在过去的几年里,学术界对企业社会责任(CSR)的兴趣一直在增加。然而,关于企业社会责任与企业绩效之间关系的研究揭示了一个复杂的关系。在本文中,我们认为,企业社会责任和企业绩效之间的一般积极的关系的基础的一部分可能来自于代理成本的降低。依赖于行为代理理论,我们构建了一个模型,在该模型中,企业社会责任缓和的影响,代理问题上的具体公司的成果,包括公司业绩,股票期权的使用,和商誉。基于1999年至2013年美国上市公司的面板数据,我们发现支持这一模型。这些研究结果表明,企业社会责任在改善公司治理效率,通过减轻公司内部的代理问题的作用。
Over the past few years, scholarly interest in corporate social responsibility (CSR) has been increasing. However, research on the relationship between CSR and firm performance has revealed a complicated relationship. In this paper, we argue that part of the basis for the generally positive relationship between CSR and firm performance might come from a reduction in agency costs. Relying on behavioral agency theory, we construct a model in which CSR moderates the impact of the agency problem on specific firm outcomes, including firm performance, the use of stock options, and goodwill. Based on panel data of publicly traded U.S. firms from 1999 to 2013, we find support for that model. These findings suggest the role of CSR in improving corporate governance efficiency through mitigating agency problems inside the firm.
