“…The economic and legal dimensions of Carroll's CSR pyramid have a positive and significant impact on customers' buying behavior. Previous literature also confirmed similar results in which legal and economic dimensions are vital for any CSR business strategy (Lu et al, 2020;Nurunnabi et al, 2020;Hoque et al, 2018). This research's findings have further demonstrated that the ethical and philanthropic dimensions of Carroll's CSR pyramid have a significant and positive influence on customers' buying behavior.…”

“…According to Nurunnabi et al (2020), CSR's notion can be simply concluded as an internationally accepted and practiced way to self-regulate by businesses. In layman's terms, CSR is a way for corporations to keep checks on themselves -preventing themselves from being too exploitive or harmful to either the society or the ecosystem they are operating in (Schyvinck & Willem, 2018).…”

“…The study aims to examine, investigate, and research the full extent of CSR activities conducted for South Asia's developing economies from the pharmaceutical industries' perspective. Furthermore, the study will attempt to understand, or rather, collect data from the pharmaceutical industries' target audience to ascertain the relationship and the impact of CSR on its brand loyalty, cause-related marketing, and buying behavior -thus establishing CSR as a useful marketing tool using the dimensions of Carroll's CSR pyramid (Lu et al, 2020;Nurunnabi et al, 2020). According to Moliner et al (2019) and Ahmad et al (2017), there is a dearth of existing literature on the subject.…”

Research background: This paper integrates the marketing and corporate social responsibility concepts by investigating how the previous studies de-bated CSR as a business strategy. This discussion extended from academics to business practices. Hence, this study investigated the concept of CSR as a business strategy in a multifactorial fashion in the marketing field. Purpose of the article: This study evaluates the modified model of CSR initiatives as business and marketing strategy and their impact on customers' buying behavior. For this purpose, we have taken dimensions of Carroll's pyramid of CSR as marketing strategies. We have also examined the influence of brand loyalty and cause-related marketing as mediating variables and technology as a moderator between dimensions of Carroll's pyramid and customers' buying behavior. Methods: We employed modified theoretical & conceptual model for evaluating the direct and indirect hypothesized relationship. We have collected 693 responses from the structured and adapted questionnaire. The survey was done among marketing and senior managers of the Asian pharmaceutical industry. We employed SEM-based multivariate modeling to examine the hypothesized relationship. Findings & value added: The finding of this research exhibited that dimensions of Carroll?s pyramid of CSR have a positive and significant impact on customers' buying behavior. The results further demonstrated that brand loyal-ty and cause-related marketing positively and significantly impact mediators between CSR dimensions and customers? buying behavior. Finally, the technology has a significant influence as a moderator between exogenous and endogenous factors. The undertaken study demonstrated important theoretical and practical implications. The modified conceptual framework has provided several new dimensions for future researchers to use and replicate in different economic sectors. On the other hand, practitioners of the pharmaceutical industry should incorporate Carroll's CSR pyramid as business strategies to gain the trust and respect of their customers.

Leadership is essential for the success of every organization, as people believe in the ability of their leaders to guide change and achieve success. Today’s law firms are operating in a complex business environment and facing huge competition from both clients and talent. Tough competition, business alliances, corporate social responsibleness, and market conditions demand a huge transformation in the law industry. This study was designed to investigate the relationships between transformational leadership (TL), employee’s job performance (JP), and corporate social responsibility (CSR), as well the mediating mechanism of CSR among TL and JP. The data has been collected from 200 employees working in law firms of Pakistan by using a cross sectional research method. The study hypothesized that TL is significantly related to JP and CSR; in addition, CSR mediates the relationship between TL and JP. Results confirm our conjectures, hence allowing us to contribute to the scant literature of TL, CSR, and JP in the law industry. Our study provides important information to the decision makers who are involved in policymaking; that the adoption of TL practices and involvement in CSR activities can improve JP. Moreover, theoretical and practical implementations are provided for generalization.

CEO Religion and Corporate Social Responsibility: A Socio-behavioral Model

Studies linking religion to CSR have produced conflicting findings due to a failure to draw distinctions among religious influences and different CSR practices, and to theorize their connection. Drawing on social identity theory and the theory of planned behavior, we first argue that religion will influence CSR when ethical values from a CEO’s religious social identification resonate with an aspect of CSR. Second, CEO attitudes congruent with those values and forms of CSR—interpersonal empathy and proactiveness—will strengthen that relationship. Third, the relationship between religious social identification and CSR will be strengthened by a CEO’s ability to enact CSR policies, a function of personal and firm market power. Our research on 270 CEOs from 242 publicly traded US firms from 2007 to 2020 supports these relationships.
