Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to argue the relationship between managerial entrenchment (ME), corporate social responsibility (CSR) and dividend policy (DP). Specifically, this paper aims to empirically examine the impact of DP on the relationship between ME, and CSR.
Design/methodology/approach
This study uses a panel data set of firms listed at France stock exchange over 2010/2021. Both the direct and moderating effects were tested by using multiple regression techniques.
Findings
The results show that the positive relation between CSR and ME is more pronounced in companies where they opt for a DP. However, DP moderates this positive relationship.
Originality/value
This study suggests the dynamic relationship between CSR and ME.
