Abstract
Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has emerged as a strategic tool reflecting a competitive edge among firms. In addition, understanding CSR would be accomplished to a greater extent by exploring its micro-foundation. In this context, meta-analysis is carried out utilizing 54 empirical studies to explain the relationship between CEO characteristics and CSR practices. The present study uses a meta-analytical path model to observe the interaction effect among CEO characteristics and the meta-regression model to examine the moderation effect of firm characteristics. The bivariate meta-analysis and path analysis results revealed that CEO compensation, demographic, and personality constructs are consistent with the agency, upper echelon, and socio-cognitive theories, respectively. The findings also reflected the moderating effect of firm characteristics on the relationship between CEO characteristics and CSR. The findings will assist the policymakers in formulating CSR strategy, assuring the upliftment of CSR activities leading to the accomplishment of sustainable development goals (SDGs) 2030.
