Abstract

This paper explores how the political identity of top managers influences corporate donations, based on upper echelons theory (UET). The results show that the political identity of the top manager has a significant impact on the donation behavior of a company, especially in areas with poor institutional environments. Corporate donations depend not only on whether the top manager has a political identity but also the type of this identity. Furthermore, the impact differs significantly between companies with different ownership structures. This study enriches our knowledge of corporate philanthropy by demonstrating that corporate donation practices are shaped by a range of contextual factors. Corporate giving behaviors in emerging economies such as China are differently motivated according to the fundamentally different aspects of their institutional settings.

中国企业捐赠:战略-政治视角

本文基于上层梯队理论(upper echelons theory, UET)，探讨高层管理者政治认同对企业捐赠的影响。研究结果表明，高层管理者的政治认同对公司捐赠行为有显著影响，在制度环境较差的地区尤其如此。企业捐赠不仅取决于最高管理者是否具有政治身份，还取决于这种身份的类型。此外，不同股权结构的公司之间的影响也有显著差异。本研究通过证明企业捐赠行为受到一系列背景因素的影响，丰富了我们对企业慈善事业的认识。在中国等新兴经济体，企业捐赠行为的动机因其制度设置的根本不同而不同。
