“…These doctrines have evolved with the development of society and have been preserved to a significant extent. Moreover, they resonate with long-standing basic social norms that endorse the positive influence of altruism (Kanagaretnam, Xiu, & Zhou, 2019; Li & Liang, 2015; Xiu, Lin, & Yin, 2022; Yu, Zhu, Huang, & Teklay, 2021), thereby contributing to their endurance over time.…”

This study extends the extant literature on executive pay dispersion by exploring the cultural-cognitive social determinants. We investigate how religious institutional environments, including Buddhism- and Confucianism-based institutions, shape vertical executive pay dispersion. We theorize that a Buddhism-based institutional environment is negatively related to vertical executive pay dispersion. In contrast, we propose competing hypotheses regarding how a Confucianism-based institutional environment affects vertical executive pay dispersion. With a sample of Chinese public firms, we find that both Buddhism- and Confucianism-based institutional environments are negatively associated with a firm's vertical executive pay dispersion. Supplementary analyses show that the aforementioned main effects are attenuated when a firm is embedded by a communist party branch and has a younger CEO.

This research was conducted to determine the level of political participation of the Kenduri Cinta community as an urban Sufism community in DKI Jakarta. The method used in this research is a quantitative method by distributing questionnaires to the Kenduri Cinta community who were selected by purposive sampling. The independent variables used in this research are political concern; political motivation; political situation and environment; political education; and political orientation. This study explains how these independent variables affect the political participation of the Kenduri Cinta community. The 503 questionnaires obtained were processed by the SPSS application version 25. The Principal Component Analysis method was used in multiple linear regression to analyse how independent variables affect their political participation. The F test result shows that all independent variables simultaneously affect the level of political participation of the Kenduri Cinta community. Meanwhile, the t test result shows that four independent variables are significant and three of them have positive regression coefficients. Interestingly, political motivation has a negative regression coefficient even though it is significant. This means the higher their political motivation, the lower their political participation.

“…Confucian culture advocates the concepts of “benevolence,” “propriety” and “the world is public” (Zhu et al, 2022), which create an external firm environment based on the principle of altruism (Yeh, 2010). According to social responsibility theory, firms influenced by Confucian culture will consider taking on this ethical social responsibility to serve more stakeholders (Xiu et al, 2022).…”

“…Some studies have demonstrated that firms' employee hiring (Chen et al, 2014; Chen, Lim, et al, 2020), taking social responsibility (Xiu et al, 2022), tax avoidance behavior (Chen et al, 2021), and cash holdings (Chen, Ye, et al, 2020) are significantly influenced by Confucian culture. Guided by the ideas of “three principles and five rules” and “unity of righteousness and profit,” Confucian culture can significantly reduce agency problems in modern firms (Chen et al, 2019) by restraining the self‐interested behavior of insiders (Du, 2015), and influence surplus management behavior (Schmitz et al, 2019), enhance technological innovation (Yan et al, 2021), and thus promote firm growth.…”

With the intensification of global environmental issues, corporate environmental information disclosure has received increasing attention. Different cultural and policy backgrounds have led to very different styles of corporate environmental information disclosure behavior. Whether Confucianism, the dominant culture that has influenced China for thousands of years, contributes to corporate environmental information disclosure deserves to be studied. Based on data from 3180 Chinese listed firms, this study confirms the positive effect of Confucian culture on environmental information disclosure. Meanwhile, Taoist culture and environmental regulation can positively moderate this effect. In addition, heterogeneity analysis unveils that Confucian culture plays a greater role in corporate environmental information disclosure for state‐owned firms and firms in highly polluting industries, while this role is weakened for firms with a high proportion of female executives and executives with foreign experience. This study links culture and environmental information disclosure, which helps to arouse the attention of whole society to utilize excellent traditional culture and helps the government to formulate effective environmental regulation policies.
