AbstractIn essence firms or companies are usually thought to exist to make products for or provide services of some sort to third parties, other companies or individuals. The philosophical question which naturally arises then is ‘to the benefit of whom should a firm’s activities be aimed?’ Possible answers include the owners of the firm, the firm’s employees or wider society, the firm’s local community or their host nation. It is because of firms’ location within a wider society that the issue of corporate social responsibility arises. The issue is do they contribute in a positive way to the fabric of society. In this paper we conduct an exploratory investigation whose research questions, broadly, are whether there is public evidence of corporate social responsibility activity by firms listed in the UK and to what extent, if any, such activities may amount to genuinely socially responsible management by the firms. We examined the most up to date annual reports of a split sample of 36 firms listed in the FTSE 350. The short answers to the two research questions above are: to some degree and no by some margin, based on data from the sample firms.

Researchers have become increasingly interested in the strategic value of transparency in corporate social responsibility (CSR) communication in recent years. However, transparency research in CSR communication is still scarce. In particular, little research has examined whether the effects of transparency may depend on contextual factors, such as whether an organization is associated with a stigmatized industry. Grounded on legitimacy theory, this experiment examined the effect of CSR messages on supportive communication intent, purchase intent, and skepticism. Results reveal a main effect of transparency on purchase intent and a main effect of stigmatization on skepticism. Most importantly, there was an interaction, such that a higher level of transparency reduced skepticism when a more stigmatized industry was involved. The results contribute to further contextualizing transparency and CSR research.

Factors that promote customer loyalty are of great concern to the banking sector because loyalty predicts business success. The purpose of this study is to examine the mediation role of corporate social responsibility on the effect of brand awareness and corporate reputation on customer loyalty. Data was collected through a cross sectional survey from 405 bank customers. Research hypotheses were tested using the structural equation model. The findings show that corporate social responsibility partially mediates the effect of both brand awareness and corporate reputation on customer loyalty. The results indicate that corporate social responsibility plays a vital role within the banking sector as it mediates the effect of brand awareness and corporate reputation on customer loyalty. If banks engage in successful corporate social responsibility practices, brand awareness and corporate reputation are enhanced and this result in improved customer loyalty. By empirically examining corporate social responsibility as a mediator on the effect of brand awareness and corporate reputation on customer loyalty the study seeks to contribute to the scholarly conversation.
