The management of the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program is determined by the process of knowledge and power contestation in the governance of the CSR program. This contestation of knowledge about CSR often occurs on three social entities namely state, private, and community. Therefore, this research aims to examine the construction of knowledge of state, company, and community against the management of CSR program; and analyzing the political contestation (interests and powers) that occur at three social spaces in the management of CSR program. Research was conducted in Kembang Kuning village, Klapanunggal sub-district, Bogor district with critical paradigm using qualitative approach and case study method. The results showed that there are three forms of knowledge construction in CSR program. First, the construction that happens on the relationship between the community and the government that describes the CSR program as an aid. Second, the construction that happens on the relationship between the community and the company that describes the CSR program as an aid and obligation. Third, the construction that happens on the relationship between the government and the company that describes the CSR program as an obligation. The construction of this knowledge ultimately affects the dispute of interest which is make the low-class community becomes marginalized. Therefore, knowledge of CSR is constructed in such a manner as to provide higher economic benefits to the upper classes (high-class community, government, and company).Keywords: contestation, corporate social responsibility program, knowledge, relation-------------------------------ABSTRAK Pengelolaan program Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) ditentukan oleh proses kontestasi pengetahuan dan kekuasaan dalam tatakelola program CSR. Kontestasi pengetahuan tentang CSR sering terjadi pada tiga entitas sosial yakni negara, swasta dan masyarakat. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji konstruksi pengetahuan negara, perusahaan dan masyarakat terhadap pengelolaan program CSR; dan menganalisis kontestasi politik (kepentingan dan kekuasaan) yang terjadi di tiga ruang sosial dalam pengelolaan program CSR. Penelitian dilaksanakan di desa Kembang Kuning, Kecamatan Klapanunggal, Kabupaten Bogor dengan paradigma kritis menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dan metode studi kasus. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat tiga bentuk konstruksi pengetahuan dalam program CSR. Pertama, konstruksi yang terjadi pada relasi antara masyarakat dengan pemerintah yang menggambarkan program CSR sebagai bantuan. Kedua, konstruksi yang terjadi pada relasi antara masyarakat dengan perusahaan yang menggambarkan program CSR sebagai bantuan dan kewajiban. Ketiga, konstruksi yang terjadi pada relasi antara pemerintah dengan perusahaan yang menggambarkan program CSR sebagai kewajiban. Konstruksi kuasa pengetahuan ini pada akhirnya mempengaruhi konstestasi kepentingan dimana masyarakat lapisan bawah menjadi termarjinalkan. Oleh karena itu, pengetahuan CSR dikonstruksi dan dikontestasikan sedemikian rupa dalam rangka memberikan keuntungan ekonomi yang lebih kepada kelas atas (masyarakat lapisan atas, pemerintah dan perusahaan).Kata kunci: kontestasi, pengetahuan, program corporate social responsibility, relasi

This study investigates the relationship between sub-national institutional contingencies and corporate social responsibility performance (CSRP). Sub-national institutional contingencies (SNICs) play a moderating role in the link between CSRP and corporate financial performance (CFP). Using data from all A-share Chinese companies listed on the Shenzhen and Shanghai exchanges for the period 2010 to 2015, ordinary least square (OLS) regression was used as a baseline methodology to draw inferences from the data. The study uses propensity score matching (PSM) to confirm the robustness and to tackle the possible issue of endogeneity. We find reliable evidence that SNICs have a positive and significant effect on CSRP. This positive relationship is more pronounced in cross-listed companies as compared to state-owned enterprises (SOEs) and in companies located in the more developed region. Moreover, SNICs moderate the positive relationship between CSRP and CFP. The relationship is stronger in firms that are non-SOEs, are non-cross-listed, and are from less-developed regions as compared to their counterparts. The findings provide implications for regulators and individual companies. Investment in corporate social responsibility (CSR) helps companies to achieve their primary objective (i.e., financial performance). With respect to practical implications, the study indicates that policymakers, executives, and managers should refrain from “one size fits all” CSR policies. Instead, they need to simultaneously evaluate the effects of regional development, cross-listing, and ownership characteristics. Considering weak social performance by firms that are from less developed regions, are non-cross-listed, and that are non-SOEs, policymakers and the government should improve information transparency and the regulatory framework, and provide these firms with incentives. This study also provides insights for other emerging economies, especially those going through extraordinary government interventions.

This article is intended to empirically test the effectiveness of the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) dimension of assistance to Small Business Entrepreneurs (SMEs) under companies’ guidance of Semen Indonesia in Central and East Java. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) implementation for Small Business Entrepreneurs (SMEs), besides as a social contract implementation, is also an effort to increase legitimacy. This study is essential to obtain effective and relevant CSR dimensions recommended for the SME empowering program. The study was conducted at SMEs domiciled around the mining area and the cement factory. Out of 250 SMEs, 92 SMEs were involved in this study. The research data was primary, including respondents’ opinions, where the data were taken using survey and interview procedures. Data analysis using statistics was a factorial analysis. The results showed that of the eight programs included in CSR in the field of assistance for empowering SMEs, two were effective for empowering SMEs: (1) low-cost revolving funds and (2) production equipment assistance for SMEs. Meanwhile, six other CSR programs showed ineffectiveness: (1) mentoring, (2) marketing, (3) ease of procedure and relief of loan terms, (4) education and training, (5) accessibility of obtaining loans, and (6) the involvement of parties in the implementation of CSR. It indicated that the six CSR programs were not effective in helping to build image and legitimacy. The results of the research make an important contribution to the government and corporations and show that the construction of CSR programs must give attention to the real conditions and needs of SMEs in order to achieve effectiveness in solving problems by SMEs. Especially for the government, regulations are needed that can systemically encourage companies to implement CSR. This research still has limitations, therefore further research should be developed, especially in the area of empirical testing related to the contextual dimensions of CSR that are relevant to assisted stakeholders. Development-based research should be considered.

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.

Abstract This study investigates government public policies facing competing firms’ strategic corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities and finds that the choice of CSR crucially depends on corporate profit tax. We demonstrate that strategic CSR decreases while social welfare increases with corporate tax. When the government grants uniform output subsidies, we show that bilateral CSR leads to a lower CSR level than under unilateral CSR but bilateral CSR is always beneficial to society. However, when the government grants discriminatory output subsidies which yield different levels of unilateral CSR, we show that domestic CSR leads to a lower CSR level than under foreign CSR. In an endogenous CSR choice game, domestic CSR (no CSR) is a Nash equilibrium when corporate tax is low (high) under the uniform subsidy, while foreign CSR could be a Nash equilibrium when corporate tax is low under the discriminatory subsidy.

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.
