“…Companies' engagement in certain socially responsible practices may signal those conditions to outsiders (Albinger and Freeman, 2000;Greening and Turban, 2000;Lin et al, 2012;Turban and Greening, 1997).…”

“…Signaling theory suggests that companies' engagement and overall stance in the social responsibility arena may serve as signals of organizational values, norms and working conditions (Albinger and Freeman, 2000;Greening and Turban, 2000;Turban and Greening, 1997). When assessing a future place to work, and because individuals are often unable to know the company in depth, prospective applicants will probably consider that a company with high CSR provides good working conditions to its employees (Greening and Turban, 2000;Turban and Greening, 1997) and, based on that signal, will appraise the company as a good employer (Chatman, 1989;Lin et al, 2012).…”

This study examines the influence of different corporate social responsibility (CSR) dimensions on prospective applicants' responses, namely organizational attractiveness and intention to apply for a job vacancy. Using an experimental 2 x 3 crossed factorial design (n=195), the level of engagement of a hypothetical company in socially responsible practices (high vs. low) was manipulated concerning three dimensions of CSR (employees, community and environment, economic level). Participants were randomly assigned to one of the six conditions and, after reading the corresponding scenario, were asked to evaluate the extent to which the company was considered a good place to work and their intention to apply for a job vacancy in it. Finding reveal that the level of engagement in socially responsible practices had a positive effect both on the degree to which participants favorably perceived the organization as a place to work and on their intention to apply for a job vacancy. Furthermore, the level of engagement in practices towards employees and in the economic domain had a stronger effect on participants' responses than the engagement in practices that benefit community and environment. Accordingly, this study supports the idea that CSR can be a source of competitive advantage in the recruitment of new employees. However, since not all CSR dimensions have the same effect upon applicants' responses, companies should take into account the CSR dimensions in which they are engaged and communicate them to the public. As far as we know, this is the first study to examine the impact of different CSR dimensions both on organizational attractiveness and intention to apply for a job vacancy.

“…Another talent-attracting factor is company ethicality, i.e. the extent to which job seekers perceive a company acts responsibly towards the environment and society (Lin et al 2012;Vlachos et al 2013;Wang 2013). Almost half of UK's workforce prefers to work for ethical companies (Jenkin 2015).…”

Whilst previous studies indicate perceived company ethicality as a driver of job seekers' job-pursuit intentions, it is poorly understood how and why ethical market signals actually affect their application decisions. Perceptions of company ethicality result from market signals that are either within the control of the company (e.g. ethical certifications) and from market signals that are beyond the company's control (e.g. ethical eWoM). Building on communication and information processing theories, this study therefore considers both types of ethical market signals, and examines the psychological mechanisms through which they affect job seekers' intention to apply for a job. The results from a controlled online experiment show that both types of ethical market signals increase job seekers' job-pursuit intentions. These relationships are mediated by applicants' attitude towards the job advertisement, their perceptions of corporate employment image and self-referencing. Consequently, the present study alerts practitioners to consider the effects of company-controlled and non-company-controlled ethical market signals, particularly when aiming to recruit highly-qualified millennial candidates.

RESUMOEste trabalho investiga os estágios de evolução da cidadania corporativa propostos no modelo de Mirvis e Googins (2006). Neste modelo, cada estágio é uma resposta ao conceito de cidadania, a estratégia da adotada pela empresa, a liderança, a estrutura organizacional e as questões gerenciais priorizadas pela alta direção, além do relacionamento e da transparência com os stakeholders. Foram pesquisadas cinco empresas instaladas em Fortaleza, Ceará, tomando por base os critérios de faturamento anual acima de R$ 60 milhões, reconhecimento no mercado por sua imagem, como uma empresa socialmente responsável, e os investimentos em projetos sociais. Os resultados evidenciaram que cada uma das empresas entrevistadas adota um dos estágios de cidadania corporativa, partindo do elementar para o engajado, inovador, integrado até o transformador. Fatores externos e internos limitam a decisão das empresas de avançarem nesta agenda. A pesquisa revelou que os valores universais e intrínsecos da cidadania corporativa geram uma energia de transformação da realidade social. Palavras-chave: Cidadania corporativa; Estratégia; Responsabilidade social corporativa; Stakeholders. STAGES OF CORPORATE CITIZENSHIP: MOVEMENT FROM ELEMENTARY TO TRANSFORMING ABSTRACTThis work investigates the stages of evolution of corporate citizenship developed by Mirvis and Googins (2006). In this model, each stage is a response to the concept of citizenship, the strategy adopted by the company, strategic positioning, attitudes and leadership of senior management with respect to social projects, and the relationship and transparency with stakeholders. Five companies located in Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil were interviewed as part of the study. The criteria adopted to select the companies were annual income (from about R$ 60 million), image as a socially responsible company and investments in social projects. The results show that each of the companies interviewed adopts one of the stages of corporate citizenship proposed by Mirvis and Googins (2006) ranging from elementary, engaged, innovative, and responsible to transformer. Internal and external factors limit companies' abilities to go further. This paper contributes to a collective understanding of the universal and intrinsic value of corporate citizenship in creating energy transformation.
