Interfirm collaboration and corporate social responsibility expenditure in turbulent environments: The moderating role of entrepreneurial orientation

Abstract: This paper draws on the resource dependency theory to examine the impact of interfirm collaboration on corporate social responsibility (CSR) expenditure. In addition, we examine entrepreneurial orientation as a moderator of the relationship between interfirm collaboration and CSR expenditure. We test our research model using survey data from 230 small-and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Ghana. Results from our empirical analyses reveal that interfirm collaboration positively impacts CSR expenditure and this… Show more

“…The keyword analysis presents a research trend followed in the Journal. Latest publications in CSREM show an increased interest in CSR research, especially in context to the developing countries (Adomako & Nguyen, 2020a, 2020b; Afridi et al, 2020; Afsar, Al‐Ghazali, & Umrani, 2020; Anser et al, 2020; Bacinello et al, 2020; Deng et al, 2020; Gilal et al, 2020; Hayat et al, 2020; Javed et al, 2019; Lin, Ho, et al, 2020; Lin, Law, et al, 2020; Liu, 2020; Ouyang et al, 2020; Rela et al, 2020; Saha et al, 2020; Zaid et al, 2020). Due to slower economic growth, the corporate sector in developing countries lacks the required resources to implement desired ethical standards and to fulfill their CSR obligations.…”

“…Another factor that can also be noted is that company profits do not have a significant relationship with CSR Spending, and this shows that profit is not a driving force for CSR spending in our sample companies, this indicates that if they do not have a solid motivation to spend on CSR activities, they still won't do it regardless of the availability of money. However, the strategy taken by the company seems to be in line with the Resource Dependency Theory, where the company needs to develop certain strategies to increase its success (Adomako & Nguyen, 2020;Frynas & Yamahaki, 2016).…”

“…Resource Dependency Theory (RDT) considers that companies have a dependency on their critical resources. The degree of this dependence determines the company's actions and decisions (Adomako & Nguyen, 2020;Frynas & Yamahaki, 2016). This theory considers that the social context is an important factor that determines the success of a company.…”

“…We highlight the research of Isaak & Logic (1999) and Wagner (2010) who have linked green and social entrepreneurship to sustainable entrepreneurship, as three categories that share the common objective of positive environmental impact. Adomako & Nguyen(2020), also in a context of SMEs, observe EO as a key capability, able to create sustained competitive advantage for companies. Under the view of dynamic capabilities theory, greater levels of EO provide the company with available resources and the possibility to undertake CSR activities (Adomako & Nguyen, 2020).…”

Under the view of dynamic capabilities theory, greater levels of EO provide the company with available resources and the possibility to undertake CSR activities (Adomako & Nguyen, 2020). This way, EO facilitates the implementation of CSR activities, making its skills available to the company, so that it uses its internal resources and applies them in the CSR strategy.…”
