The purpose of the article is to determine how demographic characteristic (sex, age, length of service, type of work) moderate the impact of job satisfaction (JS) and work engagement (WE) on counterproductive work behaviors (CWB). The research objectives were met with application of a survey conducted in Poland. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to analyze the primary data. The proposed theoretical models were intended to determine how JS and particular categories of WE (vigor, absorption, dedication) affect organizational and personal CWB and subjective categories of such behaviors (abuse against others, theft, sabotage, withdrawal). We determined that JS was related to abuse against others, and WE tend to reduce such behaviors. There was also a negative impact of WE on CWB aimed at individuals (CWB-I) and a positive influence of WE on CWB aimed at organization (CWB-O). In turn, JS increased CWB-I, but reduced CWB-O. The article provides meaningful managerial implications for human resource management in Central European environment.

Research background: Corporate social responsibility (CSR) demonstrates that a business should be interested in broader social issues rather than on merely those impacting profit margins. Thus, enterprises across all sectors need to focus on the pillars of CSR, which can ultimately give them a competitive advantage. Previous research papers have focused mainly on the level of CSR in particular industries or how CSR activities are communicated in these industries. Purpose of the article: The paper focuses on demonstrating the level of CSR performance in the chosen central European countries in the context of corporate earnings and specifying the impact of the economic sectors on the level of CSR performance, which is mapped by the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) score. Methods: This study used the ESG score, an indicator of the level of CSR performance, and financial and accounting data of 490 publicly traded enterprises from Central Europe. It also applied correlation analysis, the Kruskal–Wallis test and cluster agglomerative hierarchical clustering. Findings & value added: The results have proved that the CSR performance of central European enterprises is positively associated with the level of corporate earnings in all NACE sectors. This knowledge broadens the existing literature on this topic. The study also revealed statistically significant differences in the development of the CSR concept across the sectors. Then, cluster agglomerative hierarchical clustering identified the groups of sectors with homogenous approaches to CSR. This provides information on the homogeneity or heterogeneity of CSR performance across different industries, which is useful information not only for investors and other stakeholders, but also for researchers.
