Universidad de Zaragoza National institutions, stakeholder engagement, and firms' environmental, social, and governance performance 2018 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted This paper studies the influence of different national institutions on corporate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance through the varieties of institutional systems approach. This research complements previous research that used traditional approaches such as the national business systems and the varieties of capitalism, because it considers companies in understudied economies in Asia, Africa, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Latin America. To that aim, a dataset of 4, 751 firms within 52 countries is examined through a multilevel model, which allows establishing three levels of analysis: (a) yearly observations of a firm ESG performance, (b) the companies, and (c) the countries. This technique is useful to address the nested nature of firms' ESG performance within higher level institutional contexts. The results identify which specific national institutions enhance/restrict companies' ESG performance. This provides interesting implications because firms' ESG represent most of the companies' contributions to environmental preservation, social well-being, and community development. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/ECO2016-74920-C2-1-R info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/UZ-IBERCAJA/268-239 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess All rights reserved http://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 5.513 2018 BUSINESS 18 / 147 = 0.122 2018 Q1 T1 MANAGEMENT 20 / 217 = 0.092 2018 Q1 T1 ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES 12 / 116 = 0.103 2018 Q1 T1 1.67 2018 Development 2018 Q1 Strategy and Management 2018 Q1 Management, Monitoring, Policy and Law 2018 Q1 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion Gallego-Álvarez, I.
