“…For many years, there has been a wide range of research on the association between CSR and organizational performance, but still, there is a deficit regarding the intermediate variables affecting the relationship between CSR and performance [26]. There is evidence that employee satisfaction, loyalty, motivation, and job commitment are the outcomes of CSR, but there is lack of explanation of the mechanisms and processes that lie between the relationship of CSR and performance, particularly concerning employee creativity because of CSR [24].…”

“…For example, Madjar [29] et al have empirically examined how employees' positive mood states and creative personality characteristics mediate and moderate innovative performance, respectively. Zhu [26] studied the role of ethical leadership in firm performance, linking the antecedents and outcomes of CSR. Gong [30] scrutinized the positive relationship between employee creativity and job performance with the help of two learning-related personal and situational variables.…”

Abstract:Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is an emerging and fast-growing concept for both academic research and organizations. In recent years, the far-reaching influence of CSR practices on stakeholders has made both researchers and practitioners pay heed to this dimension. Employees are one of the most important stakeholders influenced by CSR practices. CSR brings in many ideas, concepts, and techniques. In the past, different antecedents and consequences of corporate social responsibility have been studied, but there is still a deficit in regard to whether employee creative performance is an outcome of corporate social responsibility, and the interlinked variables that might enhance this relationship. The main objective of this study is to examine how CSR practices enhance employee performances within the organization, and which other variables may enhance this relationship. The literature suggests that employees who value CSR campaigns and other practices identify with their company to a greater degree, work with more devotion and loyalty, and show more creativity in their work performance. In this study, organizational identification has been taken as the mediator, and creative self-efficacy has been taken as the moderator. The hypotheses were tested within the sample of companies engaging in CSR practices in Pakistan. A questionnaire survey was conducted using simple random sampling. Simple linear regression, hierarchical regression, and Barron and Kenny tests were applied through SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Science) for data analysis, and results were found according to the proposed model of the study.

“…Moreover, in spite of the augmented curiosity in the link between leadership and CSR, startlingly little research which explores this intersection exists (Strand, 2011). The few studies that have linked leadership to CSR have mainly concerted on the ethical, transformational, and transactional leadership styles (e.g., Groves and La Rocca, 2011;Tian et al, 2015;Zhu et al, 2014).…”

“…Given that a high level of CSR performance contributes to an improvement in corporate reputation [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25], firms can actively seek for CSR to attract foreign investments. In this sense, we investigate the role of CSR performance in enhancing its foreign investments.…”

Corporate Social Responsibility as a Strategic Means to Attract Foreign Investment: Evidence from Korea

This study examines how foreign investment can be driven by corporate social responsibility (CSR). By specifying the underlying mechanism of foreign investors' stock picking behavior, we argue that CSR can attract foreign investment. Given that CSR actions are taken to meet various needs of its stakeholders, the host firm can convey a reliable signal to foreign investors as well as the stakeholders. As such, foreign investments can be increased in the host firm. This idea is examined in a sample of Korean firms. We hypothesize that Korean firms, as host firms, will have more foreign investments, instantiated by foreign ownership, if they are more actively engaged in CSR. To test this argument, we collected a panel dataset of the Korea Economic Justice Institute (KEJI) Index between 2004 and 2009 to measure CSR performance of the firm. We estimated foreign ownership with respect to CSR performance. As a result, we found a positive effect of CSR performance on foreign ownership. Given the importance of foreign investment in host countries, this study opens an avenue that can account for foreign investors' stock-picking behavior.
