摘   要：

This study examines how political affinity influences the reputational penalties multinational corporations (MNCs) incur in their home countries for violating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards in host countries. Grounded in expectancy violations theory, we argue that stronger political affinity between home and host countries raises home stakeholders’ expectations for responsible corporate behavior abroad. Thus, when ESG violations occur in politically aligned host countries, home stakeholders respond with greater disappointment, leading to more severe reputational penalties. We also identify three key contingencies—violation severity, intentionality, and frequency—that amplify the impact of political affinity on reputational penalties by intensifying stakeholder disappointment. Analyzing a data set of 9,153 ESG incidents involving 547 U.S.-based MNCs, we find evidence largely supporting these claims.
