“…Finally, this paper also contributes to the studies on the relationship between CSR and innovation in developing countries. Differing from previous findings of no relationship between CSR and innovation in developing countries [5], our study shows that certain categories of CSR have a significant positive impact on innovation in China. This provides different empirical evidence for understanding the relationship between CSR and innovation in developing countries.…”

“…Ecological investments in the environment weaken the R&D effect because managers' attention to innovation can be undermined by their emphasis on environment-related CSR. Furthermore, using data from 150 companies in 12 developing countries, Ullah and Sun [5] find no significant relationship between CSR and innovation in developing countries.…”

“…Some studies show that CSR can promote innovation [1] by accelerating valuable external information exchange between stakeholders [2], identifying new business opportunities from social needs [3], and increasing employee participation and confidence [4]. However, other studies find that CSR can cause financial burdens, weaken firms' competitiveness, and negatively affect innovation [5]. Gallego-Álvarez et al [6] show that research and development (R&D) investment may be incompatible with encouraging firms' sustainable behavior.…”

Despite the existing vast literature on corporate social responsibility (CSR), there is a lack of research on the influences of CSR categories (i.e., employees; suppliers, customers, and consumers; environment; and social welfare). The objective of this paper is to investigate the influences of distinct CSR categories on firm innovation from a resource-based theory perspective. Based on a sample of Chinese A-share listed firms from 2010 to 2017, we find that employee-, supplier, customer, and consumer-, and environment-related CSR promotes innovation, while society welfare-related CSR reduces firm innovation. We also examine the distinct mechanisms of distinct CSR categories to influence innovation. Our findings mainly contribute to the literature on the association between CSR and innovation by considering the different influences of distinct CSR categories.

“…As our previous review has shown, there are clear regional differences in studies on company sustainability. In particular, the Latin American area is deficient in studies that address business sustainability (Crane & Glozer, 2016; Lizarzaburu & Del Brio, 2016; Ocampo López et al, 2016; Sierra‐García et al, 2014; Ullah & Sun, 2021) What can condition the achievement of the SDGs established in the 2030 agenda (UN, 2015), as indicated by Han and Lee (2021).…”

The conceptualization of the stakeholders of the companies for the fulfillment of the objectives of sustainable development is controversial, even more so, if it is approached from the perspective of corporate social responsibility and the psychology of the employees and their behavior. The existing literature and knowledge on the relationship among the stakeholder approach, corporate social responsibility and the achievement of the SDGs remain unstructured and fragmented. The objective of the manuscript is to identify and systematize scientific research on the stakeholder approach with respect to corporate social responsibility, in order to achieve business sustainability, in response to sustainable development goals and from the perspective of the well‐being of workers. Our main contribution to the literature review is to focus on all these issues together, and not in isolation. A systematic literature search is conducted following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta‐Analyzes (PRISMA). The approaches, issues and methodologies that predominate in the academic field in the last 5 years (2015–2021) were analyzed. Based on this review, we define a research agenda that synthesizes key trends and promising lines of research for further advancement of theoretical and empirical knowledge on the relationship among stakeholders, corporate social responsibility, and human resource management.

“…In principle, however, the company is always seen as a body that is not isolated from the environment but interacts with society. This relationship brings rights and obligations to this society, and it should lead not only to economic growth but also to an increase in quality of life (Ullah & Sun, 2021). This can help a company to succeed commercially.…”

Corporate social responsibility is a much-discussed topic because it includes an inexhaustible number of activities in the economic, social and environmental fields. The basic theoretical basis of social responsibility is applied to a specific Czech company. A questionnaire for the employees of the subsidiary helped with the research. It was found that the company is doing very well in corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities and has a good portfolio for compiling a comprehensive CSR report, which is a proposal as one of the measures. Another area suitable for the development of some activities is the ecological part. The company actively supports the ecological approach and behaviour, and it has set some measures, such as ISO 14001 certification at its gas station branches, so it is well on its way to certifying its office buildings. Keywords: corporate social responsibility, transport industry, Czech Republic
