基于CiteSpace的国内外企业社会责任缺失研究可视化对比分析

Visualization Analyses of Corporate Social Irresponsibility Researches at Home VS.Abroad Based on CiteSpace

企业社会责任缺失是一种并非非法但可能伤害到利益相关者而企业并没有采取必要措施给予纠正的行为,它普遍存在却往往被忽视。笔者运用CiteSpace对国内外企业社会责任缺失研究成果进行可视化对比,探讨该领域研究的热点演变规律及发展趋势,为进一步的深化与拓展研究提供有益的参考。研究结果显示:国内有关研究主题更注重利益相关者、食品安全、企业公民等,而国外的有关研究则更聚焦于所有者控制、惩罚性意图、劳资关系、公司绩效等社会责任缺失行为方面;关于未来的研究趋势问题,国内学者倾向于食品安全和财务绩效视角,而国外同行则更关注利益相关者理论、伦理、观点、治理、信息、跨国贸易等方面,二者都将利益相关者的反应及企业社会责任缺失的治理作为未来研究的重点。笔者认为:企业社会责任缺失研究应重视从利益相关者视角进行多元化探索,在管理实际中不能因为这种行为“并非非法”就放任自流,任其伤害利益相关者。

Corporate social irresponsibility(CSI)is a legal but harmful behavior which is common and often ignored by the enterprise and stakeholders.In this work the authors use CiteSpaceto visually compare existing literature of studies on CSI,and discuss the trend and development of frontier research in this field in order to provide useful reference for future research.The authors show that domestic researchers pay more attention to stakeholders,food safety,corporate citizens,etc.,while foreign researchers focus more on ownership control,punitive intent,laborrelations,corporate performance and other aspects of social irresponsibility behavior.On the issue of future research direction,domestic scholars tend to focus on the perspective from food safety and financial performance,while foreign researchers are more interested in the theory of stakeholder benefits,ethics,opinions,management,information,international trade and so on.Nevertheless,both regard the reaction of stakeholders and the governance of CSI as the center of interest of future research.In the authors'opinion,the study of CSI should focus on exploring diversification from the perspective of stakeholders.In practice,such behavior should not be allowed to harm stakeholders simply because it is“not illegal”.
