伦理领导与企业社会责任:利益相关者压力和权力距离的影响效应

近年来,研究者就企业社会责任履行的前置因素和动力机制进行了大量的探索,其中伦理领导对企业社会责任的影响受到越来越多的关注和探讨。本文在现有文献研究的基础上,构建了伦理领导对企业社会责任影响的调节―中介效应模型,探讨组织伦理文化的中介作用和利益相关者压力与权力距离的调节效应。实证结果表明,组织伦理文化对伦理领导与企业社会责任具有部分中介作用,利益相关者压力和权力距离对伦理领导与组织伦理文化分别具有负向和正向的调节效应。本文的研究清晰阐述了伦理领导对企业社会责任影响的作用机制,明确了伦理和文化对企业承担社会责任的重要意义,为政府制定政策和监管企业履行社会责任提供帮助,激励企业负责任行为。
In recent years, researchers have conducted substantial explorations of front factors and the mechanism of corporate social responsibility, among which impacts of ethical leadership on corporate social responsibility have been heatedly discussed. Based on existing literatures, this paper investigates the mediating effects of organizational ethical culture and moderating effects of stakeholder pressure and power distance with the help of the moderated-mediation model of ethical leadership’s effects on corporate social responsibility. The empirical results show that organizational ethical culture partially mediates ethical leadership and corporate social responsibility, and that stakeholder pressure and power distance have negative and positive moderating effects respectively on ethic leadership and organizational ethic culture. The paper clearly illustrates the mechanism of ethical leadership’s influences on corporate social responsibility, and highlights the significance of ethics and culture for enterprises’ assuming social responsibility so as to benefit government policy-making and supervision and encourage enterprises’ responsible practices
