Corporate Responsibility and Employee Relations
研究发现，企业并非零散地回应员工相关的企业责任问题，而是在外部压力下趋向一致行动，主动加强员工关系，尤其当员工关系问题增多时。
Research has traditionally portrayed voluntary corporate responsibility (CR) actions toward employees as episodic, discretionary activities that individual firms take in response to marginalized, fringe “gadflies.” In this study, which examines numerous external pressures from a firm’s institutional and task environment, our findings suggest more than simple episodic responses that vary from firm to firm, but rather a conformity of action with respect to a firm’s voluntary activities toward its employees. In the absence of explicit mandates, firms are voluntarily strengthening employee relations, especially if they are increasing employee-relations concerns. Overall, external pressures significantly affect the CR activities that firms direct toward employees.
