“…With mature employee-dimensional social responsibility, potential benefits transform into tangible outcomes. On the one hand, an organisation can form a good reputation to enhance its attractiveness to potential employees [ 61 ]. On the other hand, the potential benefits of employee-dimensional social responsibility fulfilment, such as the improvement of employees’ work literacy and potential, need to be accumulated for a period of time to be transformed into employees’ comprehensive abilities.…”

Social responsibility fulfilment is an important part of the operation management (OM) and competitiveness of the construction industry (CIC). This study investigates the mechanisms through which social responsibility fulfilment in the construction industry affects industry competitiveness and the mediating role of industry operations management. From the intra-organizational stakeholder perspective, social responsibility fulfilment (SR) is divided into two dimensions: shareholder-dimensional (SH) and employee-dimensional social responsibility fulfilment (EM). By analysing a panel of the construction industry in 12 provinces of China from 2015 to 2020, an inverted U-shaped relationship between social responsibility fulfilment and construction industry competitiveness and between shareholder-dimensional social responsibility fulfilment and construction industry competitiveness was found, while a U-shaped relationship between employee-dimensional social responsibility fulfilment and construction industry competitiveness was found. Furthermore, social responsibility fulfilment and shareholder-dimensional social responsibility fulfilment had significant effects on operation management. Additionally, the study concludes that operation management is positively related to construction industry competitiveness and plays a partially mediating role between social responsibility fulfilment and construction industry competitiveness. The findings enrich the theoretical basis of the relationship between social responsibility fulfilment and competitiveness and demonstrates important management significance for the construction industry in managing its social responsibility behaviour and improving industry competitiveness, thus promoting high-quality development of the construction industry.

“…While more conceptually nascent than product or employment brands, the CSR brand has also been found to increase employer attractiveness (Carlini et al , 2019; Jakob et al , 2022; Jones et al , 2014; Wang and Chen, 2022). Denoting an organization’s socially responsible values and morals, CSR brands indicate an organization’s overall concern for treatment of others, and how that will be extended to its employees.…”

Purpose This study aims to examine the relative effects of three organizational brand types (product, employment and corporate social responsibility brands) on organizational attractiveness. The potential differences in the impacts exerted by each brand on organizational attractiveness between the US and Chinese job seekers are also examined. Design/methodology/approach A policy-capturing design was used among both US and Chinese participants to test the hypothesized relationships using multilevel modeling. Findings Results suggest that each brand type independently contributes to the prediction of attractiveness, with the employment brand a significantly stronger predictor than the other two. Besides, the strength of relationships between brands and organizational attractiveness varies among job seekers from different national contexts. Originality/value The findings contribute to the limited understanding of how different types of brands together influence organizational attractiveness among job seekers, and the role national context plays in it.

Recruitment success or failure hinges on organizational reputation (OR), encompassing both internal and external perceptions, as well as corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities. While existing literature underscores the direct positive impact of formalized CSR on OR and organizational attractiveness (OA), it remains unclear whether personal perceptions of CSR consistency with organizational behavior influence the OR–OA relationship. This study aims to bridge this gap by examining the interplay of CSR in the relationship between OR and OA. Employing a self‐administered survey, data is collected from a diverse sample comprising postgraduate students and working professionals. The findings from this empirical investigation aim to shed light on the nuanced dynamics between CSR, OR, and OA, thereby contributing to the scholarly discourse and informing HR practitioners' decision‐making processes.
