Despite scholarly attention on CEOs’ influence on corporate social responsibility (CSR), the CEO-CSR relationship has generally been assumed as linear, and we know little about what factors explain variation in firm CSR participation over time. Taking into consideration the power and motivation of CEOs during their tenure life cycle, we argue that there is a curvilinear (inverted U-shaped) relationship between tenure and CSR. We further argue that CEOs’ political orientation will moderate this relationship. Our results show that CSR activity varies with CEO tenure in the inverted U-shaped relationship but the association between tenure and CSR changes dramatically with CEO political orientation. Liberal CEOs maintain higher CSR in their late tenure compared to conservative CEOs who reduce CSR.

CEO的任期生命周期、企业社会责任和CEO政治取向的调节作用
尽管学术界关注 CEO 对企业社会责任 (CSR) 的影响,但 CEO-CSR 关系通常被假定为线性关系,我们对解释公司 CSR 参与随时间变化的因素知之甚少。考虑到 CEO 在其任期生命周期中的权力和动机,我们认为任期与企业社会责任之间存在曲线(倒 U 形)关系。我们进一步认为,CEO 的政治取向将缓和这种关系。我们的研究结果表明,CSR 活动在倒 U 形关系中随 CEO 任期而变化,但任期与 CSR 之间的关联随着 CEO 政治取向而发生显着变化。与减少企业社会责任的保守派 CEO 相比,自由派 CEO 在任期后期保持更高的企业社会责任。
