Abstract (2. Language): 
Purpose: This paper aims to analyse in depth the determinants of disclosure of corporate social activities. In particular, it is focused on a barely considered factor: ownership structure. Design/methodology/approach: Using a sample of Spanish listed companies in 2008 we employed a OLS model to analyse how the identity of the largest shareholder as well as other firm characteristics may influence the disclosure of social activities. Findings and Originality: Contrary to our expectations, the findings suggest that the identity of the main shareholder does not affect the disclosure of social activities. On the contrary, firm size, leverage and general level of disclosure seem to explain the information provided by the firms related to their social activities. Research Limitations/implications: Our results should be considered with caution because we have used a specific measure of disclosure of social activities and our study is carried out in a specific country and period of time. Originality/value: A reduced number of studies have analysed the influence of firm ownership structure on the disclosure of social activities, and the existing studies have mainly considered the ownership concentration but not the identity of the largest shareholder.
Abstract (Original Language): 
Objeto: Este trabajo pretende profundizar en los determinantes de la divulgación de información sobre las acciones sociales que las empresas realizan. En particular, se centra en el papel que puede jugar un factor apenas considerado hasta el momento como es la estructura de propiedad. Diseño/metodología: Con el objetivo anterior, a partir de una muestra de empresas españolas cotizadas en el año 2008 hemos realizado un análisis de regresión lineal para analizar cómo la identidad del principal accionista de la empresa así como otras características empresariales afectan a la transparencia en RSC. Aportaciones y resultados: En contra de lo esperado, los resultados sugieren que la identidad del principal accionista no afecta a la transparencia informativa en RSC. Por el contrario, son otras características, como el tamaño de la empresa, su nivel de endeudamiento así como su nivel de transparencia en general, las que parecen explicar la transparencia sobre acciones socialmente responsables. Limitaciones: La existencia de otros indicadores de transparencia en RSC así como el haber realizado el estudio en un único país y en un momento temporal concreto, hace necesario ser cautos sobre los hallazgos obtenidos. Valor añadido: Un número reducido de estudios ha analizado la influencia de la estructura de propiedad en la transparencia en RSC, y además, de los pocos trabajos existentes, la mayoría se han centrado en el grado de concentración de la propiedad y no han tenido en cuenta la identidad o tipología del primer accionista.
