Adam, A. A. & Shauki, E. (2014). Socially responsible investment in Malaysia: behavioral framework in evaluating investors' decision making process. Journal of Cleaner Production, 2(80), 224-24. doi:10.1016/j.jclepro.2014.05.075
Adam and Shauki (2014) presented the role of intention, attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, and moral norms in explaining the socially responsible investment (SRI) behavior of Malaysian investors. In their article, they describe SRI as a method of making investment decisions according to social, ethical, or environmental considerations within the context of rigorous financial analysis (2014). According to Adam and Shauki, (2014) investors' decision-making behavior concerning SRI is hypothetically influenced by intention, perceived behavioral control, and moral norms. However, in the context of SRI, the analysis of SRI in Malaysia differs compared to that of other countries (2014). With regards to SRI in Malaysia, behavior is significantly influenced by intention but not with perceived behavior control (2014). Instead, perceived behavior in this country was found to be independent of both behavior and intention (2014). The observation that intention alone was sufficient to predict behavior means that Malaysian investors do have complete control over their decisions on SRI due to the availability of both opportunities such as SRI funds or shares and resources such as information on SRI investing and risks (2014). Therefore, Malaysian investors’ willingness to invest, which is measured in some way by intention, most likely influences their decision making concerning SRI (2014). In addition, beliefs about risk and return outcomes influence the intention of Malaysian investors to invest in SRI instruments (2014). Beliefs related to feelings of control such as easy access to funds and an understanding of SRI trading do not constitute a major focus of the Malaysian investor’s decision making process where in real life an understanding of SRI trading should be key (2014). The outcome beliefs of the Malaysian investor are therefore probably formed through the influence of individuals who are especially versed in dealings with moral, social, and financial issues (2014). In summary, Adam and Shauki, (2014) underscore the finding that in terms of SRI in Malaysia, behavior is significantly influenced by intention but not perceived behavior control. The view of SRI in Malaysia is different compared to other countries (2014).

Wallis and Klein address the issue of socially responsible investing, which has gained popularity in the contemporary business environment. The aim of the article is to determine whether socially responsible investing makes any difference in terms of performance of an organization compared to conventional benchmarks. The authors argue that socially responsible investing does not increase the performance of the organizations. Wallis and Klein rely on the meta-analysis research design to pursue the purpose of their study. In other words, the authors make their discussion and conclusions using the findings reported by other scholars. Although there is no specific population that is targeted by the study, it is clear that the authors focus on difference between corporations that invest in social responsibility projects and those that do not. Their results show that socially responsible investment does not increase the performance of an organization. Instead, companies that invest in it perform equal to or less than the conventional firms. However, there are a few articles that indicate that an investment in the socially responsible projects makes some contribution to the financial performance of the companies. Wallis and Klein conclude the article by stating that companies are motivated by the desire to enhance their financial performance and ethical concerns when investing in the SRI projects. The reliance on the article published by other scholars to make the analysis and conclusions limits the ability of the authors to determine the quality of the data. However, the article is a credible source that will be used to advance an argument that investment in socially responsible projects helps companies demonstrate that they are ethical, but does not guarantee an increase in the financial performance.
