本文融合社会资本理论,构建了转型经济中企业社会责任影响组织竞争优势的理论框架,并运用151家中国企业的调查数据进行了实证检验。结果发现:企业社会责任与经济绩效之间不存在相关性.但与组织声誉正向相关.社会资本会明显强化企业社会责任的“声誉效应”。具体而言,等级制社会资本会显著促进企业社会责任与组织声誉的相关关系。而市场社会资本则限制了企业社会责任对组织声誉的贡献。本文从研究方法的跨层次风险、资源依赖的动态性和整合能力等方面进行了应用性的讨论,建议中国企业用基于社会资本的“战略性社会责任”超越“慈善导向的社会责任”.通过这种战略转型积聚组织竞争优势.
This paper, integrating theory of social capital, investigates how corporate social responsibility (CSR) affects the organizational competitive advantage in a transitional economy, and examines empirically the theoretical framework using 151 Chinese sample companies. Evidences indicate that CSR has little association with corporate economic performance, but positive relationship with organizational reputation. Moreover, social capital strengthens significantly the "reputational effect" of CSR. Specifically, hierarchical social capital promotes the correlation between CSR and organizational reputation, business social capital, however, weakens the contribution of CSR to organizational reputation. Discussions about the risk of cross-level measurement, dynamics of resource dependence and ability of integration are provided. The author suggests Chinese companies construct social-capital- based "strategic CSR" and go beyond "philanthropy-oriented CSR" to change strategic policy and obtain organizational competitive advantage.
