“…Many external and internal factors influence CEB [ 5 , 70 , 81 , 82 ]. To control for factors that are likely to confound the relationship between environmental regulation and CEB, a vector of firm- and province-level control variables is included [ 5 , [83] , [84] , [85] , [86] ]. At the firm level, we control for firm size ( Size ) as the logarithm of total assets, financial leverage ( Lev ) as total debt divided by total assets, firm age ( Age ) as the logarithm of firm age plus 1, firm profitability ( ROA ), liquidity ( Invrec ) as the proportion of inventory and accounts receivable to total assets, firm growth ( Growth ) as the growth rate of revenue, the shareholding ratio of the largest shareholder ( Top ), the proportion of executive shareholding ( Mgt ), the proportion of independent directors to total directors ( Pindepen ), and the nature of ownership ( Ownership ), which equals 1 if the firm is state-owned, and 0 otherwise.…”

“…At the province level, we control for the province's law enforcement environment ( Law ) [ 87 ] and the province's investment in treating industrial pollution ( Polinvest ) [ 88 ]. We also control for industry ( IND ) and time ( YEAR ) effects with standard errors clustered at the firm level [ 84 ].…”

“…We used ordinary least squares (OLS) regressions with two-way fixed effects to test empirically whether the IER and FER lead to differences in how corporations engage in CEB. OLS, which is widely used in econometrics, has the advantage of requiring the fewest conditions [ 84 , 89 ], so it is suitable for this study's regression analysis. Formula(1) , the benchmark model, is used to test Hypotheses 1 and 2.…”

“…Under such a background, CSR in China has the epitome of both developed and developing countries. On the one hand, China's government supervision is similar to that of developed countries, which tends to be perfected in CSR construction (Chen et al, 2023). On the other hand, social supervision in China is similar to that in developing countries.…”

Digital transformation has become a wave sweeping across the globe, affecting all industries with unprecedented speed and breadth, and it is urgent to introduce digital transformation into the corporate social responsibility (CSR) field. This study aims to investigate the impact of digital transformation on CSR performance and its influencing mechanism. The findings are as follows: (1) digital transformation can improve CSR performance; (2) from the dual perspective of internal drive and external governance, we figure out that digital transformation improves CSR performance by improving green management innovation and analyst coverage; (3) further analysis shows that the impact of digital transformation on CSR performance differs under different resource endowments and institutional environments (i.e., formal and informal institutions). Specifically, this promoting effect is only reflected incorporates more resources (i.e., human resources, cultural resources, employment resources, and economic resources), with strong environmental enforcement or high media attention. In the context of digital transformation, this study enriches the mechanism of improving CSR performance and is of great practical significance for corporates, markets, governments and other stakeholders. Meanwhile, the findings of this study are of practical guidance for promoting corporates to fulfill their social responsibility and achieve sustainable development goals in the digital era.

Corporate greenwashing and pro‐environmental behavior of employees have attracted a significant amount of research attention in journals related to corporate governance, green and sustainable development. However, limited research has currently investigated the relationship between the two, especially in today's globalized business environment. To fill this research gap, this study conducts a cross‐cultural validation of connection between the two, covering four countries: China, United Kingdom, Republic of Korea, and Japan. The study uses structural equation model and fsQCA methods for empirical analysis. The empirical results reveal that in China, United Kingdom, Republic of Korea, and Japan: (1) corporate greenwashing suppresses employees' pro‐environmental behavior; (2) corporate greenwashing leads to employees developing perceptions of corporate hypocrisy, negative pro‐environmental attitudes, and organizational cynicism; (3) corporate hypocrisy perception, negative pro‐environmental attitude, and organizational cynicism lead to employees displaying negative pro‐environmental behaviors; (4) corporate hypocrisy perception, negative pro‐environmental attitude, and organizational cynicism significantly mediate the influence of corporate greenwashing on employees' pro‐environmental behavior; (5) the mediating effects of these three variables do not significantly differ across the four countries; (6) the analysis results from the fsQCA method show that in China, there are 6 configurations leading to employees displaying significant (strong) negative pro‐environmental behaviors, while in the United Kingdom there are 5, and in the Republic of Korea and Japan there are 3 and 5, respectively. This cross‐cultural study offers insights for corporate management, aiding in understanding and mitigating the effects of greenwashing on employee pro‐environmental behavior. It also bolsters the creation of efficacious corporate environmental practices policies and serves as a resource for future cross‐cultural environmental preservation and corporate governance research.
