摘要：
According to previous research, family and non-family businesses differ with respect to corporate social responsibility (CSR) policies in Japan. In this article, we address these differences and explore the main determinants of CSR in Japan, using a sample of 200 Japanese firms drawn randomly from a CSR database. In contrast with this previous research, we find that the characteristics of either family or non-family businesses do not influence CSR policies in general; however, when they do (for example, in human resources management), the influence is less strong for family businesses. We also find that firm size and innovation inclination are explanatory factors for CSR, supporting prior research in contexts other than Japan.
