The Impact of Corporate Social Responsibility on the Firm’s Financial Performance: The Case of Publicly Listed Companies in the United Arab Emirates

Abstract

Abstract. The relationship between corporate social responsibility and the firm's financial performance is important topic for researchers. The primary aim of the research is to develop a new conceptual framework that will address the underlying relationships between corporate social responsibility and Financial Performance in the publicly listed companies in the UAE. The interaction effects between the components of corporate social responsibility and firm financial performance will be studies by responding to the main research question by way of a triangulation of research data within a mixed-method research paradigm that integrates both quantitative and qualitative methodology. The result of analysis should dictate whether or not a "Knowledge Gap" exists between the academic (theoretical) and the practical (applied) domains.
