Abstract

This study takes construction companies undertaking infrastructure construction as the research object and selects listed Chinese construction companies in Shanghai and Shenzhen A-share from 2010 to 2020 as the research sample, F test and Hausman test are used to determine the fixed-effect model form of unbalanced panel data to further analyze the impact of changes in the number of female executives in construction companies on corporate social responsibility (CSR). The empirical results show that when the number of female executives in construction companies is less than five, it does not positively affect CSR performance, while when the infrastructure corporate executive team has six or more female executives, which indicates that when the number of female executives reaches a certain threshold, it significantly improves CSR performance. In conclusion, the research results of this study support the critical mass theory, and by exploring the number of female executives in the construction industry, the gender diversity of the executive team in the construction industry has a positive impact on CSR performance, which promotes gender balance is conducive to improving the quality of social responsibility.
