Abstract: Based on the theory of group dynamics and synergy, this paper discusses the synergy effect of group dynamic situation between female directors and corporate social responsibility from the perspective of gender synergy and group coordination by using the data of Shanghai and Shenzhen A-share listed companies. The results show that the female chairman has a positive synergy effect in the influence of female directors on corporate social responsibility. Female executives have a significant positive impact on corporate social responsibility, but a negative synergy effect in the influence of female directors on corporate social responsibility. It shows that there is a complementary and substitutional relationship between female executives and female directors in their influence on corporate social responsibility. The characteristics of the board of directors have a significant impact on corporate social responsibility, but have no significant synergy effect in the influence of female directors on corporate social responsibility. The study suggests that compared with the demographic characteristics of the decision-making team, such as education background, age, term of office and so on, gender characteristics are more likely to have an effect on the role of female directors in the board decision-making process. It provides empirical evidence for the same sex social reproduction theory and social identity theory based on the gender.

摘要： 基于团体动力学和协同理论,采用沪深A股上市公司数据,从性别协同和团体协同视角,探讨了团体动力情境在女性董事影响企业社会责任的协同效应。研究结果表明:女性董事长在女性董事影响企业社会责任中有正向的协同作用;女性高管对企业社会责任存在显著的正向影响,但在女性董事影响企业社会责任中存在负向的协同作用,说明女性高管和女性董事对企业社会责任的治理作用存在一定的互补和替代关系;董事会团体特征对企业社会责任存在显著影响,但在女性董事影响企业社会责任中的协同作用不显著,研究显示与决策团队的学历、年龄、任期等人口统计学特征相比,性别特征更容易影响女性董事在董事会决策中作用的发挥,从而为同性社交繁殖理论和基于性别的社会认同理论提供了经验证据。
