Abstract

본 논문에서는 중국기업에서 여성이사가 기부금 지출에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위해 2004년에서 2019년도까지의 3,256 기업의 26,512 건의 관측 자료를 수집하여 불균형 패널분석을 실시하였다. 실증분석 결과, 중국 상장기업에서 여성이사 비중은 기부금 지출에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 본 실증결과는 이타적이고 높은 공동체적 의식을 갖는 여성이사가 기업의 자선활동으로서 기부금 지출을 증가시킨다는 논의를 지지하는 것으로 해석된다. 한편 이러한 여성이사와 기부금 지출 간의 정(+)의 관계는 국유기업에서는 유의미한 반면 민영기업에서는 유의하지 않아 중국기업에서 여성이사가 기부금 지출에 미치는 영향은 기업의 소유 유형에 따라 달라질 수 있음을 시사한다.Using 26,512 observations from 3,265 firms in Chinese listed during 2004 to 2019, the study examines the impact of female directors on corporate philanthropic giving, based on literature of cognitive psychology and gender socialization theory that women are more altruistic as well as communal than men, and upper echelon that that top managers’ value and attitude affect their decision making. The major findings as follow; First, there is a positive relationship between the ratio of female directors and the extent of corporate philanthropic giving in terms of the ratio of value of company donations to assets, suggesting that female directors promote socially responsible practices due to their benevolent as well as communal traits. Second, the positive relationship between the existences of female directors and the extent of corporate philanthropic giving are significant in state-owned firms while it is not in private-owned firms, implying that the the effects of female directors on corporate decision making may be restrained by the type of firm’s ownership.
