Entrepreneurship is seen as an alternative to unemployment and poverty which could be the panacea for development (Bogan & Darity, 2008). Today, there is a growing perception among entrepreneurs that success cannot be achieved solely through maximizing short-term profits and the growing importance of corporate social responsibility (CSR) on business success and positive impact on society is accepted responsible for breakthrough innovations that influence the growth of free market economy and its general performance.This study aims to serve as an impetus for multidisciplinary research and further discussion on the entrepreneurial implications of CSR for sustainable development. Observing the positive social impact of entrepreneurs catering to basic needs, this study recognizes the important role in efficiently contributing to the achievement of sustainable development. Moreover, possible reasons of why entrepreneurs should be involved in sustainable development to reveal the motivations for sustainable development and underlying dimensions in decision making will be discussed. The study will provide a unique contribution to the literature as an example from a CSR-based perspective for the related field.

Organizational culture is one of the most important factors that provide sustainable success for an organization, which consists of performance and effectiveness of a company, the morale of its employees; and its ability to attract, motivate, and retain talented people. Organizational culture takes time to develop and change, as it is a tied system of artifacts, values, and underlying assumptions that's why it is important to examine behaviors that have a positive or negative effect on the organizational culture. This study empirically examines the relation between organizational citizenship behavior, organizational culture and organizational deviance. The proposed research model and associated hypotheses were tested based on data collected from 352 employees in the banking industry. The findings revealed that organizational behavior has a mediator role on the relationship between organizational culture and organizational deviance. The study also provides new insights to managers, leaders and policymakers about the importance of building a strong organizational culture through organizational citizenship behavior.
