Includes bibliographical references

Since the late twentieth century, vibrant activism of civil society groups and non-governmental organizations has been proliferated against corporate misbehaviors such as environmental destruction, labor and human rights abuses, and corruption. The term Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has been popularized in business and academia, encouraging companies to participate in social and environmental activities. In addition to growing CSR involvement by firms, a number of global organizations have been established to guide, and arguably control, corporate social and environmental behaviors, which form global CSR governance. Although there is insufficient evidence to date of a positive relationship between CSR and long-term benefits, or of clear incentives or disincentives of participation in these organizations, increasingly multinational corporations (MNCs) have not only implemented various CSR activities but also participated in a number of global CSR organizations and adopting their rules.

520 $a Since the late twentieth century, vibrant activism of civil society groups and non-governmental organizations has been proliferated against corporate misbehaviors such as environmental destruction, labor and human rights abuses, and corruption. The term Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has been popularized in business and academia, encouraging companies to participate in social and environmental activities. In addition to growing CSR involvement by firms, a number of global organizations have been established to guide, and arguably control, corporate social and environmental behaviors, which form global CSR governance. Although there is insufficient evidence to date of a positive relationship between CSR and long-term benefits, or of clear incentives or disincentives of participation in these organizations, increasingly multinational corporations (MNCs) have not only implemented various CSR activities but also participated in a number of global CSR organizations and adopting their rules.
520 $a Why do presumably rational actors (firms) deliberately participate in CSR-motivated, collective action arrangements? Understanding shortcomings of dominant rationalist theories explaining this phenomenon, the research invokes alternative theories of neo-Gramsican, World Polity and Constructivism in order to unpack complex motivations of MNCs participating in global CSR governance. Through multi-level, multi-dimensional empirical analyses on rhetoric and behaviors of MNCs on CSR and global CSR governance, it pursues a more in-depth and detailed understanding of the phenomenon, expands the scope of CSR research, and offers methodological diversification and refinement. Through quantitative and qualitative research methods (multivariate logistic regression and content analysis), the research endeavors to examine various economic, political and social factors influencing corporate CSR rhetoric and behaviors, to reveal how arguably "profit-seeking" behaviors of corporations have interacted with these multiple factors, and to draw scholarly, political, and practical implications for theorists, policymakers, and businesses accordingly.
