Second, in terms of theoretical correlates, we found both leader-member exchange (LMX) and perceived organizational support (POS) were positively correlated with CSR-IA, but not with CSR-EA. Third, in examining the outcomes of CSR attributions, we found CSR-IA positively related to organizational identification, organizational trust, and work meaningfulness, whereas CSR-EA showed no significant associations with these variables. Finally, we found that organizational identification mediated the positive relationship between CSR-IA and several important outcomes, including task performance, organizational citizenship behavior (OCB), job satisfaction, and organizational commitment.

In particular, it is unclear how CSR influence cascades across both direct and indirect ties in interlocking directorate networks and how political embeddedness moderates this process in emerging economy contexts such as China. Using data from 2941 firm-year observations of 722 publicly listed Chinese firms between 2008 and 2017, we employ a network approach grounded in social network theory and upper echelons theory to investigate how interlocking directorates facilitate CSR diffusion and how political embeddedness shapes this dynamic. Our results reveal that CSR practices are influenced not only by direct ties within interlocking directorates but also propagate through indirect connections, with influence extending up to three degrees of separation in the network. This study makes three distinct contributions: (1) to academic literature, we empirically extend CSR and upper echelons theory by integrating the “three degrees of influence” rule into the corporate context; (2) to managers, we identify interlocking directorates as cost-effective channels for learning and adopting CSR practices; and (3) to policymakers, we provide actionable insights for designing network-based interventions to accelerate diffusion. By highlighting the roles of government-related social capital and network structures, our research offers novel theoretical foundations and practical implications for both practitioners and regulators seeking to promote CSR adoption and diffusion across interlocking-directorate networks.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":29886,"journal":{"name":"Business Ethics the Environment & Responsibility","volume":"35 4","pages":"2722-2748"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2026-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148965593","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Even when accounting for variable-centered between-person elements (primacy, recency and halo effects) when predicting OCB enactment at the end of the study, we found significant effects for the developmental nature of one's OOJ.

While ESG and artificial intelligence (AI) are widely regarded as strategic priorities, limited empirical research has investigated their combined influence on firm-level efficiency in high-tech, capital-intensive sectors. This study addresses this gap by applying a three-stage Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to evaluate the performance of 33 publicly listed semiconductor firms in Taiwan across profitability, sustainability, and market value. The model reflects the sequential value-creation process: the Profit stage measures how R&D and labor are transformed into innovation output (intangible assets and income); the Sustainability stage assesses how governance and environmental inputs shape ESG scores; and the Market stage examines how ESG performance and capital investment affect market valuation. Stage-specific efficiency is measured using ESG and structural variables aligned with the semiconductor sector's vertically disintegrated and interdependent value chain. AI-driven innovation is proxied by patent activity. Results reveal performance disparities across stages: Market stage efficiency ranks highest (0.9664), followed by Profit stage, while Sustainability stage lags—highlighting an ESG implementation gap in otherwise competitive firms. Tobit regression analysis shows that AI-driven innovation enhances sustainability efficiency, whereas firm size and leverage are more closely linked to profitability. This study proposes a multi-stage framework integrating ESG and AI to evaluate sustainable innovation in high-tech sectors, offering insights into how firms can balance competitiveness with long-term sustainability.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":29886,"journal":{"name":"Business Ethics the Environment & Responsibility","volume":"35 4","pages":"2660-2686"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2026-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148965691","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The findings reveal that greenwashing significantly reduces return synchronicity by embedding unreliable firm-specific environmental signals into stock prices, thereby impairing market efficiency. The results demonstrate that greenwashing amplifies sentiment-driven trading among investors, attracts increased media coverage that further disseminates and legitimizes biased environmental narratives, and influences institutional investment decisions—particularly by sustainable funds, which tend to rely on superficial environmental disclosures. Additionally, the heterogeneous analysis indicates that the influence of greenwashing on stock price synchronicity is insignificant in heavily polluting industries due to heightened regulatory oversight and stakeholder scrutiny. This research adds to existing knowledge by linking greenwashing to stock price synchronicity, providing new insights into how selective environmental disclosures influence market behavior. By exposing the negative consequences of biased environmental disclosures, this study highlights the urgent need for stronger accountability standards, robust environmental reporting frameworks, and stricter regulatory oversight.

This study uses data from Chinese A-share listed companies from 2015 to 2023 as the sample, applies the fraud triangle theory to analyze the impact of ESGRD on corporate greenwashing behavior, and examines the moderating effects of media attention and environmental regulation based on institutional theory. The results reveal that ESGRD exacerbates corporate greenwashing behavior. The mechanism analysis indicates that ESGRD induces corporate greenwashing behavior through increasing financing constraints, enhancing information asymmetry, and exacerbating managerial myopia. The moderating effect analysis finds that both media attention (an informal institution) and environmental regulation (a formal institution) have negative moderating effects, which can weaken the positive impact of ESGRD on corporate greenwashing behavior. The heterogeneity analysis shows that the positive impact of ESGRD on greenwashing is more significant in non-heavily polluting industries and enterprises with low foreign investor shareholdings. An extended analysis reports that ESGRD exhibits significant spillover effects, exacerbating the greenwashing behavior of other firms in the same industry and province.
