Abstract

Despite increased interest in corporate social irresponsibility (CSI) among business scholars, the current research is still fragmented, its findings lacking a nuanced understanding. We conduct a systematic literature review of 173 journal articles on CSI published in the field of business and synthesize insights regarding the antecedents, consequences, and mechanisms of CSI. We begin by providing a clear definition, distinct types, and the measurement methods of CSI. Then, we provide a comprehensive research framework that demonstrates the three key components of CSI research: antecedent, consequence, and moderating. Building on this, we identify additional specific research methods for each component and apply them to assess and analyze the existing research findings and research gaps concerning CSI. We suggest that scholars pay more attention to (a) the impact of stakeholders on CSI behavior, (b) the different impacts of CSI on firm performance, (c) the relationship among CSI, corporate social responsibility, and firm performance, (d) CSI in the context of emerging economies, and (e) measuring CSI.

摘要

摘要

尽管管理学者对企业的不负社会责任行为（CSI）的兴趣日益浓厚，但目前的研究仍很零散，对研究结果也缺乏细致入微的解读。本文对商学领域发表的173 篇有关CSI 的学术论文进行了系统性文献回顾，并对CSI 的前因、后果和机制进行了归纳。本文首先对CSI 的定义、类型和测量方法进行了阐述。然后提供了一个全面的研究框架来展示CSI 研究的三个关键组成部分：前因、后果和调节变量研究。在此基础上，文章识别了每部分研究的具体研究方法，并以此来评估和分析关于CSI 的现有研究成果以及研究差距。作者建议学者们未来更多地关注：(a) 利益相关者对CSI 行为的影响；(b) CSI 对企业绩效的不同影响；(c) CSI 、企业社会责任与企业绩效之间的互动关系； (d) 新兴经济体背景的CSI ；以及(e) CSI 的测量。
