Based upon the upper echelons perspective, this study examines how generalist and specialist CEO characteristics are manifested in firms CSR profiles and how franchising and internationalization strategies moderate this CEO-CSR relationship. Results from the panel analysis show that generalist CEOs of restaurant firms are more likely to engage in CSR activities that accommodate a wide range of stakeholders. In addition, franchising and internationalization strategies positively moderate the relationship between generalist CEOs and CSR actions, encompassing various stakeholder groups.
