Despite that the relationship between corporate social responsibility activities and real estate operations seems relevant, only some studies have been conducted to explore the reasons that drive these activities in real estate companies. This work presents the relationship between CEO personality traits and corporate social responsibility (CSR) and shows whether corporate governance (CG) practices mitigate or enhance this relationship. This study uses a sample of 420 firm-year-observations using a sample of European real estate firms indexed on Stoxx Europe 600 Index from 2010 to 2019. To test the developed hypotheses, feasible generalized least square (FGLS) regression is applied. The results show that increased confidence in CEOs is an important factor in determining corporate incentives to undertake social responsibility activities. In addition, it has been shown that effective corporate governance practices lead significantly to moderate CEO behavior with regard to corporate social responsibility sharing. Since corporate governance can have a significant impact on CEOs’ behavior in relation to corporate social responsibility, the author recommends firms to improve corporate governance in listed European real estate companies.

Purpose This paper examines whether shareholders consider corporate social responsibility (CSR) performance when voting on corporate governance change proposals submitted by dissident shareholders. These proposals recommend changes to the corporate governance status quo and are made by dissident shareholders who are dissatisfied with the company’s existing governance practices. Design/methodology/approach Using 195 governance change proposals voted on during 2013, the paper examines the relationship between CSR performance (obtained from the MSCI database) and the level of voting support for these proposals. Findings This study finds that shareholder support for corporate governance change proposals submitted by dissident shareholders is positively related to firms’ CSR concerns, especially environmental concerns. Research limitations/implications The findings suggest that shareholders may be concerned with the potentially adverse effects of weak CSR performance, especially poor environmental performance, and may support changes to corporate governance structures when a company’s CSR and environmental performance is weaker. Originality/value As the first research to examine the relationship between CSR and proposed changes to corporate governance, this study provides unique insights into shareholder perceptions of the value of CSR based on shareholders’ support (or lack thereof) for governance changes proposed by dissident shareholders.

Financial flexibility has engrossed considerable interest of researcher over the last three decades. It is considered as most critical element of capital structure decision. The objectives of this research are to synthesize the existing literature on financial flexibility and find the literature gap. First, we show the relationship between theories and financial flexibility from existing literature and discuss the relationship between cash holding, leverage, payout policy and impact on firm performance during and after financial crisis. Second, we discuss how off balance sheet instruments impact on leverage and financial flexibility. We also discuss the relationship between corporate governance, corporate social responsibility and financial flexibility. We evidence from existing literature that financial flexibility has positive relationship on investment and firm performance during and after financial crisis. In addition to that we conclude that the off balance sheet instrument financing is increasing abnormally, and it has effect on debt policy and financial flexibility that yet to be studied verified. We further document from the current literature that corporate social responsibility and corporate governance may also widen financial flexibility in the US market but no significant researcher addressed these issues in the developed markets. While using Altman’s Z-Score for measuring financial flexibility it is unable to accommodate off balance sheet items therefore market demands for adjusted Z-Score.

Corporate governance (CG) is a corporate governance system for large companies which includes policies and procedures for corporate social responsibility (CSR). The present study examines the relationships between CG and CSR, and analyzes the studies that separate or combine the explanation of the two concepts.CG can be interpreted as the relationship between governors and stakeholders. Angyal (2009) and Auer (2017) agree that the two phenomena coexist and are connected at several points. The goals of the two phenomena are intertwined, compliance with other important requirements (environmental, labor law) besides the primary corporate goal. CG is a system based on the sharing of power and roles between owners, management and boards (board, supervisory board). The roles of ownership, supervision, and control are separated. The division of power means that the boards keep the management under strict control and the owners can account for the boards (Tasi, 2012). According to Tasi (2012), responsible CG involves careful management; financial planning and implementation; control mechanisms for the operation of the company; company transparency and business ethicsissues; publicizing corporate information and corporate social responsibility policies and practices. Angyal (2009) sees that CG and CSR are intertwined “neither intersection, nor intersection, nor parallelism, but coexistence”. (Angel,2009: 14). It does not agree with the incompatibility of corporate governance or corporate governance and social responsibility, in practice the former two are more common. Corporate governance encompasses corporate social responsibility policies, procedures, and can be interpreted as the relationship between governors and stakeholders. The authors of the studies analyzed agree that the two phenomena coexist and are connected at several points. The goals of the two phenomena are intertwined with compliance with other important requirements (environmental, labor law) besides the primary corporate goal. JEL Classification: G30; G39, M14

The objective of this research is to find out the moderating effect of corporate governance on the relationship of corporate social responsibility and product market competition to company value. The control variable in this study is company size. The sample of this study was 216 observations consisting of 54 manufacturing companies listed in the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2016 until 2019. Moreover, the simple random sampling method is employed to grab them. To analyze the data, we use the multiple regression model with polling data. The findings of this research are product market competition negatively affects company value. In opposition, corporate social responsibility and  corporate governance positively affect company value. Meanwhile, corporate governance only moderates the effect of product market competition on the company value. The implication of this study is that good corporate governance practices can reduce the negative effects of PMC on company value.
