The Filtering Role of the Firm in Corporate Political Involvement
构建了一个理论框架,分析企业政治参与如何不仅受环境因素影响,还受企业自身特征(如结构、资源、政治经验和利益相关者依赖)的调节。
This article develops a theoretical framework for the analysis of corporate political involvement, as mediated not only by environmental factors but also by characteristics of the firm itself. Consistent with previous research, the authors examine how policy salience and the political, macroeconomic, and industry environments influence the level of a firm's involvement in politics. In addition, the authors' model takes into account such influences as corporate structure, resources, political experience, and stakeholder dependence.
