ABSTRACT: This paper studies the influence of female executives
on corporate charitable giving from the perspective of enterprise life cycle from
2011-2015. The research shows that: 1) Enterprises are in different life cycles,
and the level of corporate charitable giving is significantly different. 2) The
proportion of female executives in mature enterprises is positively correlated with
the level of corporate charitable giving. 3) If the CEO or chairman of a mature
enterprise is a woman, it will significantly improve the level of charitable donation
of the enterprise. This paper not only promotes the research of enterprise charity
donation motivation from the new perspective, but also has important practical significance
for how to better fulfill the social responsibility and promote the common development
of society.
