Abstract

Based on the institutional perspective, this article examines whether institutional pressures in home and host countries affect multinational enterprise (MNE) subsidiaries’ corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices and whether the institutional distance between home and host countries moderates these relationships. We collect data from 185 Chinese MNEs’ 349 foreign subsidiaries operating in 27 host countries and conduct a cross-classified multilevel model analysis of the data. The findings indicate that institutional pressures in home and host countries significantly affect the CSR practices of the MNE subsidiaries operating in host countries. Also, we find that the formal and informal institutional distances between the home and host countries exert different interaction effects on these CSR practices. The findings from this study offer useful implications for MNEs’ social strategies for sustainability. JEL CLASSIFICATION: G38, L16, M16, Q17
制度对跨国公司子公司在东道国的企业社会责任有何影响?来自中国海外子公司的证据
基于制度视角,本文考察了母国和东道国的制度压力是否会影响跨国企业子公司的企业社会责任实践,以及母国和东道国之间的制度距离是否会调节这些关系。我们收集了185家中国跨国公司在27个东道国的349家海外子公司的数据,并对数据进行了交叉分类多层次模型分析。研究结果表明,母国和东道国的制度压力显著影响在东道国经营的跨国公司子公司的企业社会责任实践。此外,我们发现母国和东道国之间的正式和非正式制度距离对这些企业社会责任实践产生了不同的互动效应。本研究的结果为跨国公司的可持续发展社会战略提供了有益的启示。凝胶分类:g38, 16, m16, q17
