Corporate Social Responsibility in the work place
通过礼物交换博弈实验，研究了企业社会责任投资对工人努力程度的影响，发现企业将利润捐给慈善会提高工人努力，且当工人与企业的慈善偏好匹配时效果更明显。
Abstract We analyze the effect of investments in corporate social responsibility (CSR) on workers’ motivation. In our experiment, a gift exchange game variant, CSR is captured by donating a certain share of a firm’s profit to charity. We are testing for CSR effects by varying the possible share of profits given to charity. Additionally, we investigate the effect of matching mission preferences, i.e., a worker preferring the same charity the firm donates to. Our results show that, on average, workers reciprocate investments in CSR with increased effort. Matching mission preferences also result in higher effort, independently of the extent of the CSR investment.
