Abstract

At present, China is in the period of economic transformation, many enterprises pay too much attention to economic interests but ignore the social responsibilities that should be borne. All sectors of society are paying more and more attention to corporate social responsibility (CSR). Taking the informal institutions as an entry point and A-share listed companies in Shanghai and Shenzhen from 2009 to 2019 as samples, this paper discusses the impact of executives’ hometown feelings on CSR with the aid of crawler technology. The empirical results show that executives’ hometown feelings can positively promote the fulfillment of CSR, and this promotion effect is stronger in state-owned enterprises. The research conclusions show that, as an informal institution, hometown feelings can subtly affect executives’ values and behavior cognition, stimulate executives’ psychological preference, and restrain executives’ self-serving behaviors, which provides an empirical basis for CSR management innovation in the local context.
