Abstract: While extending the scarce literature on determinants of corporate social responsibility (CSR) decoupling, we examine the impact of CEO power on CSR decoupling. Using panel data of US firms for 2002–2017, we find that CEO power increases CSR decoupling. Our results remain consistent after controlling for the endogeneity problem. Aligned with the managerial power theory, our results suggest that firms with powerful CEOs are more likely to manage CSR performance through decoupling.
