“…For one thing, mangers can establish ethical standards, communicating the importance of ethics and rewarding and supporting employees who behave ethically or serve as role models of ethical behavior. For another thing, what matters more is that managers walk the talk by displaying ethical and pro-social behaviors [29]. In addition, mangers can promote ethical perception among employees through public relations activities as well as internal company activities [26].…”

The sustainable development of the environment and society depends not only on firms’ social responsibility initiatives, but also on employees’ socially responsible behavior during their daily work life. Hence, it is important to study why and how employees go about the socially responsible behaviors (SRB), such as environmental protection and charitable donations. Although research has been done on the antecedents of employees’ SRB from personal, contextual and leadership perspectives, little is known about the mechanism through which they affect these behaviors. Moreover, compared with the other two perspectives, research from the leadership perspective is relatively scarce. In this paper, we aim to fill these research gaps. Based on 936 respondents from 109 corporations, we empirically test the cross-level direct effect of ethical leadership on employees’ SRB and the cross-level mediating effect of perceived organizational virtuousness. In our empirical analyses, we adopt statistical methodologies such as hierarchical linear modeling and multilevel mediation analysis. Our results show that perceived organizational virtuousness partly mediates the influence of ethical leadership on employees’ environmental protection and charitable donation. In other words, ethical leadership enables employees to form the perception of organizational virtuousness, and therefore employees are more engaged in environmental protection and charitable donations. This research provides important insights for firms and their employees to become more socially and environmentally responsible.

“…Indeed, it has become a trend for enterprises to take the initiative to assume social responsibility in China against the backdrop of advocating sustainable development [5]. Scholars have demonstrated that corporate cultural orientation and the entrepreneur's cultural style will affect CSR [6][7][8]. Corporate culture is embedded in the thoughts and behaviours of employees at all levels of the firm, providing guidance and constraints on corporate behaviour [9,10] and affecting other stakeholders such as consumers, distributors, and communities [11].…”

This paper investigated the impact of employee quality on corporate social responsibility (CSR). Based on data from China A-share-listed companies for the years 2012–2016 and using ordinary least squares, our empirical results show that the educational level of the workforce, as a proxy for employee quality, is positively associated with CSR, which suggests that higher education can promote CSR implementation. Additional analyses found that this positive relationship is more pronounced in non-state-owned enterprises, enterprises in regions with lower marketisation processes, and firms with lower proportions of independent directors. This study extends the literature on human capital at the level of firms’ entire workforce and CSR by elaborating the positive effect of employee quality on CSR in the context of an emerging economy (China). The results suggest that it is necessary to consider the educational level of employees when analysing CSR, which is of strategic significance for corporate sustainable development.
