A CEO’s Childhood Family Decline and Corporate Social Responsibility: The Mediating Role of Long-Term Orientation
研究基于1000多家中国上市公司数据，发现CEO童年经历家庭衰落会提升企业社会责任评级，长期导向起中介作用，职业多样性和教育水平调节该影响。
The relationship between a chief executive officer’s childhood experience of family decline and his or her firm’s social responsibility rating was explored using data on more than 1000 Chinese listed firms. Such childhood experience is shown to predict better CSR ratings. This may be because adversity in childhood shifts the cognitive map through accommodation process, and further fosters cognitive processing ability and a long-term orientation. Career variety and education level are shown to moderate the imprinting effect by altering its strength. Career variety weakens the relationship whereas education level strengthens it.
