| dc.description.abstract | This study investigated the effects of national culture, corporate governance and CSR governance on corporate social responsibility (CSR) disclosure quality based on stakeholder, legitimacy and agency theories in the context of Asia-pacific region. Variables included within the national culture are power distance, individualism, uncertainty avoidance and masculinity. Two factors called board size and board independence were studied under the corporate governance mechanism. Regarding CSR governance, two variables were involved, namely, CSR committee existence and NGO alliance. The samples are 139 public listed companies on the list of Forbes Global 2000 Leading Companies in the year 2012 originating from 13 main countries in the Asia-pacific region. The randomly stratified sampling was used in selecting the samples. Content analysis method was employed to help data collection by reviewing sample companies‟ annual reports and stand-alone CSR-related reports. The measurement of CSR disclosure quality was dependent upon the CSR disclosure index adopted and integrated from several previous literatures, which contains 67 items from six categories, namely, environment, energy, community, products, human rights and human resource development. The results found that individualism has negative relationship with CSR disclosure quality, while CSR committee existence and NGO alliance could positively influence CSR disclosure quality. Nevertheless, the rest of expected variables did not show significant influences on CSR disclosure quality. On the other hand, as a tested moderator, top management commitment did not present an overall significant moderating effect。 | en_US |
