Research Seminar
[Brown Bag] From Exposure to Action: How Gender Inequality Coverage Shapes Leadership and Corporate Responsibility by Prof. Jia (Jasmine) Hu, Tsinghua University
| Abstract: | Abstract: In this seminar, I present a working paper that examines how organizations respond to external scrutiny and reputational challenges in the public sphere. The study explores how firms translate social attention and legitimacy pressure into changes at the leadership level, and how these responses may shape broader patterns of organizational responsibility. Using a mixed-methods approach that combines large-scale firm data with experimental evidence, the paper sheds light on when reputational threats lead to substantive organizational change rather than symbolic adjustment, and how institutional context shapes these responses. |
