Enterprises can promote the fulfillment of corporate social responsibility through excellent internal control so as to achieve the long-term development. Based on the empirical data of main board listed companies of Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges from 2013 to 2015, this paper conducts an empirical test by establishing the relationship models among internal control, nature of equity and corporate social responsibility. The results indicate that: (a) Internal control can positively promote the fulfillment of corporate social responsibility; (b) The state-owned enterprises fulfill corporate social responsibility better than non-state-owned enterprises; (c) State-owned enterprises can enhance the positive effect of internal control on the fulfillment of corporate social responsibility.

The paper attempts to examine the relationship between six (6) Corporate Governance mechanisms (namely board matters, nomination matters, audit matters, remuneration matters, communication matters and risk management matters) of Shari’ah Compliant Companies (ShCC) with Islamic Corporate Social Responsibility (i-CSR) disclosure. The i-CSR disclosure index was developed by incorporated the five values of Maqasid Shari’ah and Maslahah. While, this study employed the corporate governance index based on the Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance (MCCG) 2007 (Securities Commission, 2007b), MCCG 2012 (Securities Commission, 2012), Corporate Governance Guide issued by Bursa Malaysia (Bursa Malaysia, 2012), and MCCG Index 2011 from the Minority Shareholder Watchdog Group (MSWG, 2011); Omar & Abdul Rahman, (2009) and Mohammed et al. (2009).  The research used content analysis and a sample of 187 ShCC annual reports from 2008 to 2013. STATA was used to assess the relationship between CG mechanisms and i-CSR disclosure in this analysis. The result of the relationship between CG mechanisms and i-CSR disclosure after statistically control by firm size (proxy by total assets) and profitability (proxy by return on assets, net profit margin and return on equity) showed that only remuneration matters (RM), communication matters (CM) and risk management matters (RK) positive and significantly influenced the i-CSR disclosure.


From the last many years' educators, administrators and, researchers persistently devoting attention to corporate social responsibility. However, no study analyses the relationship between corporate social responsibility and shareholder value by using leverage as a moderator. The aim of this research is to produce a review to examine the effect of corporate social responsibility on shareholder value with leverage as a moderating variable. The stakeholder theory and agency theory are employed as underpinning theories. Little attention has been given in this area of study in the developing, emerging and developed economies particularly with leverage and shareholder value. Therefore, scholars and practitioners are motivated to advance the body of knowledge in this research field for the universal enrichment of output. As the review forms a concept of corporate social responsibility and shareholder value by using leverage as a moderator.

Die Fähigkeit eines Unternehmens, über den Tellerrand des rein wirtschaftlichen Handelns hinauszublicken und sich als glaubwürdiges Glied in der Gesellschaft zu definieren, gilt als zunehmend wichtiger Erfolgsfaktor. Als ungenügend wird die enge opportunistische Ausrichtung des Managementhandelns auf den Shareholder Value gegeißelt. Der Gesellschaft wird die Legitimation zugesprochen, die Unternehmen darauf hin zu beurteilen, ob sie in ihren Aktivitäten moralischen Grundsätzen standhalten und zu einem „guten“ gesellschaftlichen Leben beitragen. Umgekehrt wird von den Unternehmen verlangt, diesen Beitrag zur „Social Responsiveness“ sichtbar zu machen, sich offen gegenüber der Unternehmensumwelt zu verhalten, ein ehrliches Verhalten an den Tag zu legen und auf die Interessen und Anliegen der Stakeholder konstruktiv einzugehen. Die nachfolgenden Standpunkte zum Thema CSR beleuchten die Thematik aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven. Matthias Karmasin gibt einen methodischen Überblick über die Konzeptionen und Instrumente von CSR und verweist auf die hohe Verantwortung von Medien unternehmen, sich ernsthaft mit CSR auseinander zu setzen. Peter Strahlendorf zeigt auf, dass sich im Bereich der Medienunternehmen zahlreiche Beispiele für eindrucksvolle CSR-Aktivitäten finden lassen, dass teilweise aber auch Nach holbedarf, z. B. im Vergleich zur Industrie, besteht. Florian Nehm fokussiert den Blick auf das Nachhaltigkeitskonzept bei der Axel Springer AG.

We investigate the relationship of corporate social responsibility (CSR) (often assumed to reflect corporate voluntarism) and government (often assumed to reflect coercion). We distinguish two broad perspectives on the CSR and government relationship: the dichotomous (i.e., government and CSR are / should be independent of one another) and the related (i.e., government and CSR are / should be interconnected). Using typologies of CSR public policy and of CSR and the law, we present an integrated framework for corporate discretion for engagement with public policy for CSR. We make four related contributions. First, we explain the dichotomous and the related perspectives with reference to their various assumptions and analyses. Second, we demonstrate that public policy for CSR and corporate discretion coexist and interact. Specifically, we show, third, that public policy for CSR can inform and stimulate corporate discretion and, fourth, that corporations have discretion for CSR, particularly as to how corporations engage with such policy.

Although there has been extensive research on the corporate social responsibility (CSR)–performance link, full understanding is still elusive. A possible reason for this is the limited understanding of the underlying processes that affect the relationship. Grounded in institutional theory, which emphasizes the importance of micro-level intermediating processes (e.g., employees’ perceptions and attitudes) to explain a macro-level association (i.e., CSR to organizational performance), we built a moderated mediation model where: (i) organization commitment mediated the influence of CSR on organizational performance, and (ii) an employee’s prosocial motivation moderated the relationship between CSR and organizational commitment. Using three-wave time-lagged survey data obtained from 302 Korean workers, we found that organizational commitment is an important micro-level process in the CSR–performance link, and that the level of an employee’s prosocial motivation can positively moderate that link. We discuss theoretical and practical implications, along with limitations and future research directions.
