Abstract

The goal of this paper is to explore how stewardship commitment is stimulated from the ambivalent individuals’ motivational intentions through corporate governance practices and structures, drawing on a qualitative meta-analysis. Our findings indicate that stewardship commitment develops from processes of alignment, deliberation, and direction embedded within trust-based and control-based governance structures through practices of directive-, facilitating-, and participation work. We contribute to opening up the ‘black box’ of actual stewardship commitment and offer insights into how and why individuals may serve corporations as stewards by proposing a behavioral model on stewardship governance.
