“…Fassin and Van Rossem, 2009;Høgevold, 2011;Aguinis and Glavas, 2012). Despite insightful research focusing on the importance of, for example, collaboration between stakeholders (Walker and Laplume, 2014) and transparency (Hutchinson et al, 2012), the field still suffers from a lack of a theoretical foundation (e.g.…”

Paper Type: Conceptual Structured abstractPurpose: To elucidate the role of moral disengagement in supply chain management (SCM) research, and challenges if the theory is to be used outside of its limitations.Design/methodology/approach: Conceptual paper based on how Bandura has developed and used moral disengagement. Findings:Moral disengagement can be used in SCM research. The theory is not to be applied to the supply chain itself, but SCM can be seen as the environment that is part of a reciprocal exchange that shapes human behavior. Research limitations/implications:The paper suggests a new theory to better understand business ethics, corporate social responsibility, and sustainability in SCM. Further, the paper outlines how the theory should be used, and some challenges that still remain. Practical implications:Originality/value: SCM researchers are given support on how to transfer a theory from psychology to SCM, which could help to progress several areas of the research field. The paper also highlights an inconsistency in the use of the theory, and gives support to how it should be used in SCM research.

“…In recent years, responsibility issues concerning the environmental and social dimensions in supply chains have been gaining attention (Fassin and Van Rossem, 2009;Aguinis and Glavas, 2012) alongside the "classic" economic dimension (Winter and Knemeyer, 2013). The field is multidisciplinary and in many ways hard to delimit and understand.…”

“…Other important contributions to the literature (Aguilera et al, 2006;Lea, 2004) also underscore the existence of complementarities between CG and CSR. In an attempt to conceptualize the relationship between CG, CSR and business ethics, Fassin and Van Rossem (2009) explore the distinctiveness and clarity in the perceptions that opinion leaders have concerning CG, CSR and business ethics, and the relationships that exist between them.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the contrasting views of banks and banking authorities in Lebanon regarding the corporate governance (CG) and corporate social responsibility (CSR) nexus. Design/methodology/approach Using survey responses collected from the managers of five Lebanese banks and banking authorities, the authors conduct a qualitative comparative study of the opinions on CG, CSR and CG–CSR nexus. Findings The findings of this paper reveal that while a CG culture is well-instituted by the authorities and that some forms of CSR are already practiced by banks, disagreements exist between the Lebanese banks and banking authorities in defining the CG–CSR nexus. While CG is viewed as an all-encompassing concept by the banking authorities, most banks ascribe to the paradigm that CG is component of CSR. Research limitations/implications The sample of this paper consists of large banks that have clear CG and CSR agendas. The results, therefore, cannot be generalized for the wider population of Lebanese companies that are characterized by family ownership and non-separation of ownership and control. Practical implications This paper informs both managers and policymakers on the differing views of the CSR–CG nexus while also contributing to informing the policy dialogue. Theoretically, this paper sheds light on the CG–CSR nexus in a developing country context. Originality/value There is a paucity of research on the CG–CSR nexus in the context of developing countries and for the banking sector in specific. This paper aims to address the gap in the literature by providing an in-depth qualitative examination of the CG, CSR and the CG–CSR nexus in the context of the Lebanese banking sector.
