摘要
The current research on the slack-performance relationship pays attention mainly to a set of overlapping slack natures, such as being sticky or absorbed, without sufficient consideration of variables related to the internal structure of a given organization. We posit that this weakness may prevent us from further understanding how different slack resources (the slacks) influence firms' corporate socially responsible performance (CSR). Combining the resource-based view of the firm with a perspective of international integration, we propose a new model explaining how structural-related variables may interact with the slacks and influence firms' CSR. Analyzing data from publicly listed US firms (2002-2012), we obtain evidence supporting the importance of organizational integration structure for understanding the slack-performance relationship.
