Figure 1
The model shows three text boxes arranged horizontally at the top and labeled from left to right as “Firm Characteristics”, “Board Characteristics”, and “C E O Characteristics”. At the left center, a text box labeled “Board Benevolence” is present. From “Firm Characteristics”, “Board Characteristics”, “C E O Characteristics”, and “Board Benevolence”, arrows extend rightward and point to an oval labeled “Corporate Environmental Performance”, positioned on the right. Below the arrow that arises from “Board Characteristics”, a text box labeled “C E O Benevolence” is shown. From “C E O Benevolence”, a dashed line connects diagonally to the arrow that extends from “Board Benevolence”.Conceptual model of the research. Source: Authors’ own work
