An Empirical Investigation of the Relationship between Corporate Social Performance and Firm Performance: Evidence from Public Utility Corporations
Pages 134 - 137
Abstract
This study examines the relationship between corporate social performance and firm performance by using the samples of the data of 82 listed public utility corporations of the Shanghai or Shenzhen Stock Exchange from 2011 to 2014. Based on stakeholder theory, this paper examines the relationships between corporate social performance and financial performance from the point view of shareholders, government, customers and creditors. The results show that government and shareholders have positive effects on financial performance, but the customers and creditors have negative effects on financial performance for listed public utility corporation.
