This study has explored the role of Innovation and productivity as mediating factors between Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and firm's Performance relationship. The objectives of this study are to build and test a theoretical model to identify the mediating factors in the linkage between CSR and performance.The theoretical model (CIPP Model) is deduced using strategic paradigm of literature. It consists of CSR, Innovation, Productivity, and Performance dimensions. Furthermore, several hypotheses were generated to examine the model. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) is employed to test the model using data from CSR practicing firms 197 from Saudi Arabia. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) is performed followed by Structural Equation Modeling to examine the model. The results generally support the hypothesized model with research and managerial implications. The mediation of Innovation along with productivity in CSR linkage to performance isa major contribution to the literature, which may help to explore the black box in the relationship of CSR with performance. Besides proving the business case for the CSR in general, it also advocates the adoption of CSR practices by firms and MNEs operating in the developing countries, as it may enhance innovation and productivity leading to their increased financial performance. This model would be practical and useful for business managers that seek a competitive solution for succeeding in a business crisis and work in the settings of international business.

“…In recent years, much has been done to examine the mediating effects of employee engagement as an essential component to positive organizational change [12]. In conjunction with this have been efforts to better understand the relationship that exists between supervisor/co-worker/organizational support as well as CSR and future well-being and performance by using the job demands-resources model of employees' work engagement [38][39][40][41]. Understanding these issues has undoubtedly contributed to organizations achieving higher levels of sustainable development in [1,9].…”

Employee Engagement for Sustainable Organizations: Keyword Analysis Using Social Network Analysis and Burst Detection Approach

et al. 2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Abstract:The issue of sustainability is a vital long-term goal for organizations and as such has formed the basis of much academic research over the last two decades. Organizational sustainability is defined as the ability for an organization to accomplish a range of economic, environmental, and human performance objectives. As one of the most studied topics in organizational science, employee engagement at work is seen as a critical component to achieving sustainable organizational success. In order to better understand the employee engagement discourse, this study examined the keywords that appear in the titles and abstract of the employee engagement research domain using the burst detection and social network analysis techniques. A total of 1406 employee engagement relevant articles that were published from 1990 to 2015 were included and investigated in the study. The results revealed the fading, emerging, and central themes within the employee engagement domain.

“…Summing up, TL has been deemed to be characterized by the 4 Is, namely intellectual stimulation, idealized influence, inspirational motivation, and individualized consideration [18,21]. All in all, the growing interest in TL theory suggest that TL is the most dominant theory in leadership research [22]. Specifically, the accumulated literature trends suggest that TL influences employee job satisfaction, task performance, job performance, organization performance, and CSR [23].…”

Does What Goes Around Really Comes Around? The Mediating Effect of CSR on the Relationship between Transformational Leadership and Employee’s Job Performance in Law Firms

et al. 2019

Leadership is essential for the success of every organization, as people believe in the ability of their leaders to guide change and achieve success. Today’s law firms are operating in a complex business environment and facing huge competition from both clients and talent. Tough competition, business alliances, corporate social responsibleness, and market conditions demand a huge transformation in the law industry. This study was designed to investigate the relationships between transformational leadership (TL), employee’s job performance (JP), and corporate social responsibility (CSR), as well the mediating mechanism of CSR among TL and JP. The data has been collected from 200 employees working in law firms of Pakistan by using a cross sectional research method. The study hypothesized that TL is significantly related to JP and CSR; in addition, CSR mediates the relationship between TL and JP. Results confirm our conjectures, hence allowing us to contribute to the scant literature of TL, CSR, and JP in the law industry. Our study provides important information to the decision makers who are involved in policymaking; that the adoption of TL practices and involvement in CSR activities can improve JP. Moreover, theoretical and practical implementations are provided for generalization.
