The Relationship

The relationship between companies and society has been questioned for a long time. However, the effect of the motives behind CSR regarding the companies’ actual engagement with CSR has received little attention, especially in emerging markets. This paper tackles this issue for the first time using a sample of Jordanian companies. We explore the effect of two types of motives on the level of engagement in CSR: extrinsic motive (financial) and intrinsic motives (ethical and altruistic). The relationship between the company’s actual financial performance and CSR is also investigated. Primary data were collected using a questionnaire, distributed to Jordanian company’s managers in five sectors: pharmaceutical, technology and telecommunication, construction, farming, and financial services. Multiple regression analysis was conducted to depict the relationships. Results show that the intrinsic motives have a significant effect on CSR, while the extrinsic motive has none. When intrinsic motives were tested separately, results showed that the ethical motive had a significant effect, while the altruistic had no effect. In both cases, CSR was shown to be more significantly driven by the company’s financial performance. Different stakeholders such as policymakers, entrepreneurs, researchers, and investors may use the results of this study to increase companies’ involvement in CSR.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to describe the nature and trend of corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices in Nigeria. The second objective of this paper is to examine the relationship between the dimensions of CSR disclosures and corporate financial performance (CFP) among Nigerian listed companies. Design/methodology/approach – To carry out this research, content analysis was conducted to extract CSR and financial data from annual reports of 68 companies listed on the Nigeria Stock Exchange. Financial data were cross-referenced with the NSE Factbook. CSR indexes and financial performance measures were computed for estimation of the regression analysis equation. The percentages were used to describe the nature and trend of CSR practice in Nigeria. This was followed by the hierarchical multiple regression analysis to examine the relationship between CSR and CFP. Findings – The results of the descriptive statistics show that the listed companies used CSR initiatives to communicate social performance to their stakeholders. From the regression analysis, community involvement disclosure, products and customer disclosures and human resource disclosures were found to enhance CFP. The results also reveal a negative relationship between environmental disclosure and CFP, which indicates that disclosure of environmental impact information could be value destroying in Nigeria. Research limitations/implications – The major limitation of this paper is the sample size. Also, failure of corporations to disclose CSR in the annual reports will have a material effect on these findings. Practical implications – The findings of this paper have practical implications on the management of Nigerian companies to re-think and re-strategize their CSR policies that incorporate social and economic performance to improve their CFP. Social implications – This paper has implication on stakeholders in validating the corporate citizenship of corporations based on the level of commitment and participation in CSR initiatives. Also, findings of this paper will alert the enforcement agencies on the status of CSR practices in Nigeria. Government in collaboration with private and public agencies should consider the needs for CSR framework and database to guide social and environmental reporting in the country. Originality/value – The paper has examined the relationship between CSR and CFP based on CSR dimensional approach. Aspect of human resource and products/customers CSR has been neglected in the context of Nigerian CSR research. This paper makes valuable contribution by offering new and fresh insight on these dimensions.

The Relationship

Although there has been considerable research into the relationship between corporate social responsibility and financial performance, yet no real consensus exists as various studies revealed conflicting results reporting positive, negative or inconclusive relationship between the two. Based on the dataset of 20 leading companies operating in India and covering a three-year period from 2000-01 to 2002-2003, this paper is an attempt to explore the association between corporate social responsibility and financial performance. The relationship is examined by using correlation and regression analysis which revealed no significant association between the variables under study.

Purpose of the study: This research aims to examine the relationship between the Sharia Supervisory Board (SSB) and the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) disclosure with financial performance as a mediating variable in Indonesia. By understanding the importance of the SSB responsibilities in the continuity of Sharia Banks, therefore, it is necessary to re-examine them. Methodology: This research was conducted on sharia banks registered in Sharia Banking Statistics of the Financial Services Authority (Otoritas Jasa Keuangan (OJK) in Bahasa) during the period of 2010-2016. There were 6 Sharia Banks involved as the sample of this study selected through a purposive sampling technique. Main Findings: The results showed that the Sharia Supervisory Board had a positive relationship with the CSR disclosure. But, this study implies that the CSR disclosure is not able to mediate the relationship between the SSB with the CSR disclosure of sharia banks in Indonesia. Applications of this study: In Indonesia, the purpose of existence of the SSB in Sharia Banks is to tend to comply with regulation, and this condition may affect the results. So, some measurement about the SSB in Indonesia is needed in future studies. Also, for future studies, it is suggested that they may add quality assets as a proxy for financial performance and other variables in order to obtain better results. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study tries to prove empirically the relationship between the SSB on the CSR disclosure of Sharia Banks in Indonesia with financial performance as its mediating variable. This study is indispensable to do in Indonesia, as the country with the biggest Muslim population in the world.

This research aims to analyze the role played by firm visibility in moderating the relationship between Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Firm Financial Performance (FFP). Based on the legitimacy theory, a firm’s responses to stakeholder’s expectations would be affected by its public visibility; we hypothesize a positive link between CSR and firm visibility. Moreover, visibility is expected to moderate the CSR-FFP relationship. We applied a Moderated Regression Analysis using the aggregate ESG scores as a CSR proxy on a panel data of listed French Companies (SBF120) over the period 2008–2017. Our findings are in line with legitimacy theory, suggesting that social initiatives would be mean to strengthen the legitimacy and to secure “license to operate”. Furthermore, firm visibility would be a contingency variable that moderates positively CSR-FFP relationship.
