Abstract
From the perspective of behavioral finance, this paper takes China's A-share listed companies from 2013 to 2021 as the research object to explore the impact of the psychological trait of managers' overconfidence on the ESG performance of enterprises, and explores the improvement path of ESG performance from the perspective of corporate internal governance. It is found that there is a significant negative correlation between manager overconfidence and enterprise ESG performance, but internal control can effectively play the role of internal governance and significantly promote the improvement of enterprise ESG performance, and play a negative moderating role in the relationship between manager overconfidence and enterprise ESG performance. This paper enriches and expands the relevant research on the economic consequences of managers' overconfidence and the drivers of firm ESG performance, which has important theoretical significance.
