Exploring the Relationship Between Entrepreneurship and Psychological Characteristics, and Corporate Social Responsibility Under Marketization

Abstract

The present work aims to explore how and to what extent ventures can bear social responsibilities due to their increasingly important role in social and economic activities. Here, the correlation between entrepreneurship and psychological characteristics of entrepreneurs, and corporate social responsibility is analyzed from the perspective of entrepreneurial entrepreneurs based on marketization theories of enterprise activities. The β value of entrepreneurship in corporate social responsibility is obtained as 0.863 (p < 0.001) through a questionnaire survey (QS) and statistical analysis. It indicates that entrepreneurship has a significant positive impact on corporate social responsibility. The regression coefficient of the marketization process is 0.574, and the significance is <0.01. The results show that there is a significant positive correlation between the marketization process and corporate social responsibility at the level of 1%. When the marketization process is introduced, entrepreneurship significantly and positively impacts corporate social responsibility (β = 0.524, p < 0.001), while the marketization process has a great positive impact on corporate social responsibility (β = 0.502, p < 0.001). However, the coefficient of entrepreneurship and psychological characteristics decreases from 0.863 to 0.524. It reveals that its impact on corporate social responsibility is weakened by the introduction of the marketization intermediary variable, but the overall variation that the model can explain increases to 84.3%. The results show that the marketization process has a significant positive mediating effect on the relationship between entrepreneurship and corporate social responsibility, and entrepreneurship plays a very important role in corporate social responsibility. The content and methods are complete and comprehensive, and the results can provide scientific and effective references for subsequent studies.

Chief Executive Officer Tenacity and Employee Intrapreneurial Behavior: The Mediating Role of Corporate Social Responsibility

“…In accordance with this result, previous studies have demonstrated the importance of CSR in improving corporate sustainability performance and promoting organizational development (Crișan-Mitra et al, 2020;May et al, 2021;Vătămănescu et al, 2021). Besides, the study extends understanding of the antecedents and consequences of CSR (Pasricha et al, 2018;Memon et al, 2021;Shen et al, 2021;Zhao et al, 2021). Furthermore, it is very interesting that the mediating role of CSR connects upper echelons theory and SIP theory.…”

Comply or evade: factors influencing private enterprises’ basic old-age insurance responsibilities

“…Recognizing the potential introduction of estimation bias attributed to the omission of pertinent variables, this study has undertaken a comprehensive robustness assessment through the introduction of control variables. Prior scholarly endeavors have underscored the influence exerted by entrepreneurs’ characteristics upon a company’s engagement in social responsibility activities ( 48 ). As such, to comprehensively address potential confounding factors, this analysis incorporates four control variables that encapsulate entrepreneurs’ attributes.…”

The Impact of Financial Redundancy on Corporate Social Responsibility Performance: Evidence From Chinese Listed Firms

“…There is empirical evidence that research and development (R&D) expenditures are correlated with CSR choice ( Padgett and Galan, 2010 ; Li et al, 2021 ). Similarly, the degree of marketization, the ratio of independent directors, and the management expense ratio are related to CSR investment ( Flammer, 2015 ; Ardito et al, 2021 ; Shen et al, 2021 ). We additionally include regional marketization degree ( Market ), R&D expenditure ( RD ), the ratio of independent directors ( Inde ), and management expense ratio ( ME ) as control variables in Equation 1.…”
