“…Consequently, the employees also think that they should support their organization by performing extra-roles, one of such behaviors is innovative work behavior. This finding of the current study is in line with several previous researchers [49,[100][101][102][103][104].…”

“…The central theme of CSR is taking care of every stakeholder including the employees. A plethora of studies has established that CSR is positively related to IWB [49][50][51]. CSR activities of an organization foster an environment of confidence among the employees, and this sense of confidence urges them to take risks and think about innovative ways to induce organizational effectiveness [52].…”

The cut-throat situation of competitiveness in almost every business sector, followed by globalization, shortened product life cycles, and rapid technological changes have raised the importance of innovation to overrun the rivals. Scholars have established that appropriate leadership style is a key enabler for organizational success. However, it is not clear in existing literature how the concept of authentic leadership is related to innovative work behavior (IWB). Likewise, the role of corporate social responsibility (CSR) to induce IWB is also vague in current literature. Thus, the basic purpose of the current study was to test the relationship of CSR and IWB with the mediating effect of authentic leadership. The proposed model was tested in the small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) sector of China. The data were collected through a questionnaire that was distributed among different respondents of the current survey. The data were obtained from a dyad of supervisor and subordinate serving in different SMEs in Wuhan city of China. The study used the structural equation modeling (SEM) technique to validate different hypotheses. The empirical results confirm that CSR positively relates to IWB while authentic leadership partially mediates this relationship. The findings of the current survey will be helpful for policymakers to recognize employees as a source of innovation through CSR and authentic leadership.

“…In the study, it was determined that the social responsibility activities of the hotels did not have a direct effect on OCB; however, they created a positive effect through the mediation of perceived external prestige and pride in organization on OCB. Second, the responses of employees to CSR appear to have been studied mostly in Western countries and in recent years in Asian countries (Fatma, Rahman and Khan, 2016; Nazir & Islam, 2019). Thus, in developing countries such as Turkey, employees' responses to social and environmental responsibility activities have not yet been investigated adequately.…”

Researchers' interest to examine key stakeholders' responses to hospitality companies' social responsibility practices is increasing. Current study is a micro‐level CSR research that aims to examine how hotel employees' perceptions of corporate social responsibility (CSR) affect their organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) and its mediated link through perceived external prestige and pride in organization. This article sample consisted of 419 employees from seven different hotels in Turkey. Structural equation modeling is employed to test research hypotheses. The findings suggest that hotel employees' CSR perception does not have direct positive effect on OCB. Perceived external prestige and pride in organization mediated the relation between CSR perception and OCB, respectively. Finally, the relationship between employees' CSR perception and OCB is sequentially and fully mediated by perceived external prestige and pride in organization. The findings are discussed and theoretical and practical implications are provided.

“…Although there have been some studies on this topic [ 49 , 50 , 51 ], studies have produced mixed findings that highlight that there is more need for research in this area. Finally, the majority of the past studies have explored CSR relationships with employees in other sectors, like hospitality [ 52 , 53 ], banking sector [ 54 ], and small and medium-sized enterprises [ 55 ]; however, the healthcare sector did not receive due attention. The remainder of this article is composed in the following parts.…”

Organizational crisis can serve as a base to provide an opportunity to an organization for enhancing individuals, organizations, and communities. The healthcare sector is one of those sectors that remains under continuous pressure to provide high-quality service delivery to the patients. Hence, the requirement of innovation for this sector is huge when compared to other sectors. The majority of the previous studies have investigated the phenomenon of CSR at the employee’s level (CSR-E) to influence employee behavior positively. However, the importance of CSR-E to enhance the innovative capability of the employees at the workplace is not well-explored in extant literature. Moreover, it is not clear from previous studies how the concept of servant leadership can explain the employee’s engagement towards innovative work behavior (EIB). Thus, the current survey aims to test the relationship of CSR-E and EIB in the healthcare sector of Pakistan with the mediating effect of servant leadership. The data of the current study were obtained through a self-administered (paper-pencil) survey and they were analyzed through the structural equation modeling (SEM) technique. The empirical results of SEM analysis revealed that CSR-E and EIB are positively related and servant leadership partially mediates this relationship. The findings of the current study will be helpful for policymakers to improve their understanding towards CSR-E to induce EIB in the time of crisis. At the same time, the current study also highlights the importance of servant leadership to the policymakers in encouraging the employees to display their innovative capability at the workplace to serve their organization during the time of crisis.
