“…Hypothesis (H3) the results of model 3 demonstrate a positive linkage of shareholding with executive turnover influence on the quality of CSR disclosure (t = 21.03, p < 0.000) consistent with H3 [99,100]. Hypothesis (H1) in the model ( 4), the interaction is observed between the quality of CSR disclosure and executive turnover whereby the coefficient of the interaction term resulted in being significantly negative (t = −22.03, p < 0.000), depicting that ensuring quality of CSR disclosure decrease the effect of executive turnover, which supports H1 [71,101]. Hypothesis (H2) in the model ( 5), the interaction is observed between the quality of CSR disclosure and political ties whereby the coefficient of the interaction term resulted to be significantly negative (t = −6.36, p < 0.000) which shows that ensuring the quality of CSR disclosure decreases the impact of political ties [71,102,103].…”
