“…Consistent with expectations, we found a positive relationship between GHRM and adopting CSR practices. This result consistent with the findings of many studies that investigate the critical role of HRM in making organizations more socially and environmentally responsible (Peña‐Vinces and Delgado‐Márquez, ; Tariq et al ., ; Breitbarth et al ., ; Szczepańska‐Woszczyna, ; Consoli et al ., ; Gholami et al ., ; Pinzone et al ., ; Shnayder et al ., ; Teixeira et al ., ; Lopatta et al ., ; Masri and Jaaron, ; Nejati et al ., ).…”

Green human resource management (GHRM) and corporate social responsibility (CSR) have recently gained more attention in the business world. This study aims to investigate the role of corporate support for employee volunteering (CSEV) in strengthening the impact of GHRM on adopting CSR practices of the best 30 firms registered in EGX100 at the Egyptian stock exchange and engaged with CSR activities. Therefore, a conceptual framework was proposed to list theoretical concepts of GHRM, CSEV and CSR to form hypotheses. Data were collected from 326 respondents occupying the highest managerial positions in the studied firms. Using a structural equation model (SEM), the results indicate that both GHRM and CSEV influence positively on adopting CSR activities. Furthermore, CSEV plays a positive moderating role in strengthening the impact of GHRM on adopting CSR in the studied firms. These findings and their managerial implications were discussed in theory and practice.

“…This ownership separation may create conflict between the two parties, with managers' self-interest giving rise to informal and illegal activities. Short-term opportunistic managers are likely to be involved in unlawful and corrupt behavior that may damage a firm's reputation and governance ability [49,50]. Therefore, external directors are required to monitor the activities of insiders and to communicate with stakeholders.…”

Professional expert directors extensively influence corporate corruption disclosure (CCD), while higher political connections may exacerbate corporate management. This study investigates the relationship between the presence of external experts on a board and CCD, as well as the moderating effect of political connections, on the positive role of legal experts in CCD. The study combines agency, resource dependence and stakeholder theories to show how resourceful directors on the board can promote corruption disclosure. Using data on listed firms in the Bangladeshi financial sector, the study analyzes 247 firm-year observations from 2012 to 2016. The results of a multiple regression analysis indicate that accounting experts, legal experts, political connections and corporate media visibility each have a positive and significant influence on CCD. Moreover, the moderating effect of political connections on the relationship between legal experts and CCD is negative and significant due to their higher political influences. The study has significant implications for corporate governance and for policies concerning the development of the economy while reducing corruption.

“…Being CSR a multidimensional variable it is important to carry a consistent CSR engagement strategy in order to build stakeholder confidence, as the literature has regularly stressed (e.g., Tang et al, ). A better CSR performance may even lower the firms' exposure to corruption (Lopatta et al, ).…”

Despite the existing vast literature on corporate social responsibility (CSR), there is a lack of research on the determinants of CSR categoriesenvironment, employees, community, and governance. Why do some firms dedicate more effort to community, while others focus on environment or employees? We address these issues with special attention to the roles of market structure and firm size, controlling for industry, geography, regulatory and macroeconomic variables. Answers are relevant for firms' strategic decisions, taking into account what rivals likely choose, in a world where CSR is often a competition tool. Public authorities also benefit on choosing focus: lack of competition; small or large sized firms; which categories are more affected. We find that all CSR categories profit more from a competitive setup, particularly employees and environment, and from larger firms, mainly environment. Size and market concentration thus contribute in different directions to CSR, contradicting their usually presumed positive association.
