【内容提要】本研究基于 2008—2018 年中国私营企业调查数据，考察了企业社会资本对企业社会责任的影响。研究发现：第一，企业社会资本对企业社会责任具有显著正向作用；第二，企业拥有潜在性和动员性两类社会资本，就促进企业履责效应而言，后者显著强于前者；第三，企业社会资本的履责效应受市场理性约束，随着企业规模扩大，其正向作用减弱，但随着时间推进，其正向作用增强。本研究为理解民营企业社会责任行为提供了新的理论视角，为有效推进企业社会责任实践提供了经验启示。

Does Social Capital Promote Corporate Social Responsibility in China’s Private Sector? Evidence from the 2008 to 2018 China Private Enterprise Survey

Abstract: Using data from the 2008 to 2018 China Private Enterprise Survey, this article examines how corporate social capital influences corporate social responsibility（CSR) in China’s private sector. Social capital has a positive impact on CSR. Distinguishing between potential social capital and mobilized social capital, the analysis demonstrates that the CSR-enhancing effect of mobilized social capital is substantially stronger. Market rationality moderates this effect: the effect weakens as firm size increases but intensifies over time as China’s market institutions mature.By applying a social capital lens, this study proposes a new framework for understanding CSR in transitional economies and provides empirical insights into thepromotion of responsible business practices in China.
