Abstract
In my three paper dissertation, I explore the reasons of various levels of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). My first paper builds on upper echelon perspective (Hambrick & Mason, 1984) to demonstrate how changing CEO’s preference over their tenure life cycle influence CSR. In my second paper, I develop a model based on institutional theory (Meyer & Rowan, 1977) to find the best CSR performance level. In my third paper, based on Maslow (1943)’s hierarchy of needs, I examine the impact of CEO compensation gap on CEO needs and its influence on CSR. Together, I attempt to address how firm-level conditions (paper one), industry-level conditions (paper two), and different CEO needs (paper three) influence CSR.
