KURUMSAL SOSYAL SORUMLULUĞUN FİRMA PERFORMANSINA ETKİSİ: TÜRKİYE ÖRNEĞİ

Bu çalışmanın amacı gelişmekte olan bir ülke konumundaki Türkiye’de, 2007-2015 yılları arasında BIST Kurumsal Yönetim Endeksi’nde işlem gören firmaların finansal performansları ile kurumsal sosyal sorumluluk düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkiyi analiz etmektir. Çalışmada, Türkiye’de yapılan diğer çalışmalardan farklı olarak dinamik bir metot olan Sistem Genelleştirilmiş Momentler Metodu (sistem GMM) kullanılmıştır. Çalışmada bağımlı değişken olarak muhasebe temelli ROA ve piyasa temelli Tobin’s Q olmak üzere iki oran, bağımsız değişken firmaların kurumsal sosyal sorumluluk notları kullanılmıştır. Ayrıca finansal kaldıraç ve firma büyüklüğü kullanılan araç değişkenlerdir. Analiz sonucunda, firmaların KSS düzeyleri ile iki performans göstergesi arasında da istatistiksel olarak pozitif ve anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
