“…Moreover, Franek & Kashi (2018) conclude that even new hybrid methods may be used to evaluate corporate performance. The study of Bae et al (2019) showed that high leverage is associated with substantial losses in market share due to unfavourable actions by customers and competitors; financial performance is investigated in the study of Pakurar et al (2019) CENTRAL EUROPEAN BUSINESS REVIEW and Sadaf et al (2018). Moreover, they revealed the effect of corporate social responsibility on the leverage level, which verifies the results of Xu et al (2015).…”

A company's capital structure is a significant factor in valuing its business. The relative levels of equity and debt affect risk and cash flow and, therefore, the amount an investor would be willing to pay for the company or an interest in it. Capital structure matters because it influences the cost of capital. Therefore, this paper aims to quantify the effect of the capital structure on the cost of capital of Slovak enterprises and to suggest an effective way of financial decision-making. The data used in the study was gained from the Bratislava Stock Exchange because publicly available information on enterprises issuing their shares on the stock exchange was needed to calculate the cost of capital. Due to the underdeveloped capital market of Slovakia, we chose 17 stock companies (except for commercial banks) operating on the Slovak market having all the data required. The financial data of companies were obtained from their financial statements spanning 2013 to 2017. The impact of the capital structure on the cost of capital was investigated by the Pearson correlation coefficient, regression analysis and Mann-Whitney U-test. The study found that there is an indirect relationship between the capital structure, the cost of capital and the size of the company. We also conclude that the growing volume of debt may result in a decline in the corporate costs of capital. These findings concerning Slovak enterprises incline to the respected compromise theory.

“…Many studies have indicated that, internal integration facilitates superior intra-firm coordination and collaboration between dissimilar functions, which improves performance in the firm (Huo et al , 2015; Pakurár et al , 2019; Song and Song, 2020). This could be attained through sharing of integrational data and cross-departmental collaboration (Schoenherr and Swink, 2012; Ebrahimi, 2015).…”

The internal dimension of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) refers to the socially responsible behavior of an organization towards its employees. The CSR relationship to employee behavior has received some attention but in general, there is little knowledge about the underlying explanatory mechanisms that can describe this relationship. In this study, a theoretical model of mediation and moderation is developed to explain how CSR can influence employee behavior. Organizational identification and work engagement are used as proxies for employee behavior in the model and internal dimension of CSR is assumed to affect both of them positively. Further, it is proposed that CSR influences the organizational identification positively and this relationship will be stronger in a collectivist culture, which will eventually lead to higher work engagement. A proposed model was tested on a sample of bank employees in Pakistan by using the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) method. The results of this study provide contextual and empirical insights into how CSR influences employee behavior.
