Competitive Advantage as Role Moderation Between System-Driven Performance and Economic Performance

This paper aims to determine the relationship between environmental performance, corporate image, corporate social performance on economic performance by including competitive advantage as a moderator, as well as to describe why and how it is important to carry out corporate care for the environment by companies. This study also aims to expand the topic of discussion by including more variables related to aspects that affect company performance. The population of this study includes all manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in the 2014-2018 Period. The sampling technique used the purposive sampling technique. Based on predetermined criteria obtained 11 companies. The type of data used is secondary data obtained from the Indonesia Stock Exchange website. The analytical method used is panel data logistic regression analysis. This paper provides an empirical view of how environmental factors greatly affect the company's performance. This shows that the increase in good company performance generally comes from companies that pay attention to corporate social responsibility, so that they can have an advantage in competition in the market. Based on the research approach method used, this is a weakness of this study because this research cannot be generalized. It is hoped that future researchers will be able to explore the proportions of other variables that can be used in further research. These results support the legitimacy theory; one of the arguments (O’Donovan 2002) states that in the view of legitimacy, the relationship between profitability and the level of social performance is when the company has a high level of profit, the company considers it unnecessary to report things that can interfere with information. Consumers who are increasingly aware of environmental issues will look for environmentally friendly products. As a follow-up impact, the company will look for suppliers who can solve ecological problems; this will affect increasing the selling power of products or services and can improve the company's economic performance. This paper fulfills the identified need to study how environmental performance supports business excellence thereby improving company performance

Relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and social performance in Spanish sports clubs. The effect of the type of funding and the level of competition

The entrepreneurial orientation and social role of sports clubs have recently become topics of great interest to academics and professionals. The aim of this study is to analyse the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation (EO) in sports clubs and their social performance (SP) and the effect that management variables such as the type of funding (public vs private) and the competition level (national vs regional) may have on this relationship. To compare the results, two complementary methodologies have been used to compare the results: linear models with moderation analysis and models based on qualitative comparative analysis (QCA). The study was carried out with a sample of 407 Spanish sports clubs. The instrument used to measure EO was an adaptation of the original Covin and Slevin (1989) approach, while the instrument used to measure SP is a validated scale of our own elaboration presenting good psychometric properties. The results found show a direct effect of the EO dimensions on the SP. In all cases, clubs with major public funding showed higher levels of prediction in SP. On the other hand, as far as QCA is concerned, no necessary condition was found, while the most important condition sufficient to obtain high levels of SP would be high levels of innovation, a high level of risk-taking, and low levels of proactivity in national sports clubs. In general, models based on qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) provide higher predictive values than linear regression models and include variables not considered in linear models.

Sharia supervisory board and social performance of Indonesian Islamic banks

This study aims to examine the effect of Sharia Supervisory Board (SSB) characteristics on the level of social performance in Islamic banks in Indonesia. Social function becomes a special feature of Islamic banks that differentiates them from conventional banks. SSB characteristics consist of size, number of meeting, educational qualification, reputation, and cross-membership of SSB members. The data is taken from annual report of Islamic banks in Indonesia for the year 2010-2014 and processed by panel data regression using eviews. The results show that size and reputation of SSB members have significant effect on the social performance while the meeting, educational qualification, and cross membership of SSB members do not have effect on the social performance. The finding also shows that social performance of IBs in Indonesia is relatively high. This study has contribution on the measurement of social performance of Islamic banks and understanding the influence of SSB characteristic on social performance of IBs in Indonesia.

Do Non-socially Responsible Companies Achieve Legitimacy Through Socially Responsible Actions? The Mediating Effect of Innovation

This study investigates the effects on organization’s financial performances of, first, the extent to which the organizations are involved in controversial business activities, and second, their level of social performance. These companies can be considered non-socially responsible given the harmful nature of the activities they are involved in. Managers of these companies may still have incentives to pursue socially responsible actions if they believe that engaging on those actions will help them to achieve legitimacy and improve investors’ perception about them. We develop a comprehensive methodology to investigate these corporate social performance (CSP)-related effects in a complex but specific setting. To this end, we analyze a sample of 202 US firms for the period 2005–2008 using a novel method in this area: partial least squares. Our results indicate that, contrary to the general findings in prior literature, companies involved in controversial business activities which engage in CSP do not directly reduce the negative perception that stakeholders have about them. Instead, we found evidence of a positive mediation effect of CSP on financial market-based performance through innovation.

Psychiatric symptoms, social disablement and illness behaviour.

In this paper we investigate the relationship between social performance and the use of medical services, and to what extent this is independent of clinical disorder. In a sample of adults living in Camberwell, South London, social disability and clinical disorder were both predictive of service use. Those subjects who were admitted to psychiatric day-patient or inpatient facilities were found to show the highest levels of both types of impairment, followed by psychiatric outpatients. People who had seen their general practitioner because of their 'nerves' were less impaired than those in touch with the specialist psychiatric services but had significantly poorer social performance and a higher level of clinical disorder than people not in contact with medical services at all. When the severity of clinical disorder was controlled, however, levels of social performance no longer discriminated between the different groups of service users, except that psychiatric outpatients remained significantly more socially disabled than the general practice group.

Treatment outcome in an urban and a rural day hospital

Thirty-six urban and 44 rural psychiatric day hospital patients were evaluated at the time of their admission to treatment and just prior to release. Thirty-three of the former and 40 of the latter (91% of the treatment sample) were assessed after two and 12 months of fulltime life in the community. At time of release, symptomatic improvement was greater in urban than in rural patients. This advantage had all but disappeared at the two-month follow-up evaluation and was entirely absent one year after patients' release. At that time, symptomatology in the two groups, as rated by clinicians, was virtually identical; objective criteria placed urban and rural patients at approximately the same level of social performance. Relatives, however, saw urban patients as less socially competent, more negativistic, more helpless, and more withdrawn than rural patients.
