Family leadership and CSR decoupling: Founder-descendant differences of socioemotional wealth

Park, Sang-Bum 18 November 2020 (has links)
No / The differences between family firms and nonfamily firms have gained increasing scholarly attention in the field of management, and socioemotional wealth has been argued as the main source of family firm distinctiveness. However, previous researchers have paid little attention to the heterogeneity in socioemotional wealth across family firms. Moreover, little is studied about the generational differences between founder-led family firms and descendant-led family firms. In this study, we address this gap by focusing on how these differences in family leadership are reflected in the gap between firms’ rhetorical CSR policies (CSR talk) and their substantive CSR implementation (CSR walk), which we refer to as CSR decoupling. We argue that the founders of family firms are distinct from descendants regarding three aspects: affective attachment, cognitive identification, and social concern. Our findings reveal that the relationship between socioemotional wealth and CSR decoupling is contingent on family generations. Family ownership decreases CSR decoupling only in founder-led family firms, while it increases CSR decoupling in descendant-led family firms. We discuss our contributions to research at the interaction of family business and CSR.

Företags användande av CSR-decoupling : - En jämförelse mellan amerikanska och västeuropeiska  börsnoterade företag

Eriksson, Anny, Boija, Alexandra January 2021 (has links)
Det har blivit allt mer viktigt för företag att ta ansvar inom områdena miljö, ekonomi och samhälle. Företag använder sig av CSR-kommunikation för att visa vilka handlingar de vidtar för att uppfylla dessa förväntningar och erhålla legitimitet. Det förekommer dock att CSR-kommunikationen inte överensstämmer med verkligheten. Det skapas då ett gap mellan företagens symboliska och substantiva handlingar, vilket benämns som CSR-decoupling. Företag i USA kontra Västeuropa befinner sig på olika marknader när det kommer till företagskulturer. Denna studie syftar därför till att undersöka användandet av CSR-decoupling i USA och Västeuropa. Studien undersöker även verkställande direktörens makt och intressenternas krav för att se om dessa faktorer påverkar användandet av CSR-decoupling. Studien är en kvantitativ tvärsnittsstudie som bygger på data bestående av amerikanska börsnoterade företag och västeuropeiska börsnoterade företag. Hypoteserna besvaras utifrån tidigare forskning och resultatet från en regressionsanalys samt t-test. Resultatet från regressionsanalysen visar att användandet av CSR-decoupling är större i USA än i Västeuropa, medan t-testet visar det motsatta. Av studien kunde inget samband fastställas mellan verkställande direktörens makt och CSR-decoupling. Resultatet visade däremot ett positivt samband mellan intressenternas krav och CSR-decoupling, samt att västeuropeiska börsnoterade företag påverkas mer av intressenternas krav när det kommer till användandet av decouplingstrategier. / It has become increasingly important for companies to take responsibility in the areas of environment, economy and society. Companies use CSR-communication to show what actions they are taking to meet these expectations and gain legitimacy. However, it happens that CSR-communication does not correspond to reality. This creates a gap between the companies' symbolic and substantive actions, which is referred to as CSR-decoupling. Companies in the U.S versus Western Europe are in different markets when it comes to corporate cultures. This study therefore aims to research the use of CSR-decoupling in the United States and Western Europe. We also examine the CEO's power and stakeholder requirements to see if these factors affect the use of CSR-decoupling. The study is a quantitative cross-sectional study based on data consisting of U.S listed companies and Western European listed companies. The hypotheses are answered based on previous research and the results of a regression analysis and t-test. The results from the regression analysis show that the use of CSR-decoupling is greater in the U.S than in Western Europe, while the t-test show the opposite. From the study, no statistical relationship could be established between the CEO's power and CSR-decoupling. The result, on the other hand, showed a positive statistical relationship between stakeholder requirements and CSR-decoupling, and that Western European listed companies are more affected by stakeholder requirements when it comes to the use of decoupling strategies.
