Abstract

Purpose Little attention has been given to the effects of returnee entrepreneurs on external and internal corporate social responsibility (CSR). This study aims to investigate whether returnee entrepreneurs engage in more external or internal CSR and to further explore the contingency effects of foreign market embeddedness and local government endorsement. Design/methodology/approach This study uses 11,967 startups in China to examine the relationship between returnee entrepreneurs and external and internal CSR. The authors use an ordinary least square regression and propensity scoring matching approach to analyze the data. Findings The empirical results show that returnee entrepreneurs are more likely to undertake external CSR but less likely to undertake internal CSR. Foreign market embeddedness and local government endorsement have opposite moderating effects on these relationships. Practical implications This study has important implications for returnee entrepreneurs’ strategic choice between external and internal CSR and also provides theoretical support for policymakers to make effective and enforceable CSR policies. Originality/value This study discusses how returnee entrepreneurs implement external or internal CSR in China, answering the call to distinguish between external and internal CSR. Drawing on a legitimacy perspective, the authors find interesting and seemingly counterintuitive effects of returnees on external and internal CSR, which also necessitates distinguishing between these two types of CSR. In addition, the authors find different moderating roles of foreign market embeddedness and local government endorsement.
海归企业家对中国企业社会责任的影响:市场嵌入和政府认可的调节作用
目的海归企业家对外部和内部企业社会责任(CSR)的影响很少受到关注。本研究旨在考察海归企业家是更多地从事外部企业社会责任还是更多地从事内部企业社会责任,并进一步探讨国外市场嵌入性和地方政府认可的权变效应。本研究以中国11,967家创业公司为研究对象,考察海归企业家与企业外部和内部社会责任之间的关系。作者使用普通的最小二乘回归和倾向评分匹配方法来分析数据。实证结果表明,海归企业家更倾向于承担外部企业社会责任,而不太可能承担内部企业社会责任。国外市场嵌入性和地方政府支持对上述关系具有相反的调节作用。本研究对海归企业家在企业社会责任外部与内部的战略选择具有重要意义,也为政策制定者制定有效和可执行的企业社会责任政策提供理论支持。本研究探讨了海归企业家如何在中国实施外部或内部的企业社会责任,回应了区分外部和内部企业社会责任的呼吁。从合法性的角度来看,作者发现海归对外部和内部企业社会责任的有趣且看似违反直觉的影响,这也需要区分这两种类型的企业社会责任。此外,研究发现国外市场嵌入度和地方政府支持度的调节作用不同。
