企业社会责任(CSR)一直受到实务界和学术界的广泛关注,但其决定因素仍不明确,尤其是在转型经济中。本文利用中国上市公司的企业层面数据,通过地理邻近度方法构建宗教信仰变量,考察了宗教信仰与企业社会责任的关系,并进一步探讨了低污染行业和高污染行业的差异。实证结果表明,宗教氛围(佛教和道教作为一个整体)在一个地区可以诱导管理者更少的自私,更关心其他利益相关者,这是潜在的有利于企业的社会责任。这种影响在高污染行业中更强,在低污染行业中不太明显。此外,我的研究结果表明,上述结论只适用于佛教,这表明不同的宗教对企业社会责任的影响是不对称的。本研究丰富和拓展了企业社会责任与宗教的相关研究,对宗教在企业实践中的价值具有重要的启示意义。
Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has been attracting ever considerable attention from practice and academia, but the determinants of CSR remain unclear, especially in transitional economies. Using firm‐level data of listed firms in China and constructing the variable of religion through the geographic proximity method, this study investigates the relationship between religion and CSR and further explores the differences between low‐ and high‐polluting industries. Our empirical results demonstrate that religious atmosphere (Buddhism and Taoism as a whole) in a region can induce managers to be less selfish and to care more about other stakeholders, which is potentially beneficial to a firm's CSR. This effect is stronger in high‐polluting industries and less pronounced in low‐polluting industries. Also, my findings demonstrate that the above conclusions apply only for Buddhism, indicating that different religions have an asymmetric effect on CSR. This work enriches and expands the research on CSR and religion, which has important implications on the value of religion in business practice.
