Abstract

This paper examines the moderating effect of experience and size of fund towards socially responsible investment (SRI).A survey was conducted to get the responses of fund managers, and data were analysed using a multi-group approach of Structural Equation Modelling (SEM).At intentional level, there was a significant moderating effect on the relationship between attitudes and caring ethical climate towards an intention to SRI among less experienced fund managers. There was a significant moderating effect on the relationship between subjective norms and perceived behavioural control towards an intention to SRI among more experienced fund managers. There was also a significant moderating effect on the relationship between subjective norms and caring ethical climate towards an intention to SRI among small-sized fund managers. At behavioural level, there was a significant moderating effect on the relationship between moral intensity and SRI behaviour among less experienced fund managers. There was also a significant moderating effect on the relationship between moral intensity and caring ethical climate on SRI behaviour among bigger-sized fund managers. This paper conduits the literature gap by expanding the understanding on the moderating impact of experience and size of fund towards SRI, provides insights to policy makers in carrying out appropriate talent development strategies in accumulating the support of fund managers towards SRI-related initiatives in the capital market, and reveals the potential contribution of fund manager talent management in sustainable development through SRI. The paper offers vision on fund manager talent management to forefront the progress of SRI in emerging economies.

社会责任投资行为对经验和基金规模的敏感性

本文考察了基金经验和规模对社会责任投资（SRI）的调节作用。通过调查获得了基金经理的反应，并使用结构方程建模（SEM）的多组方法对数据进行了分析。在意向层面，经验不足的基金经理对SRI意向的态度和关怀道德氛围之间的关系存在显著的调节作用。在更有经验的基金经理中，主观规范和对SRI意图的感知行为控制之间的关系具有显著的调节作用。在小型基金经理中，对SRI意向的主观规范和关怀道德氛围之间的关系也有显著的调节作用。在行为层面，经验不足的基金经理对道德强度和SRI行为之间的关系有显著的调节作用。在大型基金经理中，道德强度和关爱道德氛围之间的关系对SRI行为也有显著的调节作用。本文通过扩大对基金经验和规模对SRI的调节影响的理解，填补了文献空白，为政策制定者实施适当的人才发展战略提供了见解，以积累基金经理对资本市场SRI相关举措的支持，并通过SRI揭示了基金经理人才管理对可持续发展的潜在贡献。本文提出了基金经理人才管理的愿景，以引领新兴经济体SRI的发展。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Applied Business Research (JABR) welcomes articles in all areas of applied business and economics research. Both theoretical and applied manuscripts will be considered for publication; however, theoretical manuscripts must provide a clear link to important and interesting business and economics applications. Using a wide range of research methods including statistical analysis, analytical work, case studies, field research, and historical analysis, articles examine significant applied business and economics research questions from a broad range of perspectives. The intention of JABR is to publish papers that significantly contribute to these fields.
