“…Simpson and Kohers, 2002;Mackey et al, 2007;Obeidat, 2016). The premise behind this association can be attributed to the fact that firms have established relationships with different stakeholders who have different interests (Erhemjamts et al, 2013). These interests can be satisfied by building a comprehensive corporate strategy that takes into consideration the social implication to address and balance the competing interests of different stakeholders.…”

Direct relationship between Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and firm performance has been extensively studied by scholars in several majors. The direct examination of this relationship seems to be relatively imprecise since many other variables have indirect influence on this relationship. Therefore, this study takes into considerations Transformational Leadership (TFL) as a probable mediator in the role CSR plays to enhance the firm performanceamong Information Technology (IT) employees in banking sector. Data were collected from IT employees within IT departments from 25 banks in Jordan through a questionnaire survey. 354 valid questionnaires were returned and analyzed using different quantitative techniques. This research finds that CSR has a significant influence on firm performance and three of its dimensions, namely, economic responsibility, ethical responsibility, and discretionary responsibility have a significant effect on firm performance, whereas legal responsibility has no remarkable effect. It also finds that CSR has a positive influence on TFL. Specifically, discretionary responsibility has a significant effect on TFL, whereas other dimensions have no significant contribution to TFL. As well as, it finds that TFL has a positive contribution to the firm performance. Inspirational motivation and individualized consideration have the only remarkable contribution to the firm performance. Finally, it has been revealed that TFL partially mediates the relationship between CSR and firm performance.

“…The reason behind this positive association may be attributed to the fact that organizations have relationships with many groups including customers, employees, communities, etc other than shareholders alone, and all these stakeholders affect and are affected by the actions of the organization. By balancing and addressing the needs of different shareholders, organizations can become more efficient at responding and adapting to various stakeholder demands [90]. Furthermore, according to firm-ascontract analysis, high organizational performance results from both separate satisfaction of bilateral relationships and the simultaneous coordination and prioritization of multilateral stakeholder interests [88].…”

The aim of this research is to explore the relationship between corporate social responsibility, employee engagement, and organizational performance in Jordanian mobile telecommunication companies. A total of 350 questionnaires containing 37 items were used to collect information from the respondents. Multiple and simple regression analyses were conducted to test the research hypotheses. Results of the current study revealed that corporate social responsibility (both internal and external) and employee engagement (vigor, absorption, and dedication) have a significant positive relationship with organizational performance. Also, the results revealed that there is a significant positive relationship between corporate social responsibility (internal CSR and external CSR) and employee engagement. The Baron and Kenny mediation model and Sobel test were used to test whether employee engagement mediated the relationship between corporate social responsibility and organizational performance. The results showed that employee engagement fully mediated the relationship in a significant way. The results of the current study have many managerial implications for mobile telecommunication companies. In order to enhance organizational performance, decision makers must work on creating and maintaining an efficient corporate social responsibility agenda, which would increase employees' engagement in their work which will lead to improved performance outcomes.

“…For example, by netting the total score on concerns from the strengths' score, a firm with ten strengths and ten concerns across all categories is deemed to have a same level of social responsibility as a firm with one strength and one concern. Erhemjamts et al (2012) argue that this loss in heterogeneity can be mitigated by decomposing the ESG index into its strengths and concerns components. Table 1 presents descriptive statistics of these scores for the sample banks.…”

This paper analyzes corporate social responsibility (CSR) for banks and its impact on bank financial performance in a context of the recent financial crisis. The largest banks consistently have higher CSR strengths and CSR concerns during the sample period. However, this group sees a steep increase in CSR strengths and a steep drop in CSR concerns after 2009. Banks that are profitable, have higher capital ratios, charge lower fees to deposits, and with more female and minority directors have significantly higher CSR strengths scores. For banks with low involvement in low income communities, it is the smallest banks that show many significant relations between corporate social responsibility and bank characteristics. Yet, for banks with high involvement in low income communities, it is the largest banks that show many significant relations. Finally, we find that the largest banks appear to be rewarded for their social responsibility, as both industry adjusted ROA and ROE are positively and significantly related to CSR scores.
