Abstract

This study takes a managerial cognition perspective and investigates how managerial negative interpretation of the external environment influences firm engagement in environmental CSR. We also explore how ownership structure and market demand uncertainty affect this relationship. The analysis of survey data from 189 firms in China shows that when managers interpret their external environment in a negative light, they first increase their attention to firms’ environmental footprint and then decrease their environmental commitment as the assessment of the external environment becomes increasingly negative. Our results also suggest that both state ownership and market uncertainty strengthen this curvilinear relationship.

管理负面解读与环境企业社会责任：来自中国的证据

本研究从管理认知的角度出发，探讨了管理者对外部环境的负面解读如何影响企业对环境企业社会责任的参与。我们还探讨了股权结构和市场需求不确定性如何影响这种关系。对中国189家企业调查数据的分析表明，当管理者从负面角度解读外部环境时，他们首先会增加对企业环境足迹的关注，然后随着外部环境的评估变得越来越负面，他们会减少对环境的承诺。我们的研究结果还表明，国有制和市场不确定性都强化了这种曲线关系。

期刊介绍： The Asia Pacific Journal of Management publishes original manuscripts on management and organizational research in the Asia Pacific region, encompassing Pacific Rim countries and mainland Asia. APJM focuses on the extent to which each manuscript addresses matters that pertain to the most fundamental question: “What determines organization success?” The major academic disciplines that we cover include entrepreneurship, human resource management, international business, organizational behavior, and strategic management. However, manuscripts that belong to other well-established disciplines such as accounting, economics, finance, marketing, and operations generally do not fall into the scope of APJM. We endeavor to be the major vehicle for exchange of ideas and research among management scholars within or interested in the broadly defined Asia Pacific region.Key features include: Rigor - maintained through strict review processes, high quality global reviewers, and Editorial Advisory and Review Boards comprising prominent researchers from many countries. Relevance - maintained by its focus on key management and organizational trends in the region. Uniqueness - being the first and most prominent management journal published in and about the fastest growing region in the world.
