Abstract
We examine the relationship between board of director attributes and CSR in emerging economies. We draw on insights from Resource Dependence Theory to examined how boards, through their attributes, helps align the organization with its social environment by reducing uncertainty around securing of crucial resources (e.g., knowledge, legitimacy) for the firm’s wellbeing. We focus on the board’s (1) political influence, (2) community involvement, (3) international experience, (4) business expertise, (5) outside directorships, and (6) presence of outsiders. We test hypotheses on a unique dataset comprising companies’ from six of the most prominent emerging markets in Asia (largest 100 firms from each stock exchange for India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, Philippines, and Thailand) for a five year period from 2010 to 2014. We discuss implications for theory and practice.
