演講內容簡介：

The prevailing literature on political affinity and multinational corporations’ (MNCs’) global operation commonly views political affinity as a protective shield, suggesting that the closer the relationship between the two countries, the greater the protection for MNCs. This perspective, however, is usually limited to the context of MNCs operating under normal conditions. This posits that political affinity may act as a double-edged sword in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) misconduct. While political affinity can provide an “insurance-like effect” by mobilizing home-country stakeholders to shield MNCs overseas, it may simultaneously provoke a “domestic-like penalty,” diminishing their inclination to offer protection and amplifying the reputational penalties for the offending firm. We further propose that shared language and bilateral commercial ties reinforce the domestic-like effects, intensifying the negative side of political affinity on the firm’s reputation. On the contrary, an MNC’s past ESG performance helps maintain domestic stakeholders’ confidence in the firm, intensifying the positive side of political affinity on reputational penalties. Using a sample of 9,153 ESG-violating incidents by 547 U.S. firms in different countries, our study unveils fresh insights into the double-edged sword role of political affinity.

本研究探討了政治親和力如何影響跨國公司（MNCs）因在東道國違反環境、社會和治理（ESG）標準而在母國遭受的聲譽懲罰。基於期望違背理論，我們認為👨🏼‍🦳，母國與東道國之間的政治親和力越強👉🏼，母國利益相關者對公司在海外承擔社會責任的期望也越高。因此🎛，當ESG違規發生在政治上親密的東道國時，母國利益相關者會表現出更大的失望情緒，從而導致更嚴重的聲譽懲罰。我們還識別出三種關鍵情境因素——違規嚴重性、故意性和頻繁性——它們通過加劇利益相關者的失望程度來放大政治親和力對聲譽懲罰的影響。通過分析涉及547家總部設在美國的跨國公司和9,153個ESG事件的數據，我們發現實證結果在很大程度上支持了這些假設🧑🏽‍⚕️。
