Abstract

Using data of Chinese listed companies, this study investigates the determinants of corporate volunteering. We find that, based on "signal" and "reputation" motivation, corporate size has a significantly positive effect on corporate volunteering. Large companies are engaged in more volunteer services to enhance their reputations. Moreover, state-owned enterprises are more willing to participate in volunteerism and have higher level of volunteer service; and Central-state-owned enterprises have higher level of volunteer service than local-state-owned enterprises(LSOEs). These findings provide suggestions for corporate CSR strategy making and the government to build up the institution to improve the development of Chinese philanthropy.
