This study analyzed the effect of Corporate Social Responsibility and ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) score on information asymmetry from the perspective of investors, who are important stakeholders of the company. For KOSPI-listed companies from 2017 to 2020, the effect of ESG overall score and each item score (E, S, G) on the bid-ask spread, which is a proxy for information asymmetry, was confirmed. The results are as follows. First, the increase in corporate CSR activities resulted in lowering information asymmetry of investors. It was found that the higher the ESG score, an indicator of CSR activity, the lower the bid-ask spread, which is a proxy variable for information asymmetry. Second, as a result of analysis using ESG scores for each section, information asymmetry decreased as companies with higher scores in the environmental (E) and social (S) aspects, while the governance (G) score did not have a statistically significant effect. The analysis confirmed that corporate CSR activities can contribute to improving market efficiency by resolving information asymmetry of investors and convergence of the stock market into a state of equilibrium. This means that the company's CSR activities are reflected in the investment decision-making, which suggests that the company should consider the investor as a stakeholder in decision-making related to CSR activities.

This research seeks to provide evidence about how political connections, proxied by government ownership and the existence of politically connected board members, affect the extent of corporate social responsibility (CSR) disclosures in Indonesian listed companies. This research uses the legitimacy theory as a basis for explaining management's motivation for disclosing its CSR. The sample consists of 131 firm-year observations from 38 non-financial public companies that published sustainability reports from 2013 to 2017. We measured the CSR disclosures using a disclosure checklist on the sustainability reports. We subsequently processed the data using a random effect (RE) linear regression. The result shows that CSR disclosures were greater in government-owned companies but lower in companies that have politically connected board members. The results support the legitimacy theory that the government intends to demonstrate legitimate national economic and political conditions by showing that government-owned companies are sustainable. However, CSR disclosures seem to have a substitutive relationship with the existence of politically connected board members, since those political connections may protect the company from public pressure and/or the risk of litigation, reducing the need for CSR disclosures. This research provides evidence that different types of political connections may have different impacts on corporate disclosures.

본 연구는 최근 세계적인 이슈가 되고 있는 기업의 CSR성과와 기업의 지배구조가 체계적인 관련성을 가지는가에 대한 실증적인 분석을 하였다. 양호한 기업지배구조를 가진 기업은 더 높은 CSR성과를 가진다는 가설을 설정하고 국내 CSR성과 자료를 이용하여 실증적인 검증을 시도하였다. 이러한 가설을 검증하기 위하여 기업지배구조의 변수로 국내기관투자자지분율, 외국인투자지분율, 사외이사비율, 감사위원회도입과 CSR성과의 측정치로 한국경제정의연구소(KEJI)의 지수를 이용하여 1998년부터 2005까지 상장기업 130개 기업을 검증하였다. 연구결과 양호한 기업지배구조를 가진 기업과 CSR성과는 통계적으로 유의한 관계를 가지고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 기업지배구조의 변수 중 외국인투자지분율, 사외이사비율, 감사위원회도입과 CSR성과는 통계적으로 유의한 정의 관계를 나타내고 있다. 이러한 연구결과는 양호한 기업지배구조를 가진 기업은 더 나은 CSR성과로 나타나고 궁극적으로 기업가치를 높일 수 있는 연결고리를 보여주고 있으며, 기업의 지배구조개선으로 CSR성과를 제고시키는 전략적 수단이 될 수 있다는 점을 시사하고 있다. 특히, 본 연구결과는 한국기업이 CSR활동에 있어서는 여전히 걸음마 수준에 있는 만큼 많은 경영자들에게 기업의 지배구조와 CSR에 대한 새로운 인식을 가질 수 있는 계기가 될 수 있음을 보여주고 있다.

This study examines the impact of consumer ethics on the CSR motive attributions and, the subsequent consumer perception of the firm's ethicality. Data of 512 adults were collected nationwide using a self-administered questionnaire online. Exploratory and confirmative factor analysis were employed to identify six underlying dimensions of consumer ethics, as follows: actively benefiting from illegal actions, passively benefiting from illegal actions, no harm/no foul, economic benefiting from illegal actions, intellectual property infringement, and pro-environmental behavior. In order to examine the relationships between consumer ethics, CSR motive attribution, and consumer perceived ethicality, a structural equation modeling test was conducted. The results demonstrated that actively benefiting from illegal actions, economic benefiting from illegal action, and pro-environmental behavior had impacts on CSR motive attributions such as strategy-driven attribution, value-driven attribution, and stakeholder-driven attribution. Consequently, strategy-driven attribution and value-driven attribution influenced the consumer perception of the firm's ethicality, whereas stakeholder-driven attribution did not. This study provides an understanding of the CSR attribution mechanism from the view of consumer ethics that are multi-dimensional. The ethical judgements on different types of consumer behavior lead to attributions of CSR motives and subsequently their perception of a firm's ethicality.
