Abstract

This study examines how governance structures and institutional dynamics influence corporate social responsibility (CSR) and social entrepreneurship disclosures within the context of Saudi Arabia, particularly under the Vision 2030 initiative. Using a sample of 108 non-financial Saudi companies with 324 annual reports, we applied Legitimacy Theory to explore how companies respond to social expectations and pressures in an emerging market. Our findings reveal that governance structures, particularly board characteristics and CEO financial education, significantly impact CSR disclosure and social entrepreneurship practices. The results suggest that aligning governance with CSR expectations fosters a more sustainable and socially responsive corporate landscape, especially in emerging markets like Saudi Arabia. These insights underscore the need for policies that support transparency and social engagement, driving responsible corporate behavior.
