“…All the control variables used in the present study (size, leverage, age, industry) are significant in contributing to the CSP (Harjoto et al, 2015; Kaymak & Bektas, 2017; Kwatra, 2015). As anticipated, age and size have a significant positive impact on CSP whereas, leverage is negatively related to CSP (Dam & Scholtens, 2012; Haniffa & Cooke, 2005) and there are differences in industry wise CSP.…”

“…Sometimes, the size of the firm has no relationship with CSP (Kwatra, 2015;McGuire et al, 2003) or it negatively affects CSP or some dimensions of it (Melo, 2012). Kwatra (2015) found that the age of the firm does not affect the CSP of multinational manufacturing companies in India. But mature Brammer and Pavelin (2008), Reverte (2009) propose that based on agency theory, a low degree of leverage ensures that creditor stakeholders will exert less pressure on managers to constrain their decision related to CSP.…”

“…Size of the firm usually has a positive effect on CSR and CSP (Ali et al, 2017; Dam & Scholtens, 2012; Frias‐Aceituno et al, 2013; Haniffa & Cooke, 2005; Harjoto et al, 2015; Ntim & Soobaroyen, 2013; Reverte, 2009). Sometimes, the size of the firm has no relationship with CSP (Kwatra, 2015; McGuire et al, 2003) or it negatively affects CSP or some dimensions of it (Melo, 2012).…”

An assessment of the determinants of corporate social performance (CSP) in emerging economies is still too fractured. This article contributes to general management literature by developing an empirical model based on the existing theoretical models rooted in neo‐institutional theory (legitimacy approach), stakeholders management theory, agency theory, the resource‐based view of the firm, slack resources argument, and managerial control theory. A robust, multidimensional, unweighted disclosure index was used to measure CSP. This article provides a methodologically and empirically more rigorous assessment of determinants of CSP compared to previous studies by performing panel data regression analysis on 307 firms for 10 years. The results reveal that the presence of a legal framework, board attributes (board size, board diversity, board interlocking), women on board, ownership pattern, financial performance, firm attributes (size, age, leverage), and industry characteristics affect CSP significantly. These findings provide very important clues to design pragmatic strategies to improve CSP.

This paper studies the lack of gender diversity at the board level in Lebanese banks following Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) principles. It also addresses women’s reactions and behaviours towards this issue. The employed methodology is multi-modal and uses both quantitative and qualitative tools. The data was collected via survey and semi-structured interviews from 42 managers in 21 banks, which according to their websites, follow the CSR principles. The quantitative data revealed the relevant trends, while the qualitative data provided comprehensive explanations and in-depth understanding of the related issues. The findings of this paper shed light on the personal disappointment women interviewees felt about their lack of progress as well as their inability to assume a place on the board. They also address the contribution of the four main causes of board-level gender discrimination in Lebanese banks, namely the limitations imposed by the patriarchal culture, CEO succession planning, Human Resource (HR) diversity management practices, as well as those due to women themselves. They found that women react to these challenges by relying on their emotional intelligence. However, they tend to overestimate themselves for self-protection in the male dominated financial world. This study is not without its limitations, but it recommends further research concerning related policies and strategies of the administrative boards, legislating entities, and controlling entities, such as the Central Bank of Lebanon (Banque du Liban, BDL), in order to explicitly explore strategies that affect gender discrimination. This study creates value for banks that are genuinely interested in implementing CSR in order to benefit their corporate governance (CG) practices as well as the society at large.
