Abstract

Prior research on the relationships of institutional ownership and corporate social responsibility
has focused on North American (U.S. and Canada) and European companies. With the passage
of Indonesian Law No. 40 in 2007, Indonesian companies are now obligated to conduct CSP.
As these companies objected to the passage of this law, awareness of how CSP may benefit
Indonesian companies in terms of its positive impact on institutional investors needs to be in-
vestigated. Thus, this paper examines the relationships of IO and CSP for Indonesian compa-
nies. Unfortunately, contrary to the results for North American and European companies, we
found no relationships between institutional ownership and corporate social responsibility for
Indonesian companies. This finding suggests that most institutional investors do not include
CSP as part of their investment decisions.

Keywords: Institutional ownership, Corporate social performance (CSP), corporate social
responsibility (CSR), Indonesian companies

Relationship between institutional ownership and social performance of Indonesian companies

  • 1. Issues in Social and Environmental Accounting Vol. 1, No. 2 December 2007 Pp 334-347 Institutional Ownership and Corporate Social Performance: Empirical Evidence from Indonesian Companies Hasan Fauzi Faculty of Economics Sebelas Maret University, Indonesia Lois Mahoney College of Business Eastern Michigan University, USA Azhar Abdul Rahman Faculty of Accountancy University Utara Malaysia, Malaysia Abstract Prior research on the relationships of institutional ownership and corporate social responsibility has focused on North American (U.S. and Canada) and European companies. With the passage of Indonesian Law No. 40 in 2007, Indonesian companies are now obligated to conduct CSP. As these companies objected to the passage of this law, awareness of how CSP may benefit Indonesian companies in terms of its positive impact on institutional investors needs to be in- vestigated. Thus, this paper examines the relationships of IO and CSP for Indonesian compa- nies. Unfortunately, contrary to the results for North American and European companies, we found no relationships between institutional ownership and corporate social responsibility for Indonesian companies. This finding suggests that most institutional investors do not include CSP as part of their investment decisions. Keywords: Institutional ownership, Corporate social performance (CSP), corporate social responsibility (CSR), Indonesian companies Hasan Fauzi is Director of Indonesian Center for Social and Environmental Accounting Research and Development (ICSEARD) at Faculty of Economics of Sebelas Maret University, email: hfauzi2003@indo.net.id.
