  1. Is Femvertising the New Greenwashing? Examining Corporate Commitment to Gender Equality.Yvette Sterbenk, Sara Champlin, Kasey Windels & Summer Shelton - 2022 - Journal of Business Ethics 177 (3):491-505.
    This study examined the potential for a new area of corporate social responsibility washing: gender equality. Companies are increasingly recognized for advertisements promoting gender equality, termed “femvertisements.” However, it is unclear whether companies that win femvertising awards actually support women with an institutionalized approach to gender equality. A quantitative content analysis was performed assessing company leadership team listings, annual reports, CSR reports, and CSR websites of 61 US-based companies to compare the prevalence of internal and external gender-equality CSR activities of (...)

  • She’-E-O Compensation Gap: A Role Congruity View.Joyce C. Wang, Lívia Markóczy, Sunny Li Sun & Mike W. Peng - 2019 - Journal of Business Ethics 159 (3):745-760.
    Is there a compensation gap between female CEOs and male CEOs? If so, are there mechanisms to mitigate the compensation gap? Extending role congruity theory, we argue that the perception mismatch between the female gender role and the leadership role may lead to lower compensation to female CEOs, resulting in a gender compensation gap. Nevertheless, the compensation gap may be narrowed if female CEOs display agentic traits through risk-taking, or alternatively, work in female-dominated industries where communal traits are valued. Additionally, (...)

  • Impact of Directors’ Network on Corporate Social Responsibility Disclosure: Evidence from China.Wenqin Li, John Ziyang Zhang & Rong Ding - 2023 - Journal of Business Ethics 183 (2):551-583.
    Using listed firms in China over the period 2010–2018, we investigate the association between directors’ network and quality of corporate social responsibility (CSR) disclosure from the lens of resource-based view. We find a significantly positive effect of directors’ network centrality on the CSR disclosure quality, and the effect is more pronounced when the firm (1) invests less in advertising; (2) is followed by less analysts; (3) is less financially constrained; and (4) has no assurance of sustainability report. Furthermore, we document (...)

  • What do we know about corporate philanthropy? A review and research directions.Wonsuk Cha & Ujvala Rajadhyaksha - 2021 - Business Ethics, the Environment and Responsibility 30 (3):262-286.
    During the past decades, academics and practitioners have been extensively focusing on corporate philanthropy as an important part of corporate social responsibility and a vast number of papers have been published on this topic in various disciplines. To have a better understanding of the evolution of corporate philanthropy, this paper critically reviews some 60 years of research covering 228 corporate philanthropy documents (including 214 journal articles, 5 dissertations, and 9 books and book chapters) across and between disciplines, and analyzes their (...)

  • Can Green Needs Always Promote Green Innovation? Moral Licensing in Corporate Environmental Responsibility.Heng Zhang & Binglin Gong - forthcoming - Journal of Business Ethics:1-23.
    Recent research indicates that environmentally responsible stakeholders’ green needs and practices effectively enhance substantive or symbolic corporate environmental responsibility. However, few studies have noted the potential for these green needs and practices to backfire. We integrate moral licensing theory and upper echelons theory to develop a theoretical framework. This framework can predict the differential effects of stakeholders’ green needs on corporate green innovation, contingent on the moral credits that these needs confer upon executives. The evidence comes from the practice of (...)

  • Women Directors and Corporate Social Performance: An Integrative Review of the Literature and a Future Research Agenda. [REVIEW]Giovanna Campopiano, Patricia Gabaldón & Daniela Gimenez-Jimenez - 2022 - Journal of Business Ethics 182 (3):717-746.
    This paper presents a literature review offering a thorough and critical systematization of articles investigating the influence of women directors on corporate social performance (CSP). We review the state-of-the-art literature in terms of its key assumptions, theories, and conceptualization of CSP. Our analysis shows a misfit between the theorization and operationalization of gender diversity, especially in quantitative empirical studies, which represent the majority of articles. In our overview of both conceptual and empirical studies, we identified three main theoretical dimensions, which (...)
