Abstract

This study explored the impact of CEO overconfidence on corporate social responsibility (CSR). We found that overconfident CEOs do not like to engage in CSR actives. Moreover, a firm with better CSR performance and overconfident CEOs could increase the probability of agency problems. This implied that overconfident CEO is engaged in CSR based on self-interest motivation to reduce operating performance of the firm.
