Purpose This study aims to uncover the underlying multiple intervening mechanisms between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and customer loyalty. Social identity and social exchange theories offer the ground for prediction that the primary outcomes of CSR initiatives are customer–company (C–C) identification and customer trust, which in turn affect customer loyalty. Also, the differential effect of CSR behaviors toward specific stakeholder groups on customer attitudes and behaviors are examined. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected from 333 customers of telecommunication companies in Greece. Structural equation modeling was used to test the postulated relationships. Findings The findings demonstrate that both C–C identification and customer trust intervene in the relationship between customer perceptions of CSR and customer loyalty; however, the identification mechanism is stronger than the trust mechanism in building customer loyalty while C–C identification seems to drive customer trust. Moreover, out of the three CSR components (customers, employees, and society/environment) that were considered as relevant to customers and were investigated, customer-centric activities were found to be the stronger predictor of both C–C identification and customer trust. Also, CSR toward society/environment was found to positively influence C–C identification. Practical implications The findings of this research can assist practitioners in effectively conceptualizing CSR image from a customers’ point of view and designing their company’s CSR and communication strategies to boost positive customer responses and strong long-term relationships. Originality/value The current study provides further insights into the complex relationship between CSR and customer responses and the impact that different CSR activities may have on customers.

Customer loyalty has a noticeable impact on the long-term health of businesses. Hence, with the rise of consumers' awareness, corporate social responsibility (CSR) is essential in consumer behavior, specifically in attracting and retaining customers. This paper try to explore the link between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and customer loyalty based on a bibliometric analysis of 56 indexed articles between 2009 and 2020. First, the leading journals and countries in the field were identified. Subsequently, a citation analysis coupled with content analysis of the 16 most cited articles was performed. The challenge was to find out the clusters' divergence in a pinpointed topic. Accordingly, two main research streams were identified based on their mediating variables: (1) mediating effects related to consumer behavior; (2) mediating effects related to the brand. For future researchers, a future agenda was retrieved from the most influential and recent papers in the field to contribute to advancing the existing knowledge.
