摘要
Drawn on upper echelons theory, this study examine how CEO's MBA degree drivers corporate social responsibility (CSR). We propose that MBA CEO has a positive impact on a firm's CSR performance. Furthermore, we explore the moderating role of managerial discretion on the relationship between CEO MBA degree and CSR performance determined by personal and organizational factors. We find that CEO founder status and organizational slack positively moderates the relationship between CEO MBA degree and CSR performance. Using data on Chinese listed companies, our results support these hypotheses. Our research contributes to the upper echelons theory and CSR literature and has substantial practical implications.
