Does Corporate Charitable Giving Help Sustain Corporate Performance in China?

Abstract: We examined whether corporate charitable giving (CCG) in China benefits corporate performance (CP) in terms of sales growth (SG), return on asset (ROA), return on equity (ROE), and Tobin’s Q (TQ), and revealed several findings. First, testing shows variation in the impact of CCG on CP. Whereas the ratio of corporate charitable giving (RCCG) to total sales revenue does not significantly enhance SG, ROA, and ROE, it is positively related to TQ.

“…To the best of our knowledge, no prior study has explored the moderating effect of DMD on the relationship between corporate philanthropy and strategic outcomes or financial performance. The existing literatures have assumed implicitly that the firms conduct philanthropic donation through the same channel (Chen et al , 2018; Wang et al , 2019;Wang and Qian, 2011). As a matter of fact, a firm may have several options in terms of channels to donate, such as through corporate foundation, the Red Cross of China, TV media and other private charitable organizations (He and Wang, 2020).…”

“…From a resource-based theory perspective, this study explains the relationship between corporate social performance and corporate reputation. According to Wang et al (2019) investing company resources in social activities can have internal benefits by improving corporate performance and helping companies to develop new resources and capabilities related to company knowledge and culture. As a result, investing in social and disclosure activities has important consequences on the creation or depletion of underlying intangible resources.…”

“…Tobin's Q is often used to estimate the creation of new outcomes [1] or the future performance of a CBMA [114] and displays both the return of a firm's strategy and its predicted outcome [115]. Chen and Lin [116] and Wang, et al [117] incorporated Tobin's Q by measuring the corporate performance to address the future growth opportunities of observed firms. Since we evaluate the absorptive capacity's effect on future financial performance in terms of CBMA sustainability, we have also adopted Tobin's Q by following their study.…”
