Abstract

PurposeThis study examines how board gender diversity (BGD) interacts with the “tough vs tender” trait in country cultures in influencing firms' corporate social responsibility (CSR).Design/methodology/approachAn extensive set of environmental, social and governance (ESG) data of 5,748 firms from 70 countries were collected from Bloomberg terminal, and national-level data on “tough vs tender” societies were collected from the official website of Hofstede. The data were analysed using hierarchical multiple regression (HMR) and bootstrapping estimation techniques.FindingsThe findings show that BGD increases the extent of firms' CSR, with a more pronounced relationship in the tender than in the tough societies. Results are consistent in traditional (p-value based HMR) and robust (confidence intervals reliant bootstrapping) estimation techniques.Originality/valueThis study provides empirical evidence on tough vs tender societies' moderating role in the relationship between BGD and CSR from a rounded international setting. It also raises interesting insights about the dynamics in boards' responses to institutional forces as an avenue for future research.
董事会在国际环境中的性别多样性和企业社会责任
目的本研究考察了董事会性别多样性(BGD)在影响企业社会责任(CSR)方面如何与国家文化中的“强硬与温柔”特征相互作用。设计/方法/方法从彭博终端收集了来自70个国家的5748家企业的广泛环境、社会和治理(ESG)数据,从霍夫斯泰德的官方网站上收集了关于“强硬与温和”社会的国家级数据。使用层次多元回归(HMR)和自举估计技术对数据进行分析。研究结果表明,BGD增加了企业的社会责任程度,在投标中的关系比在艰难的社会中更为明显。传统(基于p值的HMR)和稳健(依赖于置信区间的自举)估计技术的结果是一致的。原创性/价值本研究从全面的国际环境中提供了关于强硬社会与温和社会在BGD和CSR之间关系中的调节作用的经验证据。它还提出了关于董事会对制度力量反应的动态的有趣见解,作为未来研究的途径。
