- PublicationOpen AccessBoard competences and CSR reporting : the moderating role of CEO power(Universidad de Murcia, Servicio de Publicaciones, 2022) Gallego-Álvarez, Isabel; Pucheta-Martínez, María-ConsueloStudies addressing the impact of board capabilities on CSR reporting are scarce. The aim of this research is to provide further evidence of the impact that certain board capabilities, such as board specific skills, board tenure and board cultural diversity have on CSR disclosure. Additionally, the moderating impact of CEO power on the association between these three board competences and CSR reporting is examined. The paper draws on resource dependence theory and agency theory, which are highly relevant in analysing how board competence influences CSR disclosure. The findings show that board specific skills, board tenure and board cultural diversity have a positive effect on the disclosure of CSR information. Moreover, our evidence also shows that CEOs with greater power can negatively moderate the positive effect of the three board competences considered on CSR reporting.
