Chief Executive Officers and ESG: A Bibliometric and Systematic Literature Review and Research Agenda
对2014至2024年间49篇高质量期刊论文进行文献计量与系统综述，梳理CEO特征与ESG承诺及争议的关系，指出文献零散、聚焦于少数CEO特质且依赖定量方法，为未来研究提供方向。
ABSTRACT This work explores the historical, current, and future direction of the research on the relationship between CEO characteristics and ESG commitment, including ESG controversies—a recent key measure of corporate sustainability reputation that remains underexplored. We propose a bibliometric and systematic literature review of 49 academic articles from high‐quality journals, published between 2014 and 2024, selected according to the SPAR‐4‐SLR protocol. Although CEOs play an essential role in corporate sustainability, the literature is fragmented and focuses on a narrow range of CEO traits. Additionally, reliance on quantitative methods limits understanding of the behavioural mechanisms underlying CEO engagement in ESG strategies.
