    Board competences and CSR reporting : the moderating role of CEO power
    (Universidad de Murcia, Servicio de Publicaciones, 2022) Gallego-Álvarez, Isabel; Pucheta-Martínez, María-Consuelo
    Studies 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.

    What do we know about how companies manage waste? The effect of tenure and diversity of directors on disclosures
    (Wiley, 2026-02-17) García Sánchez, Isabel María; Aibar Guzmán, Beatriz; Marín-Hernández, Salvador; Ortiz-Martínez, Esther; Economía Financiera y Contabilidad; Facultades de la UMU::Facultad de Economía y Empresa
    This paper aims to analyze the effect of board tenure on firms' waste management disclosure and explore whether this effect is amplified by board gender and cultural diversity. The analysis is based on data from 832 large firms worldwide from 2011 to 2020. We draw on a multi-theoretical framework combining the Upper Echelons Theory (UET), Resource Dependence Theory (RDT), and the Resource-Based View (RBV) as our main theoretical underpinnings and complementing them with entrenchment theory, gender socialization theory (GST), and imprinting theory. The results indicate that board tenure positively affects waste management disclosure and that board diversity strengthens the direct impact of tenure on the waste information firms disclose to stakeholders. These results are robust to variations in methodological specifications. Additionally, the amplifying role of the health crisis triggered by the COVID pandemic is identified.
