Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) remains a hot topic in management. Yet, little is known about how well managers, employees and consumers are responding to CSR initiatives to align with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Underpinned by well-established theories, this study develops a single integrative model of managers’, employees’ and consumers’ CSR. Data were collected from the LUX* group of resorts and hotels located on three Indian Ocean islands: Mauritius, Reunion and the Maldives. Structural equation modelling was employed. Findings reveal: (1) organizational CSR is positively related to employee social responsibility; (2) organizational CSR is negatively associated with customer social responsibility; (3) employee social responsibility is negatively related to customer social responsibility; (4) employee social responsibility is negatively related to customer delight; (5) customer social responsibility is positively related to customer satisfaction; and (6); customer social responsibility is positively related to customer delight. Strategic CSR initiatives with a multi-stakeholder engagement approach are discussed.

Purpose: This study interrogates the extent of implementation of economic and philanthropic dimensions of the Islamic Corporate Social Responsibility (ICSR) concept by Shar¯ı‘ah based cooperative societies with the primary purpose of ascertaining its effect on members’ rate of patronage of non-interest cooperative societies in Nigeria. Methodology: Partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLSSEM) with bootstrap processes were used to analyse the data collected from 210 members of the selected non-interest cooperative societies operating in the North-central region of Nigeria. Findings: The study’s results revealed that h. al¯al products and h.al¯al investments positively affect the members’ patronage rate of non-interest cooperative societies. In addition, it was discovered that Islamic philanthropic responsibility influenced the image/reputations of non-interest cooperative societies. Significance: This study is among the few studies that have examined the effect of corporate social responsibility on members’ patronage from an Islamic perspective. The import of the study stems from the fact that it broadly investigated the extent of implementation out of the six dimensions of corporate social responsibility. Limitations: The main constraints of the study are predicated on the fact that it was conducted in a region of the country and the study’s inability to isolate other factors which might have contributed to members’ patronage of non-interest cooperative societies. Implications: The study’s findings can aid the management of noninterest cooperative societies and other similar institutions in formulating strategic policies and programmes geared towards operating and promoting h.al¯al investment opportunities and supporting the indigent members of the communities through corporate charities/donations.

This paper aims to show that the strategic incorporation of socially responsible actions, in small and medium enterprises contribute to improving the competitiveness of those organizations. The analysis is from a multi-stakeholder perspective. It investigates the link among firms’ relationship with key stakeholders with the objective to find out if there is a competitive advantage in applying Corporate Social Responsibilities practices. Besides the direct influence of Corporate Social Responsibility practices on competitive performance, the mediating connection of relationship improvements has been analyzed. By using their influence, stakeholders hold the key to the environment in which the organization operates and its subsequent financial performance. The empirical analysis was constructed on survey data through structural equation modeling (SEM). To accomplish this assignment data were collected from a sample of Brazilian SMEs. Participants were firms from the Southern region of Brazil mainly from the State of Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina, and Parana. The outcome shows that there is a strong connection between the development of Social Responsibilities practices and relational improvements. In addition, the significant relationship in developing Social Responsibilities Practices positively translates, with a high accuracy outcome into competitive performances.

Abstract Corporate social responsibility (CSR) plays an important role in promoting workplace ethics. However, most research has focused on CSRs’ performance or favourable performance-related behaviour outcomes. Little is known about how individual employees perceive CSR and how this affects their ethical behaviour. This research examines how employees' perceived corporate social responsibility (PCSR) facilitates their ethical behaviour. Specifically, we hypothesise that PCSR influences employee ethical behaviour by enhancing employees' organisational commitment. The relationship between employees' commitment and ethical behaviour is contingent on their co-workers' ethical behaviour. The hypothesised relationships were assessed using partial least squares structural equation modelling with a sample of 300 employees from ‘The Ghana Club 100’ firms. Our findings suggest that employee commitment serves as an effective mechanism through which employees' perception enhances their ethical behaviour. The findings also show that the weaker the co-workers' ethical behaviour, the stronger the relationship between employee commitment and ethical behaviour. Both theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has been the subject of extensive research, especially during the past two decades; however, few academic studies investigated the relationship between CSR and employee behaviour. This study reduces this gap by identifying the degree of association between CSR and the proenvironmental behaviour (PEB) of workers. These concepts were analysed among companies that are recognised as being socially responsible and others that are not; not enough empirical evidence was found to determine if these are positively affecting employee PEB in the Mexican context. The methodology was quantitative through questionnaires addressed to workers from renowned companies in Mexico, and analysed by using structural equation modelling (SEM) in AMOS software. Results showed that the CSR practices of the companies with a badge and the PEB of their workers are poorly related. The average of compliance with global CSR practices for companies that have a badge is less than or equal to that of those that do not. Conclusions indicate that CSR could occur only in declarative terms from the workers’ perception.

This study was conducted to assess students' perceptions of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and the impacts of those perceptions on their thinking and behavior. Structural equation modelling (SEM) was used to examine the proposed correlations by analysing the data collected from 787 students at Nong Lam University. Results showed that there were positive correlations from relatives, social activity participation, demographics, and self-perception of students’ perception of CSR. Besides, we also found that perception would positively affect students’ thinking and behavior.

The approach to corporate social responsibility (CSR) has changed through years from the philanthropy to the self-regulatory and to the present multi-stakeholder approach. In India, the CSR mandate has been looked and projected as a game changer and is expected to revolutionise CSR beyond the lens of defensive CSR, promotional CSR and charitable CSR to the next-level paradigm of strategic CSR. It is in this context an attempt has been made to discuss the CSR approach of public- and private-sector companies in India. The article makes an analysis of the CSR vision and mission statements, expenditure, areas of interventions and initiatives, CSR policy framework and reporting among public and private companies in India. The article is based on the secondary data for a period of four years (2011–2015) and gives a representative view of the companies making difference to the Indian society at large. The article intends to answer whether revolutionising CSR as a mandate is an attempt in the right direction.
