  • Are CEOs With High Self‐Perceived Status More Likely to be Green Innovation Advocates? Evidence From Chinese Private Enterprises

    Open AccessXinyi Hua, Juelin Yin et al.ARTICLEBusiness Ethics, the Environment…2026

    Chief executive officer (CEO) status is increasingly recognized as a significant intrinsic factor in enterprises' strategic decisions. However, insufficient attention has been given to whether and how a CEO's self‐perceived status influences corporate green innovation. Drawing from the upper echelons theory, we examine the impact of a CEO's self‐perceived status on corporate green innovation. Using a unique dataset of 6478 Chinese private enterpr…

  • Can organizations get away with greenwashing? CSR attributions and counterproductive sustainability behaviors

    Open AccessIfzal Ahmad, Dima Jamali et al.ARTICLEBusiness Ethics, the Environment…2025

    Over the past couple of decades, research on the perks of corporate social responsibility has reported that it is a source of competitive advantage and can increase the bottom‐line performance of the organization. However, a somewhat small proportion of this research is focused on the ‘greenwash’ side, which posits that not all CSR would lead to positive impacts. By extending this line of research, the current study is aimed at investigating the …

    Open AccessRashid Zaman, Tanusree Jain et al.ARTICLEBusiness & Society2022

  • A novel framework to unearth corporate hypocrisy: Connotation, formation mechanism, manifestation, and contagion effect

    Open AccessJintao Lu, Chunyan Wang et al.ARTICLEBusiness Ethics, the Environment…2022

    Corporate hypocrisy refers to the phenomenon of inconsistency between words and deeds of a firm in the process of fulfilling its social responsibility. Despite the fact that the literature related to corporate hypocrisy has made some progress, there have been very few attempts to scrutinize the topic systematically. In the light of egoistic and altruistic motivations, and capitalizing on social network theory, this study classifies corporate hypo…

  • Beer Heterodoxies: A new section to trigger unorthodox voices and perspectives

    Open AccessDima Jamali, Stefan Marković et al.ARTICLEBusiness Ethics, the Environment…2022

    Academic journals in the fields of business and ethics often publish similar pieces of research, not only in terms of research paradigms and theories, but also with regard to methodology, structure and writing style. This generally translates into a routine of publishing incremental contributions, and drifts away from revelatory research that is likely to be bold and daring, and thus able to shift mainstream narratives, paradigms or mindsets (Cor…

  • Blame and culpability in explaining changes in perceptions of corporate social responsibility and credibility

    Open AccessNizar Souiden, Walid Chaouali et al.ARTICLEBusiness Ethics, the Environment…2022

  • Developmental and collegial peer‐reviews: A Beer roadmap

    Open AccessDima Jamali, Ralf Barkemeyer et al.ARTICLEBusiness Ethics, the Environment…2021

Many previous papers …
