هدف
هدف این مطالعه بررسی نقش میانجی حاکمیت شرکتی (CG) در رابطه بین مسئولیت اجتماعی شرکت (CSR) و کیفیت پیش‌بینی تحلیلگر است.
طراحی/روش/رویکرد
نویسندگان سه سوال خاص را مطرح می کنند: آیا CG نقش واسطه ای در رابطه بین CSR و کیفیت پیش بینی تحلیلگر ایفا می کند؟ اگر چنین است، آیا چنین اثر واسطه‌ای CG برای شرکت‌هایی با حاکمیت ضعیف کاهش می‌یابد؟ آیا شرکت هایی با عملکرد CSR برتر کیفیت پیش بینی تحلیلگران بالاتری را از طریق اثر میانجی CG تجربه می کنند؟
یافته ها
نتایج حاضر نشان می دهد که CG به عنوان یک میانجی جزئی عمل می کند که تأثیر مثبت CSR را بر کیفیت پیش بینی تحلیلگر تسهیل می کند. با این حال، تجزیه و تحلیل های بیشتر نشان می دهد که در شرکت هایی با امتیاز حاکمیت پایین، CG اثر میانجی ندارد. در مقابل، نویسندگان دریافتند که شرکت‌هایی با عملکرد CSR برتر کیفیت پیش‌بینی بالاتری از طریق اثر میانجیگری CG دارند. نویسندگان همچنین دریافتند که اثر واسطه‌ای CG برای مؤلفه محیطی بیشتر از مؤلفه اجتماعی CSR است.
اصالت/ارزش
با بهترین دانش نویسندگان، این مطالعه اولین مطالعه ای است که نقش CG را به عنوان میانجی بین CSR و کیفیت پیش بینی تحلیلگر بررسی می کند و نشان می دهد که قدرت این اثر بسته به سطح CG شرکت و تعهد CSR متفاوت است.

Abstract
Purpose
This study aims to examine the mediating role played by corporate governance (CG) in the relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and analyst forecast quality.
Design/methodology/approach
The authors raise three specific questions: Does CG play a mediating role in the relationship between CSR and analyst forecast quality? If so, is such mediation effect of CG reduced for firms with weak governance? Do firms with superior CSR performance experience higher analyst forecast quality through the mediation effect of CG?
Findings
The present results suggest that CG serves as a partial mediator that facilitates CSR’s positive influence on analyst forecast quality. However, further analyses show that in firms with a low governance score, CG does not have a mediation effect. Conversely, the authors find that firms with superior CSR performance have higher forecast quality through the mediation effect of CG. The authors also find that the mediation effect of CG is more pronounced for the environmental component than for the social component of CSR
Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is the first to investigate the role of CG as a mediator between CSR and analyst forecast quality and to reveal that the strength of this effect varies depending on firms’ CG level and CSR commitment.
Introduction
Informative stock price in financial markets is essential to efficient resource allocation in an economy, and the analyst report is an important avenue to producing a more informed stock price that also leads to better stock performance in the long term (Brav and Lehavy, 2003; Fernandez et al., 2011; Asquith et al., 2005; Lennox and Park, 2006). Although corporate social responsibility (CSR) is becoming a significant part of corporate activity, the literature about the influence of CSR on analyst forecast quality offers largely mixed findings. Some studies find that socially responsible firms experience lower levels of conflict among stakeholders, which may reduce information asymmetry in prices and thus result in more accurate analyst forecasts (Al-Hadi et al., 2019; Becchetti et al., 2015). Other studies suggest that CSR can be used by management as a greenwashing strategy to manipulate legitimacy for obtaining societal acceptance (Jo and Harjoto, 2012; Orlitzky, 2013), which can lead to price distortion and potentially mislead analyst forecasts. In an attempt to reconcile these inconclusive findings, we incorporate the unique role of corporate governance (CG) as a mediator, aiming to investigate the mediation effect of firms’ CG on the relationship between CSR and analyst forecast quality
Conclusion
This study explored the relationship between CSR and analyst forecast quality and examined the mediation effect of CG. Our results reveal that CG acts as a partial mediator affecting the relationship between CSR and analyst forecast quality, and the mediating role of CG is muted in firms with low level of CG mechanism. Further, our results show that for firms committing to excess CSR, CG also plays a partial mediating role in facilitating CSR’s positive influence on forecast quality.
This study offers two incremental contributions. First, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study to explicitly investigate the role of CG as a mediator between CSR and analyst quality. Second, after splitting CSR into expected CSR and excess CSR, we obtain results that support the signaling hypothesis, indicating that excess CSR engagement by some firms enhances analyst forecast quality through CG as a mediator. Overall, our findings add to extant literature on the nexus of CSR, CG and information asymmetry by providing strong evidence that CG complements CSR to enhance analyst forecast quality.
