This paper considers contemporary World Wrestling Entertainment’s new racial politics in the light of Hulk Hogan’s 2015 erasure from the Federation after a leaked racist sex tape rant, and the African-American wrestlers The New Day’s rise to fame during the same period. This paper locates WWE’s actions as responses in line with a domestic media marketplace where the rhetoric of racial diversity is fetishised. In doing so, this paper combines literature on corporate social responsibility, race, and the performativity of the self in contemporary celebrity culture. This paper reads World Wrestling Entertainment’s actions as strategies through which the Federation’s corporate social responsibility is spectacularly performed, allowing it to grow and survive in the streaming video era.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore implications of motivational potential that are highly correlated to the self-determination theory (SDT) (intrinsic motivating factors), in relation to corporate social responsibility (CSR). This paper specifies key antecedents of engagement within the theoretical framework of the self-determination theory as it relates to employee engagement and CSR. Design/methodology/approach – The methods used for the purpose of this paper include a review of the relevant literature utilizing the descriptors of employee engagement, SDT and CSR. Alternative descriptors were not queried. The authors then selected articles that were found to be most cited, reviewed such articles and began to analyze the literature, synthesize and formulate connections. Findings – Based on research findings, a conceptual model was formulated and posited for research and practice. It is demonstrated in the paper that employee engagement has a wide range of benefits for all involved and focuses on key antecedents of engagement created through CSR initiatives and intrinsic motivating factors as pointed out from SDT, which may serve to provide a comprehensive representation of the likely influences of intrinsic motivating drivers on employee engagement. Research limitations/implications – The main limitations of this paper is that it is conceptual in nature and, hence, the need for a study designed to empirically test the conceptual model developed in this research. Originality/value – The result and contribution to the field of human resource development is the development of the engagement continuum model from which employee engagement emerges through the dynamic interplay of CSR as an intervention, creating positive results using the theoretical framework of SDT and resulting in a perceived sustained state of employee engagement.

Purpose Based on the perspective of stakeholders, this paper aims to construct the corporate social responsibility (CSR) evaluation system, aiming at encouraging enterprises to actively undertake social responsibility, formulating targeted countermeasures to improve the performance level of social responsibility and realizing its sustainable development. Design/methodology/approach The study uses data from 2014 to 2018 of pharmaceutical companies in China to estimate the CSR system. Based on the analytic hierarchy process, the coefficient of variation uses to determine the weight of each index. Moreover, the cloud model uses for empirical evaluation. Findings The results reveal that social responsibility evaluation of pharmaceutical companies is poor to average to good and it maintains a good development trend. The order of the weight of corporate stakeholders is shareholders, employees, consumers, creditors, suppliers and government. The importance of internal stakeholders is higher than that of external stakeholders. The comprehensive cloud evaluation value of the social responsibility evaluation of pharmaceutical companies are “ordinary,” and the effect of comprehensive social responsibility performance is not good. Originality/value The current study not only considers the uncertainty of the concept of CSR but also reflects the connection between the randomness of pharmaceutical companies and the ambiguity of CSR. Moreover, this study develops a three-dimensional evaluation of “enterprise-year-indicator” by studying the data of multiple companies in different years. In terms of the modeling concept, the two-way cognition between the connotation and conceptual extension of the cloud model is fully used to realize the uncertainty mapping between the evaluation set and the indicator set.

ABSTRACT:Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has been hailed as a new means to address gender inequality, particularly by facilitating women’s empowerment. Women are frequently and forcefully positioned as saviours of economies or communities and proponents of sustainability. Using vignettes drawn from a CSR women’s empowerment programme in Ghana, this conceptual article explores unexpected programme outcomes enacted by women managers and farmers. It is argued that a feminist Foucauldian reading of power as relational and productive can help explain this since those involved are engaged in ongoing processes of resistance and self-making. This raises questions about the assumptions made about women and what is it that such CSR programmes aim to empower them ‘from’ or ‘to.’ Empowerment, when viewed as an ethic of care for the self, is better understood as a self-directed process, rather than a corporate-led strategy. This has implications for how we can imagine the achievement of gender equality through CSR.

Objectives: With the development of the times, Corporate managers often face decisions concerning the characteristics of corporate social responsibility (CSR), including handling employee relationships, product pricing and product quality. In the critical period of China’s fight against the COVID-19 epidemic, the economic development of enterprises is facing unprecedented challenges. In such a context, some enterprises might prioritize economic benefits in the development and ignore their CSRs. This individual phenomenon will not only restrict the growth of enterprises, but also exert an adverse effect on social development. The exploration of approaches for fulling CSR becomes particularly important under the background of the COVID-19 epidemic. Methods: This paper mainly uses AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process) to analyze.Results: Hence, this paper attempted to analyze social responsibilities that should be taken on by corporates under the COVID-19 epidemic. Moreover, a corporate social responsibility evaluation system was also established through analyzing the actual situation of some CSR deficiencies in the context of COVID-19 using the AHP method based on the understanding of the CSR concept in literature at home and abroad. In this way, approaches for fulfilling CSR under the COVID-19 epidemic were explored.Conclusions: A CSR evaluation index system is established under the COVID-19 epidemic, so as to force and drive enterprises to persist the enterprise’s voluntary fulfillment of CSR for a long time.

This article focuses primarily on how to operationalize corporate social responsibility—how to integrate it into the corporation's vocabulary, policies, stakeholder communications, and reporting systems. It argues that in order for an organization and its members to be able to experience an obligation to live up to their social responsibility, an organization must address the following three fundamental questions. The first question asks what responsibility is. The second asks whether organizations can be responsible or not. Finally, the third asks why should organizations be responsible. This article briefly addresses these inquiries. In particular, based on theoretical reasoning and empirical research in the form of interviews with leaders from six continents and fifteen countries, it is argued that true responsibility, both by leaders and their organizations, is grounded in a perspective on leadership—spiritual-based leadership—that transcends the (self-imposed) limitations of economic rationality.

The Impact

This study analyzes the impact of corporate social responsibility (CSR) fulfillment on corporate risk-taking to assist stakeholders in identifying the “double-edged sword” role of CSR activities and provide empirical evidence for enterprises to properly carry out CSR activities. The results show that the self-interest instrumentalization of CSR activities intensifies agency conflict, and CSR fulfillment weakens risk-taking to a certain extent. When CSR fulfillment reaches a certain value, CSR activities can improve risk-taking. Then, CSR fulfillment and risk-taking show a U-shaped relationship. Further analysis shows that the impacts of CSR on debt financing and R&D input reflect the U-shaped effect pathways of CSR fulfillment on risk-taking. Finally, it is suggested that CSR activities should be avoided to become the “self-interest tool” of the management. The regulators guide enterprises to break through the inflection point of the U-shaped effect and consider more for the stakeholders’ overall interests. Additionally, the regulators establish an effective compensation system to ensure that the enterprises with adequate CSR fulfillment obtain high-quality capital resources and promote the sustainable development of the capital market.
