sheehy, Benedict; Khan, Habib Zaman; Prananingtyas, Paramita;  Advisor: -;  Co-Author: - (2023)

    A policy shift from soft law to hard law rests on assumptions about motivating compliance. The basic idea is that people comply with soft law for personal, moral reasons but are motivated to comply with hard law by self-interested fear. While logically this is obvious, there is also support for the view that self-determination, organisational justice and social influence are better at motivating compliance in certain contexts. Currently, there is a global policy shift moving corporate social responsibility (CSR) from a voluntary, organisation-based initiative to a practice mandated by law. This shift provides an opportunity to investigate the phenomenon of motivation in law. The current study investigates how the shift to mandatory CSR impacts motivation. Based on an analysis of the...
