  abstract: This dissertation explores why some large company CEOs elect to serve in nonprofit organizations. While public expectations regarding large companies contributing to solving social issues have recently increased, CEOs are generally under heavy job demands, and their boards expect them to concentrate on business-related activities that promise to produce higher performance. Based on the data of CEOs in US large publicly-traded, for-profit firms from 2001 to 2020, my dissertation examines the antecedents of CEOs⁰́₉ formal association with nonprofit organizations (typically CEO outside directorships on nonprofit boards). Drawing on the volunteerism literature, I develop theory to predict that the antecedents of CEOs⁰́₉ formal association with nonprofits include individual, situational, and environmental factors along with value and discretion dimensions.

CEOs having longer tenures (discretion) are more likely to serve in nonprofits because longer-tenured CEOs tend to have more managerial discretion in their organizations.
