摘要

As interest in corporate social responsibility is increasing, CSO or board committee of CSR is evolving. Does existence of CSR executives make a difference? The results of our study indicate that existence of CSR executives strongly affects corporate social performance. Moreover, two moderators positively affect the main effect. First, origins of CSR executives have a moderation effect on the relationship between CSR executives and CSR performance. An insider is better than an outsider to perform the role. Second, tenure of CSR executives has partial moderation effect, so there is possibility that longer tenure is better to carry out the role.
