This study aims to examine the impacts of internal and external corporate social responsibility (CSR) on managers' pro-environmental behaviors with the mediating role of green reputation and moderating of chief sustainability officer (CSO). We acquired information from 609 managers working in various Chinese manufacturing firms using a standardized survey tool. Structural equation modelling (SEM) was performed to analyze data. Our major findings are as follows. First, both internal and external CSR influence the pro-environmental behaviors of managers through the mediation role of corporate green reputation. Second, the CSO significantly moderates the relationship between CSR actions and corporate green reputation. Our study contributes to the body of current knowledge by giving empirical evidence for the theoretical framework linking CSR, reputation, and pro-environmental behavior. The findings from this study offer managerial insights for businesses that deliberately want to promote environmentally friendly activities.
本研究旨在探讨内部和外部企业社会责任（CSR）对管理者环保行为的影响，其中绿色声誉起中介作用，首席可持续发展官（CSO）起调节作用。我们采用标准化调查工具，从中国各制造企业的 609 位管理者那里获取信息。采用结构方程模型（SEM）对数据进行分析。我们的主要发现如下：第一，内部和外部 CSR 通过企业绿色声誉的中介作用影响管理者的环保行为。第二，CSO 显著调节 CSR 行为与企业绿色声誉之间的关系。本研究通过为连接 CSR、声誉和环保行为的理论框架提供实证证据，为现有知识体系做出了贡献。本研究的结果为有意促进环保活动的企业提供了管理上的启示。
