Abstract

Over the past decade, researchers have investigated the relationship between individuals' power distance belief (PDB), their psychological power, and their support of individual charity (e.g., Han et al., 2017; Winterich & Zhang, 2014; Yan et al., 2021). We extend this line of inquiry into individuals' support of corporate philanthropy. We develop and test hypotheses predicting that, in high PDB contexts, individuals will support corporate philanthropy more, because they endorse corporations aiding individuals, whom they perceive as having less power than corporations. High PDB individuals will also exhibit distinct corporate philanthropy preferences based on their psychological power. Specifically, individuals high in both PDB and psychological power prefer social, rather than environmental, corporate philanthropy. We find support for our hypotheses through three complementary experiments that activate PDB and feelings of psychological power, shedding new light on the conditions under which these factors influence support for different types of corporate philanthropy.

权力距离信念和权力影响个人对企业慈善事业的支持
在过去的十年中,研究者们研究了个体的权力距离信念(PDB)、心理力量和个人慈善支持之间的关系(例如,Han et al., 2017; Winterich & Zhang, 2014; Yan et al., 2021)。我们将调查范围扩展到个人对企业慈善事业的支持。我们开发并测试了假设,预测在高PDB环境下,个人将更支持公司慈善事业,因为他们支持公司帮助他们认为比公司权力小的个人。基于心理力量,高PDB个体也会表现出不同的企业慈善偏好。具体来说,PDB和心理权力都高的个体更喜欢社会慈善事业,而不是环境慈善事业。通过激活PDB和心理力量感受的三个互补实验,我们发现我们的假设得到了支持,并揭示了这些因素影响不同类型企业慈善支持的条件。
