Abstract

This study focused on the relationship between corporate social responsibility disclosure (CSRD) and the value of the company. It also examined how this relationship is affected by earnings management and corporate governance practices. The study includes 41 companies which constitute 85.4% of the companies listed on the Palestine Exchange (PEX) during the period (2012-2017). Data was obtained using content analysis and analysed using generalized least squares (GLS) regression. While a positive significant relationship was identified between CSRD and the value of the company, no significant effect of earnings management or corporate governance is observed on this relationship. The results showed that earnings management doesn’t significantly affect the level of CSRD or the company value. On the other hand, a positive effect of corporate governance on both the level of CSRD and the company value was reported. The study recommended that Palestinian companies should be more concerned about their social responsibility and its related disclosures. In addition, corporate governance practices of the Palestinian companies should be enhanced given its positive impact on the value of the company and on the level of CSRD. It is also beneficial to develop a local CSRD index to facilitate the evaluation of the Palestinian companies commitment to corporate social responsibility and its disclosure.

الملخص

ركزت هذه الدراسة على العلاقة بين الإفصاح عن المسؤولية الاجتماعية وقيمة الشركة، ومدى تأثر هذه العلاقة بكل من إدارة الأرباح وحوكمة الشركات، وذلك بالتطبيق على الشركات المدرجة في بورصة فلسطين خلال الفترة (2012-2017). حيث تكونت عينة الدراسة من 41 شركة، تمثل ما نسبته 85.4% من الشركات المدرجة في بورصة فلسطين. وقد تم استخدام أسلوب تحليل المحتوى لاستخراج البيانات المطلوبة من التقارير السنوية للشركات. كما تم استخدام تحليل الانحدار المتعدد بطريقة المربعات الصغرى المعممة. وقد توصلت الدراسة إلى وجود تأثير إيجابي معنوي للإفصاح عن المسؤولية الاجتماعية للشركات على قيمة الشركة. وبينت النتائج ان هذه العلاقة لا تتأثر بإدارة الأرباح ولا بممارسات الحوكمة التي تقوم بها الشركات الفلسطينية. أضف إلى ذلك انه في الوقت الذي تؤثر فيه حوكمة الشركات على كل من مستوى الإفصاح عن المسؤولية الاجتماعية وعلى قيمة الشركة كل على حدة، فان لا يوجد تأثير لإدارة الأرباح على أي منهما. أوصت الدراسة بضرورة أن تعمل الشركات الفلسطينية على زيادة الاهتمام بالمسؤولية الاجتماعية والإفصاح عنها. كما أوصت بتطوير مؤشر محلي خاص بالإفصاح عن المسؤولية الاجتماعية للشركات لإتاحة المجال لتقييم الشركات الفلسطينية والمقارنة فيما بينها من حيث الالتزام بالمسؤولية الاجتماعية والإفصاح عنها. إضافة إلى ذلك، فقد أوصت الدراسة بتعزيز الحوكمة في الشركات الفلسطينية لما لها من تأثير إيجابي على قيمة الشركة وكذلك على مستوى إفصاح الشركات عن مسؤوليتها الاجتماعية.
