  • Corporate Social Responsibility

    Open AccessAbagail McwilliamsCHAPTERWiley Encyclopedia of Management2015

    Actions of firms that contribute to social welfare, beyond what is required for profit maximization, are classified as Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). The acceptance of CSR by business scholars and practitioners has a spotted history. While scholars debated the legitimacy of CSR, consumers and investors developed clear preferences for socially responsible firms. Big corporations, in large part, responded positively, making CSR an important…

  • Corporate Social Responsibility: Strategic Implications

    Open AccessAbagail Mcwilliams, Donald S Siegel et al.ARTICLEJournal of Management Studies2006

    We describe a variety of perspectives on corporate social responsibility (CSR), which we use to develop a framework for consideration of the strategic implications of CSR. Based on this framework, we propose an agenda for additional theoretical and empirical research on CSR. We then review the papers in this special issue and relate them to the proposed agenda.

    Open AccessKristen Keith, Abagail McwilliamsARTICLEIndustrial and Labor Relations…1999Cited by: 31References: 34

    Using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, the authors estimate the returns to job search, mobility, and the interaction of search and mobility for young men and women. They find statistically significant gender differences in mobility patterns and search behavior, but not in the returns to a given behavior. Both men and women engaged in substantial job search and mobility early in their careers, which resulted in wage growth prem…

  • The Wage Effects of Cumulative Job Mobility

    Open AccessKristen Keith, Abagail McwilliamsARTICLEIndustrial and Labor Relations…1995Cited by: 13References: 30

    This analysis of data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth shows that cumulative job mobility had statistically significant effects on wages in the years 1979-88. The direction of the wage effects (positive or negative) and their magnitude varied depending on the type of cumulative mobility examined: employee-initiated versus employer-initiated separations, economic versus family-related quits, layoffs versus discharges. The results als…
