“…In accepting this, Martinez et al (2016) conceptualized CSR around the premises of institutional and stakeholder theories, pointing to the importance of firms to enact social responsibility behaviors as strategies of legitimation and survival through their competitive responses to economic, environmental, ethical and social requirements and pressures from diverse stakeholders associated with firms. In addition, authors such as Van Marrewijk (2003) and Salleh et al (2016) adopted the self-determination theory (SDT) as one of the principles or the roots that contribute to explaining different levels of the motivations of CSR. This theory emphasized that individuals (a person) or groups (a group of people) are eager to learn and build their skills and assimilate institutional values by self-motivating to implement CSR practices to master the construction industry (Zhang et al, 2019;Van Marrewijk, 2003).…”

“…Previous studies have provided certain useful insights on the factors that may influence CSR implementation, primarily on the mainstream business developments (e.g. Salleh et al, 2016;Chang et al, 2015;Ali et al, 2017). However, little empirical study has been conducted to identify the key impact factors of CSR in the construction industry.…”

PurposeThe ability of construction firms to become more environmentally conscious and socially responsible for their business activities has been touted as the key driver for improved individual firms' competitiveness. This study explores the key dimensions of corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices and their impact factors among construction firms.Design/methodology/approachThrough the institutional, stakeholders and self-determination theories, this study proposed a conceptual framework of CSR implementation. For its validation, data were collected from 90 top-tier construction firms using an online survey and analyzed via a two-pronged factor analysis method.FindingsThe empirical results demonstrate that the CSR practices of construction firms include eight key dimensions, e.g. shareholders' interests, government commitment and CSR institutional arrangement. The three key groups of impact factor of CSR implementation are (1) identified factors (i.e. contractors' perceived importance of CSR practices); (2) external institutional factors (i.e. coercive and normative factors and mimetic factors); and (3) intrinsic factors (i.e. strategic business direction, resource and capability and organizational culture).Practical implicationsThe research findings inform the practitioners about how to enact, manage and improve firms' socially responsible goals so as to fulfill their key stakeholders' requirements and expectations and thus enhance their legitimacy in construction businesses.Originality/valueThis study contributes to CSR knowledge by identifying and empirically demonstrating valid measurements of the key dimensions of practices and impact factors toward CSR implementation by construction firms.

“…For ease of understanding and consistency, intrinsic factors refer to "organizational culture," "strategic business direction," "resource and capability" of construction firms. Adding to this, the TPB posits that resource and capability obtained by construction firms can be regarded as perceived behavioral controla perception of how ECAM 31,1 easy or difficult performance of CSR behavior is thought to be (Salleh et al, 2016). The TPB perspective postulates that if the top management of a firm believes they have enough resources and capabilities to undertake CSR activities, such a firm tends to have a more positive attitude toward the actual behavior of CSR practices.…”

PurposeThe interest in corporate social responsibility (CSR) has become burgeoning in the construction industry as firms are under constant pressure from socially conscious stakeholders to demonstrate their efforts to address various CSR issues. This study aims to unveil the key practices and impact factors (KPIFs) of CSR implementation in construction firms and the interrelationships among different key impact factors toward attaining CSR practices.Design/methodology/approachMobilizing the integrated institutional, stakeholder and self-determination theories, a theoretical framework was first developed to elaborate the potential inter-relationships among the key impact factors toward CSR implementation. Data were collected from extra-grade contractors through an online questionnaire survey and was then analyzed by the partial least square structural equation modeling method.FindingsThe results show that construction firms' CSR practices could be classified into eight distinct key dimensions, e.g. shareholders' interests, government commitment and environment preservation. It is found that three groups of key impact factors – external institutional factors (especially coercive-normative factors), intrinsic factors (especially strategic business direction and organizational culture) and identified factors (i.e. the perceived importance of CSR practices) – have statistically significant positive impacts on most key dimensions of CSR practices.Practical implicationsThe research findings have implications for top management to better understand CSR implementation, thereby helping them secure legitimacy to survive and advance in the competitive construction businesses.Originality/valueThe findings contribute to the theoretical body of knowledge in CSR by modeling and empirically demonstrating the influence mechanism of CSR implementation in construction within an integrated model.

This study employed the TPB to examine factors, intention, behaviour, firm performance and sample size in SMEs to engage in CSR. PLS-SEM was used to analyse the respondents. The findings confirmed to have a significant impact for every factor and the intention, intention and the owner's or manager's behaviour which reflected in the firm's performance. While for CSR activities and corporate performance has been found to be moderate by firm size. The result of this study is one of the few to empirically examine each of the TPB variables in CSR participation, supporting the paradigm proposed by Azjen.
