The CSR–CFP relationship in the presence of institutional voids and the moderating role of family ownership

Abstract: In weak institutional contexts characterized by institutional voids, firms often struggle to demonstrate their ethical conduct. They are seen as raising the costs of influencing stakeholders and correspondingly the level of investment needed in stakeholder influence capacity in order to achieve corporate financial performance (CFP). We hypothesize and find support for a U-shaped curvilinear relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR) engagement level and CFP in the context of India—a country cha… Show more

“…The previous literature on CSRD suggests various techniques to measure CSR, that is, content analysis (Li et al, 2017; Maqbool & Zameer, 2018; Rodriguez‐Fernandez, 2016; Zhu et al, 2016), reputed ratings and scores (Cordeiro et al, 2021; Nirino et al, 2020; Simionescu & Dumitrescu, 2018), proxies (Sharma & Aggarwal, 2021), survey (Magrizos et al, 2021; Mishra & Suar, 2010; Suganthi, 2019), and index (Farag et al, 2015; Nyeadi et al, 2018; Zahid et al, 2020).…”

“…On the other hand, CSR activities may be used by emerging market firms to compensate the deficient government policies on social issues and gain a socially responsible firm image (Doh et al , 2015). The institutional context of an emerging market characterized by lower income, inadequate public policy, high information asymmetry and high level of corruption may prevent stakeholders from sound judgement of and thereby rewarding for CSR activities of companies (Cordeiro et al , 2021).…”

“…However, a possible disruption in this cycle due to a weak institutional context in emerging countries will hinder the assessment and thereby rewarding of CSR activities of companies by stakeholders. On the company side, this disruption will lead to symbolic instead of substantive approach to CSR activities (Cordeiro et al , 2021).…”

“…In accordance with this point of view, we believe that EMNCs’ internal CSR is a vulnerable field during internationalization; hence, we specifically focus on this topic. First, internal CSR mainly relies on a firm’s self-supervision and thus receives less external scrutiny and attention due to information asymmetry (Toussaint et al, 2021 ), while EMNCs that originate in emerging markets with institutional voids (Cordeiro et al, 2021 ) often lack a sound internal governance foundation. Therefore, opportunistic practice is more likely to emerge in the field of internal CSR.…”
