Abstract

Purpose The authors examine if CEO education level and quality impacts firm's corporate social performance (CSP). Additionally, the authors investigate whether other CEO characteristics such as age, busyness, compensation and firm's governance quality moderate the relationship between CEO education and CSP. Design/methodology/approach The authors use panel regression framework amid set of controls for their analysis. The authors additionally use two-stage least squares regression (2SLS) for robustness tests. Findings The authors show that CEOs with a post-graduate business degree (PGBUS) impact firm's CSP positively, whereas other educational degree directly do not influence CSP. However, CEO's age, busyness, compensation and firm's governance quality are found negatively moderating such relationship. The results survive set of robustness tests, and results are consistent the roles of upper echelons in Indian firms' strategic behaviors. Originality/value The results seek for an integration of more ethics and social responsibility discussions in the different education levels including undergraduate degree in India to help engender a stronger sense of moral consciousness toward firms' stakeholders as the Indian economy continues to develop.

CEO教育与企业社会绩效:CEO特征与企业治理质量的调节作用

目的探讨CEO教育水平和素质对企业社会绩效的影响。此外，作者还研究了其他CEO特征，如年龄、忙碌程度、薪酬和公司治理质量，是否会调节CEO教育程度与CSP之间的关系。设计/方法/方法作者在一组控制中使用面板回归框架进行分析。作者还使用两阶段最小二乘回归(2SLS)进行稳健性测试。研究发现，具有商科研究生学历的ceo对企业CSP有正向影响，而其他学历对企业CSP没有直接影响。而CEO的年龄、忙碌程度、薪酬和公司治理质量对这种关系具有负向调节作用。研究结果通过稳健性检验，与高层管理人员在印度企业战略行为中的作用一致。原创性/价值研究结果寻求在印度不同的教育水平(包括本科学位)中整合更多的伦理和社会责任讨论，以帮助在印度经济持续发展的同时，对公司的利益相关者产生更强的道德意识。

期刊介绍： Benchmarking is big news for companies committed to total quality programmes. Its enthusiastic reception by many prominent business figures has created high levels of interest in a technique which promises big rewards for co-operating partners. Yet, like total quality itself, it must be understood in its proper context, and implemented single mindedly if it is to be effective - this journal helps companies to decide if benchmarking is right for them, and shows them how to go about it successfully.
