Abstract

Stakeholder theory has hitherto paid little attention to long-lasting social effects of investors, observing that they can exit the firm quickly by selling their shares. Challenging this conventional view, we argue that social investors can influence stakeholder orientation (or organizational identity orientation). Integrating recent work on organizational identity malleability with emerging research on investors' prosocial motives, we develop a multilevel model of how social investors, being internal and volatile actors, can use internal and external levers (including threat to exit) to shape stakeholder orientation. We discuss implications for stakeholder theory, sustainability area and social investing—a growing organizational phenomenon.
