“…Therefore, CSR is also considered as a construct of interest for policymakers and academicians, when it comes to enhancing EE ( Farooq and Salam, 2020 ; Hur et al., 2018 ; Jindo et al., 2020 ; Matthews, 2018 ; Real de Oliveira and Ferreira, 2014 ), OP ( Farooq and Salam, 2020 ; John et al., 2019 , 2017 ; Lea and Webley, 1997 , pp. 325–326; Shahzadi et al., 2019 ), OI ( Farooq and Salam, 2020 ; Ghosh, 2018 ; John et al., 2019 , 2017 ; Rosengren and Bondesson, 2017 ; Shahzadi et al., 2019 ), trust ( Ghosh, 2018 ; Lee et al., 2013 ; Shi et al., 2015 ; Yadav et al., 2018 ), citizenship behavior ( Bavik, 2019 ; Demir, 2015 ; Donia et al., 2016 ; John et al., 2019 ; Lam et al., 2016 ; Lin et al., 2010 ; Tufan and Wendt, 2019 ; Zhang et al., 2017 ) and DSIW ( Farooq and Salam, 2020 ; John, 2017 ; John et al., 2019 , 2017 ; Jun Hao, 2019 ; Morgeson et al., 2013 ; Shahzadi et al., 2019 ) at company level. Thus, we also propose that the implementation of CSR can inculcate expedient workmanship behavior in the form of EE, OP and OI at company level.…”
